The History of Hair Bows

Hair bows became popular during the Victorian Era (ruled by Queen Victoria, 1837-1901) and the Edwardian Era (ruled by King Edward VII, 1901-1910). The Victorian woman seldom wore a bow in her hair but if she did, it was usually black or another modest color, and small in size. The Edwardian Era was more fanciful and a woman would wear bows of different colors and sizes, some being quite large compared to today's bows. During this Era, many upperclass women and little girls wore hair bows as fashion accessories (see the photo to the left).

Popularity of Hair Bows

A hair clip is used to keep hair off your face. Add a bow, and it becomes a fashion accessory! Bows certainly haven't gone out of style, and today the variety of colors, sizes and styles means there is always a bow that's just right for you. See our page with fabulous flower hair clips too.

The Theory of Stress Relief

Get your Stress Relievers at AlyssasCloset.com

Stress occurs when someone is in an unpleasant environment. The "fight or flight response" kicks in, and there is an increase of adrenaline and cortisol, both considered stress hormones. This causes an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, resulting in anxiety, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, disturbances in memory and concentration, and mood disorders such as outbursts of anger.

How Do These Things Work?

While stress relief balls are used by many, not much research has been done on their effectiveness. However, squeezing a stress relief ball (or an edamame stress pea pod) diverts attention away from the stressor, and the body and mind are both able to relax, much as in meditation. Mental energy dissipates, there is an improvement in blood circulation which helps to provide more nutrients like oxygen, and the nerves in the hands are stimulated, as in accupressure. These nerves carry signals to the brain's limbic system, which is linked with emotions. Stimulation of the brain also produces endorphins (associated with runner's high) which are natural pain relievers and sedatives.
