They would get snips of different colors and create pictures by twisting and curling the hair into patterns usually flowers. My mom has one of the paintings. Hair jewelry has been around forever. It was used as an expression of remembrance, mourning, friendship and love. People carry a lock of a loved ones hair in a locket along with the person's photo for sentimental reasons. Some of it is beautiful. The hair was woven into really intricate designs. found this site about it: http://www.hairworksociety.org/ Remember the story Samson and Delilah?
