Apparently, I can't resist vintage hair combs. I love doing my hair and adding hair combs to finish the look. These are another Etsy find, from early 20th century. I noticed them because they are made from fake tortoiseshell which is one of my favourite materials.
Elegant vintage hair combs like these look good with any updo. I wore them couple of days ago with 1930s inspired hairstyle and a simple outfit (white shirt and black pants) and I love the way it all looked.
These were probably used to hold the hair in place and not for decorative purposes but I use them for decoration.
You should post a picture of them in your hair, I would love to see it!

I will! Thanks for the suggestion.
