Hairpins, like combs, can be both functional – used to hold
the hair in place – and decorative. Hairpins can be used to
fix a range of different hairstyles, including plaits, buns, and
topknots. This hairpin from India is believed to have been used
either for removing knots from the hair, or for drying the hair.
