Hemp for your dreads

I discovered hemp in Nepal. In the mad and crazy streets of Thamel there are many shops specializing in products made out of hemp.

Waistcoats, scarfs, trousers, shirts, sandals and boots... and of course hats and caps.

At last the hemp caps have arrived! Here they are:

These caps have a cool fit and very warm colours, ideal for summer and winter alike.

Here's a set of three hats that can also be worn as a neck warmer.

Here are some brimmed caps.

This blue/orange/purple brimmed cap has a larger diameter, perfect for tuckin' in those dreads!

Another brimmed cap, this one with back adjustable string.

This is the only beanie in hemp natural colour.

These products are 100% hemp handmade in Nepal.

Time to go wild

I am a feather fan and a feather freak.

Whenever I go out in nature I am more looking down than straight or up.

Always on the lookout for feathers :)

 

And personally I am much more happier if a man gifts me feathers instead of flowers! Especially if they are white feathers - my absolute favourite <3

I found some real incredible feathers, some belonging to eagles, owls, pheasants, ducks, crows, pigeons and a myriad of different birds. 

 

With feathers you can edge your look to a wild one.

Or use them for a statement of individuality and personality.

There are many ways you can accessorize and decorate your hair with the use of feathers. The easiest way is to stick loose feathers into your hair and fix them with a small rubber or pin. This looks better if you get hold of a couple of long and really awesome patterned feathers.

If you dont have time to go look for feathers, you can find many of these ready-made items on the net. 

Clips with coloured feathers - often also with charms and beads. One of the most common hair feathers are those of the peacock, undoubtedly the most beautiful natural feather on the planet!

Another very popular feather for the hair is the grizzly rooster feathers - thin and long striped feathers usually used for extensions. The original feathers come only in brown or black shades with white. But you can find practically any colour. Usually they come as clip-ons.

Head bands are also an easy way to show off feathers in your hair. Easy to do yourselves with a string (plain or macrame' or brail) with pieces of feathers attached with it. 

Feather chains are becoming more popular as they appear to be fashion jewellery.

Another way to incorporate feathers in your dreads is to string them around your locks or extensions directly.

 * Create your style this Summer with feathers *

Go for a walk in nature, along forests and near lakes, you are sure to find a feather or two or more.  

When you are using feathers that you yourself have found, then they become a pleasant reminder, a story to tell, and a sweet memory!
