What is the history of Chinese hair accessories?
Hair accessories in China are more than just fashion—they're cultural artifacts, symbols of status, and expressions of beauty dating back thousands of years.
Chinese hair accessories have a long history rooted in dynastic traditions, where hairpins, combs, and headpieces reflected social class, marital status, and artistic craftsmanship.
Where did Chinese hair ornament culture begin?
As early as the Han Dynasty, women used hairpins made of jade, bone, and bronze. During the Tang and Song periods, ornate designs flourished—think phoenix-shaped pins and floral gold combs. Men also wore hairbands and pins to denote scholarly rank.
We take inspiration from these styles in modern production. For example, our “Hanfu Hairpin Series” features:
- Carved resin mimicking ancient jade
- Gold-plated accents inspired by Tang motifs
- Packaging based on traditional silk scrolls
This blend of history and modernity is especially popular among Chinese diaspora and cosplay enthusiasts worldwide.
What role does history play in today’s product design?
Brands often tap into traditional Chinese aesthetics to create storytelling products. We help them by:
- Custom-molding vintage shapes
- Printing traditional patterns on fabric headbands
- Developing gift boxes with cultural themes
Modern meets meaningful—that’s what works.
What type of plastic are hair clips made of?
Durability, color, texture, and eco-friendliness all start with one choice: plastic material.
Most hair clips are made from plastics like acrylic, polycarbonate (PC), acetate, or resin—each offering different textures, costs, and sustainability levels.
What are the most common materials used?
At HairAcc, we produce claw clips using:
| Material | Features | Price Level | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acetate | Durable, glossy, premium feel | High | Luxury clips |
| Resin | Malleable, color-rich | Medium | Fashion clips |
| Polycarbonate | Heat-resistant, tough | Medium | Functional clips |
| Recycled Plastic | Sustainable, cost-efficient | Medium | Eco-friendly lines |
We also offer glitter-infused, marble-texture, and translucent finishes for added style.
What plastic works best for private label?
- Acetate: For upscale branding—heavyweight and smooth
- Resin: Best for fast-fashion brands—cost-effective, quick molding
- PC: Ideal for sports clips—high grip, high impact resistance
- TPE + recycled plastic: For eco-conscious brands
We help buyers test finishes before they commit—sending multiple material samples per style.
What is the name of the Chinese hair stick?
Hair sticks aren’t just accessories—they’re a symbol of elegance and cultural pride.
The traditional Chinese hair stick is called a "簪子" (zān zi), used historically by women to secure hair buns and decorated to reflect age, status, or occasion.
What makes the "zanzi" special?
In ancient China, receiving a hair stick was part of a coming-of-age ceremony. Designs ranged from simple wood to elaborate jade, ivory, or silver styles.
Today, our "modern zanzi" collection features:
- Carved wood or bamboo bases
- Gold foil inlay or floral resin tops
- Gift packaging with poetry inscriptions
They're especially popular for:
- Hanfu fashion
- Bridal wear
- Museum gift shops
Can we customize hair sticks for global markets?
Yes. We offer:
- Custom wood carving (laser and hand)
- Resin imitation jade
- Silk tassels or pearl drops
- Laser-engraved branding for museums or boutiques
With MOQ starting at just 200 pairs, they’re perfect for souvenir, cultural, and niche fashion stores.
