Tools

• Since at least the third-to-fourth century, Asian culture has promoted specific hair-care tools. Animal horns, such as rhino, ox and sheep horns were used to make combs with purported healing properties. These combs were touted as having the ability to cure dandruff, headaches and even cool the body.
  
  

Ornaments

The use of hair ornaments varied among different cultures according to the political climate and connections of each historic period.
