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.
