The 1920s defined social, cultural rebellion and modern
fashion like beads, fringe and the flapper revolution. This decade loved bling
and sparkle mainly in head-wear. Infamous beaded headbands, skullcaps and
feather hair clips dressing up their short hairdos. This era marked the
beginning of freedom for women. They gained the right to vote as well as
playing active roles in sports, social life and in the workplace. Therefore
women adopted new fashions harmonizing with their changing roles in society.
This gave them freedom of movement than the tight-laced Victorian and Edwardian
garments they had previously worn. Same with the haircuts in which they
replaced their long Victorian locks with shorter hairstyles.
The trend of headbands started when King Tut’s tomb was
discovered in 1924. Thus every woman wanted to look like an Egyptian queen.
Head wraps, crowns, tiaras, full headdresses, and small hair clips are produced
from beautiful precious stones, feathers and pearls.
