History of the headband
Headbands are not a recent invention in the fashion world, as a matter of fact, they have a very long history.
Ancient Greek and Roman women used to wear them as hair wreaths, they would also decorate their hair with jewelry and flowers that held the place of a headband.
Their role of decorating women’s hair was replaced with a more practical one at the beginning of the 20th century. The women used to wear headaches bands, the name is self-explanatory, and in France, they called them “bandeau”, lacy things sometimes adorned with ribbons or feathers.
Not only it is a fashion item, but the headband also has a long history of cultural use, like for religious purposes.
Launched as a fashion statement in 1920, the headband featured in both silent movies and was depicted in novels like The Great Gatsby.
1930 brings a more practical use to the classic headband and the ads of the time feature women wearing jeans and belts, and also a headband while working. It was a big part of changing perspectives when it came to women’s role in society. The most famous headband of the time pictured Rosie the Riveter in the Westinghouse poster during WWII.
After the war, the headband became a decorative item once more. Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Jackie O wore headbands as part of the entire outfit.
The 70’ and the 80’ brought a new sense of style to the old hair accessory and integrated it into a sports context along with spandex.
Nowadays, headbands are whatever we wish them to be.
Wearing them as accessories at a wedding, for religious purposes, whenever we need our hair to stay in one place, or just for the fun of it.
