Product review: Feather headband (Beautiful Disaster)
A photograph of the feather headband from Beautiful Disaster
Fashionomy had featured Beautiful Disaster’s popular feather accessories in a few entries already. One day, as I was browsing Beautiful Disaster entire collection, a lot of questions which popped in my head. How will the feather headband look like on my head? Will it be too flamboyant? Will the feather fall off or shrink like the peacock feather earring I once had? Will the headband be too tight that it’ll hurt my head? So I thought I’ll just mail the creator behind Beautiful Disaster headband, Celine, and she generously send one of her headband over to be reviewed!
The feather headband
When you go to Beautiful Disaster website, you’ll see assorted of fanciful headbands amongst other things like bib necklace, feather hair clips and leggings. Beautiful Disaster is popular for it’s handmade, one-of-a-kind feather headband, we decided to choose just that.
The headband arrived in a sturdy box and was wrapped with soft pink paper to protect the headband. A lot of people reveal that one thing that hold them back from shopping online is that they are worried that the item that they receive doesn’t look like what they’ve seen online. Luckily, the headband look even better than I’ve expected. I think photographs cannot capture the soft texture of the feather and seeing the feathery headband makes me so excited! (I love headbands. Look at my collection I uploaded on Fashionomy’s Facebook)
As the whole point of a review is to talk about the experience with the headband, I wore it everywhere. Boy, it got me a lot of attention. Everybody told me it look great or that they like my headband and then ask me where to buy it. They are all pleasantly surprise to find that the expensive looking headband only cost RM 25. So I can safely say that if you love the limelight, get a feather headband. I assure you that you’ll be showered with compliments!
My main concern was that the headband would be too fragile to handle my abuse. I admit I’m not a person who takes good care of my things and I like that things I buy wouldn’t break so easily. I was also worried that the feather will fall off easily since the last experience I have with a feather earring.
After wearing it for a week or so, I can say that the hairband is sturdy enough for normal usage or even everyday wear. But this is not something you want to throw into your bag for it might ruin the delicate feather. It is also beautifully made; there are no excess glue sticking out of the headband or flimsy feather will will fall off every time you touch it.
One problem with feather headband in general is that it can potentially look a little too much and risk looking overdress. If you’re worried about that, I would suggest you to choose a feather headband that matches with your hair colour as much as possible. It shouldn’t contrast too much with your hair and should not have too many colours.
I think that should address some of the questions you may have and it’s time to gush about it! I love that the headband is handmade and that you can’t get the same one anywhere else! It’s perfect for parties, proms or any events where you’ll be expected to dress up. The colours are so vibrant, it’ll make you happy just by looking at it.
Overall
Generally, I love the feather headband! It seems like everyone else do too. It’s one of my favourite headgear now. I would personally pay RM 25 for a unique headband like this. Although I’m a little worried I will break it like how I break my many other headbands, I’ve inspected the hairband and found out that I can buy another plain black headband and stick the feather back on it (the feathers are stuck on a piece of fabric)! Wear this to a party and I assure you’ll be shower with a lot of compliments (not to mention bombarded with a lot of questions). In short, Beautiful Disaster’s headband make head turns.
