Why are there beaded strands on an Egyptian headband?

Beaded strands on an Egyptian headband refer to the braided wigs with beads and gold worn by women from the Egyptian elite. The upright cobra above the forehead was considered a sign of royal power in ancient Egypt and belonged to pharaohs and queens. With this band, the strands fall on either side along your own hair, so you get that braided effect even without a wig. If you are looking for a headpiece that frames your face, those long strands make all the difference compared to a narrow diadem that leaves the hair free.

Styling tips for the parade and the Egyptian party

In the carnival parade, the long strands sway with every step, so place the band straight on your head with the cobra head exactly in the middle of your forehead. The metallic blue and turquoise beads look best with a white or gold-colored dress. Draw your eye makeup with black eyeliner in a long line towards the temple, then the short beaded fringe will frame your eyes. For an evening at an Egyptian-themed party, complete the Egyptian women's outfit with a wide neck collar or gold bracelets.
