I mentioned in this post that I have been after a hair comb to complement my updo's. After much consideration, I finally settled on a dainty silver Victorian one, which will be shown in my next outfit post. I thought it best to start off small and see how it goes before diving in with a massive expensive one. My next one will be a slightly larger affair, hopefully in a green celluloid. Whilst I was searching for the perfect beginners hair comb, I found so many beautiful and unusual examples I just had to share them on here. There really are so many good quality combs available out there on the internet, and at reasonable prices. This may look like a large post, but I actually had to restrain myself from posting 3x more!

No, no no.
I found haircombs couple of weeks ago when my hair got so long (not that long) that I had to do something for it. And there they were. I thought they would look more interesting than normal hair pins. So now I have couple but NOTHING so pretty. Ok, I think those wouldn't work the way I use mine but when my hair is bit more longer, maybe maybe.
thatks a lot for showing these beauties.
