Hand and headbands

History
• A headband is a clothing accessory worn in the hair or
around the forehead, usually to hold hair away from
the face or eyes. Headbands generally consist of a loop
of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped piece of
flexible plastic or metal. They come in assorted shapes
and sizes and are used for both fashion and practical or
utilitarian purposes.
• In the UK, horseshoe-shaped headbands are
sometimes called "Alice bands" after the headbands
that Alice is often depicted wearing in Through the
Looking-Glass.[1]
 Greek and romans
• The beginning of headbands was no later than around
475 BC to 330 BC, with the ancient Greeks, who wore
hair wreaths. The Greeks and Romans wore these
pieces for very special occasions or an important event.
Cultures such as the Etruscans and Romans started to
decorate their wreaths with jewels made up of gold
and silver. While wreaths are certainly a likely
beginning of today's headbands, some believe that
current day hair bands have slowly taken shape from
scarves that were worn around the head or were
modified from the band of hats that tied under the
chin.
 Jews
• In the ancient times, Jews originally wore
headbands, besides turbans, and keffiyehs as
their traditional clothing. In modern times,
these Jewish fashions are worn by Mizrahi
Jewsonly.
