Chin Length Hair Request - Dawn

Dawn,I really love the new hair jewelry but my hair is only chinlength. I would love to see some designs for hair my length.Any plans in that direction? I have my credit card waiting by my PC. :-)TinaPS. I love those hair pins with flowers. How bout some with the amber or other rare gems?

I think barrettes are a great idea. I'd love to see some truly hair-friendly ones - they're so difficult to find! I like to wear the front part of my hair back in a barrette, or to hold my growing-out bangs out of my eyes with barrettes on each side, but I find quite a bit of breakage with most barrettes I've tried, so I don't often do so.Another thing that I'd like to see (although I don't know if there would be nearly as much demand for these) is decorative combs - the sort used to hold back the sides of hair, or the type used in fancy updos. Lately, I've been wearing combs quite often, holding back my bangs and so on (since they seem to cause less damage on my hair than barrettes), but the only remotely hair-friendly ones I've found only come in clear and brown - not very interesting, and definitely not the thing for special occasions!Meanwhile, I am so impatient for those hair ties to arrive! I've been using scrunchies almost exclusively for a few years now, and it will be nice to have some really safe options that are a little more secure.Laura Janelswanson@sunflower.bio.indiana.edu:) (wearing my contacts - see, no glasses on my smiley!)

I am trying to find things like that but I woud actually wear them.Diane

I like to browse antique stores, but the Internet is a fabulous tool for finding combs. You can do a search for antique jewelry. Many online shops have combs listed under "accessories" or "miscellaneous." One really great site that always has Victorian combs is "Gale's Gallery" (You should be able to find it if you do a search).By the way, I recently found THE piece de resistence for my collection: a legitimate tortoise shell comb from the late 1800's. My husband is making me a shadow box picture frame for me to display my goodies.Happy hunting!Jen

Let me know what you find! I have a photo on my bedroom wall of my great-grandmother wearing a beautiful hair comb... wish I knew where that one was! Anyway, I do have her silver brush and mirror, which I treasure. I guess that's what started my interest in hair combs.Take care!jen
