hair ornament

Decorative hair accessory

A hair ornament is any decorative object worn in the hair—clips, combs, pins, barrettes, ribbons, flowers, or jeweled pieces.

Hair ornaments range from functional items that also hold hair in place to purely decorative additions: She wore a crystal hair ornament to the wedding.

The term is broad, covering everything from simple bobby pins with beads to elaborate tiaras.
