The Magical Sparkle Of Fhairy Strands

Yes you read that correct! It's fffffffff-hhhhhairy strands! A play on words for fairy strands. This weekend my daughter and I went for the shimmer and the glimmer of Fairy hair, while attending the Mythic Faire in Maryland. We were familiar with this sparkling look from the Faerie Con gatherings. Some of our favorite Fae peeps such as artist Linda Ravenscroft and musician Samantha Stevenson recommended we get them because they are fun, unique and long lasting. In fact everyone we talked with this weekend loved their strands and said they last for up to four months! So let's go for the fairy light!!!!

Since we were fortunate enough to have the 'Faerie Goddess Mother' herself put them in our hair, we went for the gold! My daughter who has darker hair, chose the copper fairy strands. The strands are actually silk garment threads and come in many colors. Tied to a single strand of hair they add a spark of light that moves through your hair. You can get 10 - 20 fairy strands put in your hair and not look overdone. The effect is beautiful, mysterious and elusive. People turn their heads as they pass you and then a big smile comes across their face as they realize something different is going on with your hair. Yes your hair really does magically sparkle!

It is hard to photograph the elusive strands in your hair, because 
they do not sit on top of your hair in stripes. They are woven into the hair, so to create a quick glimpse of shimmer. They move with your hair and add a hint of glimmer! It depends on the light around you how much you shine! Look closely and see if you can find them! My holographic strands are called prismatic gold. Click photos for view.

A few close-up photos of my hair in the mirror to try and show you how these non-chemical highlights work within your hair. A very subtle yet stunning effect. Our men love our shimmering hair! 

If you are not fortunate enough to live in the land of the Fae gatherings, you can purchase your own kit online from Faecraft and then have a friend who is good with knots put the Fhairy Strands in your hair. The 'Faerie Goddess Mother' has also invented a special 'Pixie Pick' to help tie that tiny knot. You can view the film below to see how to do the strands yourself. Faecraft also sells beautiful Faerie gloves at Faerie festivals and gatherings. I actually have the pair she has on in this video, as well as a few new yummy ones!
