The Native American headband with 2 feathers is a black band with a turquoise and orange pattern, on which two white feathers with dark tips stand upright. During carnival, it completes a Native American costume for women, and at a themed party, the adornment is also instantly recognizable from afar. The feathers are positioned on the side of the head, so your face remains unobstructed and the band runs tightly across the forehead.

Where does the image of the Native American with feathers in the headband come from?
The costume image of the Native American with feathers comes largely from western films and comics, in which the figure almost always wears a band around the head with one or more feathers. Among various North American peoples, feathers had a meaning as a tribute, and the large feather adornment that falls over the back was reserved for important men. A Native American headband with two feathers is the lighter version of that image. It is recognizable from a distance, without the bulk of a full adornment.
How to make the Native American look around the headband recognizable
A brown dress with fringes and a necklace of elongated beads immediately completes the image of the Native American woman, just like a fake tomahawk in hand. If you have long hair yourself, let it fall loose under the band, then the feathers will remain the highest point of your silhouette. If you want a stricter western look, choose a dark wig with braids and draw a wide line across the eyes with black face paint.
