The Enthralling World Of Head And Hair Jewelry

‘But if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair are given to her for a covering.’ -The great bible beautifully describes the poise and grace long locks add to a women’s persona. Rightly said, yes long hairs are bliss to every woman. But every beautiful thing needs to be preserved and cherished all the time, right? That is the reason why women around the world are heavily inclined towards prettifying their hair with gorgeous hair jewelries and accessories.

 Previously, both women and men used to fashion their mane with jewelry pieces made up of ivory, gold and shells.  It was the Greeks who invented hair bands to tie back hair, an accessory that is still used by men and women around the world. Their modified version came to light later on as and when humans felt the need to add more artistry to their hair.

This gave jewelry artists a golden opportunity to step in world of hair styling with their own creative ideas. The wide number of glamorous and chic motifs presented by them proved quite useful in gratifying the quest for stunning head adornments among women. Every single hair accessory has an interesting history of its own. In the 1800s and 1900s, comb was one of the most popular hair accessories. For class distinction, combs used by royal families were often decorated with real or faux gems, diamonds, and other precious stones. Women also wore ribbons, pearls, or beautiful bonnets to decorate their hair. Tiaras, headbands, Greek headbands (the ones that are closed from the back and open in front), hair chains, hair bows are the other entities that joined the league later on.

The trends may have changed with time but desire to beautify oneself has remained the same. The present world presents a plethora of options for each kind of hair.
