Hair jewelery or Hair adornments have in a sense faded, being replaced by what is generally known as an 'accessory' today. Often with no meaning, material, or representation of the individual wearing them other than the practical sense. Hair adornments aren't always something we simply put in our hair. They complement or produce a particular hairstyle. Often adornments produce a powerful statement about who we are, our character, or spirit. Adornments say something about us, and mark a point in our lives. They become a keepsake, a favorite, or a talisman. In a world where mass production takes the center stage we seek our individuality to separate our own identity from everyone else. Whether it be a unique jewelry item, clothing, or other material object, we constantly push to find something beneath the layers that identifies us as who we are. The head like no other part of the body is our immediate statement, not only to others, but also ourselves. Changing a hairstyle makes us feel different, act different, give us confidence, or a sense of security. It is the single most powerful statement on our body.
The adornment or accessory compliments the head, or the hairstyle. Whether we realize it or not our hairstyle is our own unique identity, our own concept of who we are, our social construction. Like a snowflake, no two are exactly alike. The implements we use can make or break the creation, whether the style be elaborate or basic, modern or classic. The material used in the implement creates a theme, and and the theme is then reflected in the style. The material can say temporary, unsure, cheap, or just for fun; or it can say permanent, confident, and unique. The implement we use when put together with the hairstyle becomes a melody, a recipe, or form of art work. Simplicity is often the most powerful statement that can be made, and likewise simplicity compliments our favorite melodies and recipes. The style can create a obvious meaning, or an emotive quality that words aren't capable of describing.
