hair ornaments

Jewelry for locks

Hair ornaments are decorative items worn in the hair—clips, combs, pins, barrettes, ribbons, flowers, jeweled pieces, and similar accessories.

They range from functional items that also hold hair in place to purely ornamental pieces meant to adorn: She wore pearl hair ornaments for the wedding.

The term encompasses both everyday accessories and elaborate ceremonial pieces.
