Feather Extensions

Feather Extensions

THE summer craze of 2012 is back for 2013... 
A craze that started in America the celebs LOVED!





So channel your inner bohemian hippy self and jump on this craze...

At Something Different we have a selection of 11 gorgeous colours in synthetic hair strands made to look like a grizzly rooster feathers... On some websites you'll find these feathers (real feathers) selling for a fortune! No need for what is just a passing trend so we like to keep things cheap and cheerful...


To make this craze accessible to anyone and everyone I've made these into hair clips.
Each clip is made up of 2 strands of hair in the colours of your choice attached to a light brown metal hair extension clip...
#1 BROWN #2 GREY #3 BLUE #4 TURQUOISE #5 GREEN #6 YELLOW
#7 ORANGE #8 RED #9 DARK PINK #10 BRIGHT PINK #11 LILAC 


These couldn't be simpler to put in...
Just section off a bit of hair, (you want to not see the clip so underneath you parting is best) 
Back comb at the roots and spritz a bit of hairspray, this will make the clip hold in place a lot longer and not simply slide out....
The extension clips are super simple just click them open then slide the comb section into the hair and snap shut! Easy peasy! 

1 clip with 2 colour strands = £5 2 clips with 4 colour strands = £8 
(when ordering a pair you don't need to pick the same colours on each clip, you can pick up to 4 different colours)

I LOVED mine last year and went for subtle shades of grey and lilac to blend in with my ash blond hair but I'm thinking of going for brighter shades this summer! 

Don't wait around too long to pick your colours as the popular ones always go quick!

Glitter Bows

Glitter Bows!

So the phenomenal success of the glitter bows over Christmas was a total surprise! I love how the allure of glitter and sparkle has us all falling in love with bows again...


Even over at Something Different HQ we hadn't really been concentrating on bows in a while, 
headbands and hairbands had been the more popular choice...


Now available in 15 amazing colours including the new selection of pastel colours which are just beyond girly! Glitter is definitely not just for Christmas...

My personal favourite is to wear my hair up in a messy bun with my bow at the back...


What's yours? Here's some pictures of my lovely customers...


And it's not just bows... Glitter has brought us the super cute and PERFECT for valentines Glitter Love Heart hairband and Glitter Love Heart Shoe Clips...

Happy New Year!

First ever selection of hairbands
I'm a very laid back person and not in any way trying to conquer the world with hair bows! But I'm always happy when I get such great feedback on what I call my little hobby...



Summer 2011
Summer 2010
2013 will see me go back to basics and bring you more limited editions. I have a huge amount of vintage fabric and trims coming from around the world in the mail over the next few weeks and these will all be limited designs, you know you'll have a little piece of something different...




In these tough times more and more people are becoming much more creative which is fab! Lets re-use what we have, customise what was last seasons fave outfit into something that can be worn today... Disposible fashion is nothing to be ashamed of but lets squeeze every last bit out of what we can afford!

This new blog will be a forum for me, and any of you! To share style tips with any Something Different designs, I'll share my FAVOURITE things of the moment and why not add a few DIY posts in too!
