when it comes to fashion, we all know that there are some items that either never really go out of style or just come back from time to time. such is the case with hair bows. runway shows have featured bows in various ways, and social media pages have been filled with images of up-dos with delicate velvet ribbons or imposing bows. the romantic, girly look never goes away. it just takes on different forms. the pastel shades, the floral fabrics, ballet shoes and the lace are all small details of the same aesthetic.

we can go back as far as 2600 BC and find traces of hair ties, such as those on display at the metropolitan museum. or during the reign of louis XIV, when the fashion launched by the marquise de fontange (the king's mistress) became so extravagant that marie antoinette's hairdresser spent around 20,000 francs on hair bows. this wasn't even an exclusively feminine fashion, and until the 18th century it was quite common for noblemen to tie their hair up with a bow. in the 20th century it took on a certain feminine, innocent and delicate tone.

madonna took the hair bow trend in a different direction, pairing the accessory with her lace tops, stacks of bracelets and smudged eyes. this punk look gave the formerly feminine accessory a healthy sexy edge.
of course, placement, size, and material all play an important role in the final aesthetic. so just pick your style. it can cover up a bad hair day with a bold velvet bow. or a delicate ribbon for a halph down hair style.
