Tidal Hair Sticks Create an Elegant Low Hair Bun
While doing research for an upcoming blog about the origins of the single hair pin or "hair stick", I came across a lovely story.
Archeologists studying the Renaissance in Italy unearthed a beautiful gold hair stick baring interlocking C's belonging to Catherine de Medici. It was discovered down the palace toilet, meaning she probably lost it while doing her royal business.
Here is a pic:
