For the first post of the year, I thought I'd do something fun....such as headbands!
But where did these fabulous accessories come from?
In the era of Ancient Greece, women would adorn their heads with wreaths and bands. Later, Romans added gold and silver to the headwear.
Later in the Victorian Era, headbands made a comeback after losing popularity for many years.
Because this era was so fond of adornment, the women would put combs and jewels in their hair. Floral bands were reintroduced during this time due to the Aesthetic Movement. (The original "flower children" or "hippies",)
And of course, the Roaring '20's. Headbands would be worn to tuck long hair under give the allusion that the woman had short hair, as that was the style. It was also worn just as an accessory.
And Blair Waldorf with all of her fabulous headbands!
