India, March 15 -- Fashion has always loved a little adornment. While jewellery traditionally highlights ears, necklines and wrists, hair has mostly stuck to clips, scrunchies and barrettes for decoration. Hair piercing changes that idea in a subtle but striking way. Instead of sitting on top of a hairstyle, tiny metal rings or cuffs are threaded directly through sections of hair, almost like jewellery for your strands. Celebrities like actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas and BLACKPINK'S Lisa have already experimented with the look, wearing delicate rings woven into their hairstyles. The trend has also appeared on the runway. At the Chloe Fall/Winter show, models walked with braids decorated with tiny rings. Hair jewellery itself is nothing new. "Across many cultures, braids and locks have long been decorated with beads, shells, and metal ornaments. These pieces often carried cultural meaning while also serving as decoration. What feels modern about hair piercing is the way stylists are approaching it now," says hairstylist Aalim Hakim. Instead of large decorative pieces, the jewellery is tiny and intentionally placed: "When a ring sits inside a braid or along a parting, it highlights the lines that exist in the hairstyle. It becomes part of the look instead of something extra." The jewellery used is usually lightweight metal rings or cuffs that open slightly. These can be slipped onto sections of braided or twisted hair without pulling or tugging on the strands. The method is fairly safe when done properly, as it is attached to the hair and not the scalp. While stylists have experimented with rings along ponytails or centre partings, braids remain the easiest base for hair piercing. Braids give the jewellery something to grip, helping the rings stay in place without slipping. Hairstylist Anusha Shetty says most stylists add the rings after the braid is complete. "The braid holds the jewellery in position," she explains, adding, "You can choose exactly where you want the ring." Placement can completely change the feel of the hairstyle. A ring near the temple can frame the face, while one further down the braid adds a subtle flash of shine as the hair moves. Many stylists also prefer to keep the look minimal. "It feels more refined when the placement is thoughtful. The jewellery becomes a detail rather than the whole focus," she adds....
