Charming snakes

The trend of the snake-inspired headpieces was first introduced by fashion house Valentino on one of its runway shows. The bold and sensuous accessory has been on the rise ever since. These gilding snakes, which sometimes even look lifelike, give a new meaning to elaborate headpieces that were once restricted to florals. If you’re thinking of standing out or making a statement, adding a reptile to your hairstyle is the way to go.

You can even take a cue from the beautiful ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra who was famous for her love for reptile-inspired accessories. Make sure you even dress like her — a pretty gown paired with excellent, bold accessory.

Carefully gather a few funky, fierce and even classy options to experiment. You can choose to go street-style and opt for snake headgears made of fancy threads or even bamboo. But if you are in the mood to flaunt, then turn to luxury and pile on your gold or silver headpieces that you can customise according to your preference, and also the size of your head.

These snake headpieces narrate a bold story and it is not for the faint-hearted. So choose wisely.
