In ancient times, people used hair to decorate themselves.

They would braid their hair and then use hairpins to secure it in place.

These hairpins were often made of metal and adorned with gemstones and beads.

Not only were they beautiful, but they also held symbolic meanings.

For example, red hairpins represented passion and love, while blue hairpins symbolized loyalty and faith.

Hairpins also became a fashion element and were widely used in clothing and accessories.
