History of Headdress
The headdress once served as a symbol of authority, power. For example, in Ancient Egypt only the pharaoh could carry big headdress made of a striped fabric, which the crown was put on. All others classes, except for slaves, were content with wigs from a vegetative fibre. Wealthier the person, the wig was bigger and ringlets were more magnificent.
In the Ancient Greece men, and women went with an uncovered head, only during travel would they put on a low round felt hat with fields (a swift-footed Hermes with such a hat on was represented as a god's envoy on the frescos and in sculptures). In the middle Ages men, and women wore capes and raincoats with hoods. Hoods had diversified forms. Sometimes the end of a hood was so long that hanged down below the waistline.
In Middle Ages headdresses become an ornament and a luxury goods. People decorated their headdresses with plumes (bunches of feathers), fur, tapes and jewellery.
Ladies and some men were wearing so called genin - high cone-shaped headdress. It is assumed, that genin was thought up by Isabella Bavarian and she had brought it into fashion in 1395. Only one hundred years later it had disappeared from secular clothes, but had not ceased to exist absolutely as masons began to wear it. The skeleton for princesses genin was 3 feet high (nearby 1), court had it up to 2 feet (about 60 cm). A skeleton was made of a firm paper or starched cloth and fitted silk or other expensive fabrics. The transparent veil went down from the back part of the genin. It often covered the person. All the beaten out hair was only the small triangle-in the middle of forehead. They were of such height, that sometimes it was necessary to cut through doors in addition. Even heads of the heretics sentenced to burning were crowned with a cap with sharp top from a cardboard on which tongues of a flame and demons were painted. Later genin has got the form of a half moon or two-angled.
From the East the fashion on turbans had come to Europe. Turbans have received wide circulation. They were carried both by men and by women. Persians named a turban a fabric, which tied a head. The Persians spread this headdress widely across the Islamic world.
In XVII and XVIII centuries the turban disappeared from European fashion and appears again only during a campaign of Napoleon to Egypt (a fashion an empire style) and once again during the Second World War.
In Central Asia turbans were not allowed to be worn by time workers and beggars, nevertheless all other men from approximately 5 years and on wore turbans. The turban could be as a smart dress headwear and as casual headdress also and it could easily be transformed to a belt.
In the Middle Ages in Europe the cap became available. At the beginning it was used for bathing and as a nightcap both by women and men. The man's cap could have a long top, which was hanging down on one side. Later, men refused to wear this headdress, and only llamas were wearing it up to the end of XIX century.
In XIV and XV centuries the French fashion dominated in Europe. Caps were long and sharp as cones. Men's caps had been entirely decorated by peacock feathers. At that time, felt hats made by Russian hand craftsmen used to be very popular.
Since old days, east Slavs of all social levels wore caps a little bit extending towards the top. Peasants had caps with a high crown narrowed up at the top made of felt. There were also low cut caps with round fur band and velvet or brocade crown, they were known as murmolki. Dandies and tsar's guards (streltsi) in XVII century wore caps with low fur band and the high upward pointed soft velvet crown.

Today's Top Black Weave Hairstyles
Fortunately for the women of today, gone are the days when they would have to endure having an odd and unnatural-looking contraption attached to their scalps in the form of a hair weave. The advancements in technology also brought about improvements in the many different services offered by stylists in salons so you can now let your personal style shine with today's top black hair weave hairstyles.
A Quick Look at What Weave Styles are All About
Before enumerating the styles that you can wear, let's first take a look at how weaves are incorporated into your strands and what their styling benefits are.
Basically, a hair weave (also known as an extension) is a treatment offered by stylists in salons which provide women (and men) with natural black hair the option of having longer, thicker hair - without having to actually wait for it to grow. As the name implies, there is a weaving process wherein either natural or human hair will be incorporated into your own natural locks and it is attached quite close to the scalp.
Now, there are different types of black hair weaves that you can choose from. There are styles which can cover your entire scalp. If you have shoulder-length black hair, for example, you can have a hair weave so that you will instantly have hair that reaches all the way down to your waist.
For black women who do not like the natural texture of their hair, having weaves and extensions incorporated into their locks is a great way to get an instant makeover.
The Hottest Black Hair Weave Styles of Today
So what are the today's hottest black hair weave styles that you can try? Take a look at some instant makeover hair styles that you can ask your stylist to create for you:
Long and Curly
Whether she's mingling with the audience or judging models on her two shows, you will often see Tyra Banks wearing long, curly black weave hair styles which just look absolutely gorgeous on her. You can go for Tyra Banks' long and luxurious locks look by having a long and curly black weave incorporated into your natural hair.
Natural Black Weaves
If you're attending a formal event, going for a natural black weave hair style is the best way to go. An example of this is a kinky afro weave for that natural-looking hair that's fun and ultra-glam!
Cascading
Those who would like to sport the romantic hairstyles of eras gone by will make a dramatic entrance by wearing cascading weaves hair styles.
Short and Sexy
If you want to have a hair style that is low-maintenance, sleek and sexy, have your stylist create a short weave for you.
Add a splash of color to your Weaves!
Finally, no hottest black hair weave styles list will ever be complete without having a splash of color to your hair. You can either ask your stylist to add a weave which matches the current length of your hair in contrasting or blending colors.
All in all, having a hair weave is a great way to improve the texture, add some length, color and a whole lotta style to your natural hair - so this is something that you should definitely go for!

Costume Ideas For an ABC Party - Where Anything But Clothes - Goes
If you are looking to get everyone to come to your costume party dressed up, here is one sure-fire way to make it happen. Throw an ABC Party. ABC stands for anything but clothes. See, the trouble with many costume parties these days is that the theme is often very restrictive and many people just choose not to attend because they don't have a costume in the designated theme. It can be a bit tougher to get a good turnout at your party with such limited options for the party-goers. The solution is an ABC Party.
Imagine getting invited to an Anything But Clothes Costume Party! The costume ideas are endless, if you walk into your garage, you can find duct tape, toolbets, boogie boards, cardboard, paint and the list goes on. I personally think a costume made entirely of duct tape would win best costume for the garage category.
For those that have a costume box - score! - anything in it will be superb! You might have a prom queen sash, a chicken mask, a Sombrero, and a cool pair of stilleto boots. All of these would be totally and completely acceptable and expected at an ABC Party. The beauty of an ABC party is that it leaves so much to the imagination of the person dressing up. You can be just about anything and it gives the party-goer so much room for creativity.
Another idea would be to use a covering of liquid latex, then add a splash of glow in the dark body paint, throw on a costume wig, a pair of costume shades and a wacky hat. Who really knows what you are, but then again, who really cares - it's an ABC Party afterall.
More fun ideas for your next ABC Party now that you are properly pumped about the idea:
- Saran wrap - One roll should suffice
- Postage stamps - Kinda pricey, I know... but you'd be unique for sure!
- Stickers of any kind - You know you have a collection of them from your childhood, put them to good use!
- Bandaids - Everyone has these in their bathroom medicine cabinet
- Gauze - Maybe a boring and uncreative one - but think mummy... or sexy mummy?
- Cotton balls - Think stay puff marshmallow man
- Foliage - fake or real - How about Adam and Eve
- Tar and feathers - This is only for the committed ABC Party Attendee
- Tin Foil - Sexy Tin Girl or Tin Man!
- Surfboard bag - not sure how you'd make your face pointy to be the fin - perhaps a bit of cardboard also and poke some holes for the eyes.
There you have it. A number of fantastic ideas for the times we live in. Remember that the Costume Party MUST go on! To get the most creativity and individualism out of your party-goers, keep the party theme wide open and throw an ABC Costume Party this weekend. Anything But Clothes, goes.
