Hair Combs ~ Hair Pins

The earliest use of the comb can be traced to as far back as 5,000 years ago. Primitive versions of the comb have been found throughout history by archaeologists. As early as 5500 B.C. the ancient Egyptians carved out combs among other remnants of the emerging cultures. In ancient China, combs were worn as hair accessories that reflected one's social status. Over time, combs have evolved into more efficient tools for hair maintenance and hair care.
