HAIR TIES 🎀
HISTORY OF DESIGN: HAIR TIE
Why I chose hair ties?
~I chose hair tie as my daily object because I use it from the day to day time.
~Ancient Greece showed women wearing ponytails. However,it was the pre-17th century men of the Manchu people in Northern China that seem to have brought the ponytail mainstream. They grew their hair long on top of their heads,and slightly shaved the front. The long hair wad often braided and called a"queue" which is the French word for "tail". Later, the Manchu people forced the Han Chinese men and women, who traditionally wore their hair in bus, to take on the style as well. In fact, not wearing a ponytail became a punishable offense.
Who invented or secured?
~Men used ribbons, fabric or leather and a pin to pull air back. It was in 1820,however that Thomas Hancock obtained the first patent for the use of elastic in things like shoes and fasteners.Then, in 1845,British businessman, Stephen Perry, secured the patent for rubber band.
How was invented?
~The beginning of headbands was no later than around 475BC to 330BC,with the ancient Greeks,who wore hair wreaths.
~The early to mid 19th century and the modernisation of the rubber industry allowed for use of rubber in clothing,which would ultimately include early elastic hair ties.
~A hair tie is an item used to fasten hair, particularly long hair, away from areas such as the face. This is usually done as part of a hairstyle such as pigtails, bunches, or ponytails for straight, wavy, and loosely curled hair, and referred to as afro puffs, bunny tail, and "pineapples" for highly curled and highly textured natural hair. Two common types of hair tie are the scrunchie and the elastic. The term can also include a fixed tie or rubber band which is placed through or around strands to hold specific parts of hair together, rather than tie it or clasp together like a hair clip.
