All of Accented Glory's headband designs are adjustable, which gives you control over how tight your headband fits! This design is created with 12 cowrie shells; the number 12 represents completion and harmony. The string of cowrie shells is hand stitched to headband. The shell portrays a message of respect, honor, and inspiration. Care: Do not store or leave in high or low temperatures (ie. car, direct sunlight, dryer etc.) this can breakdown adhesives used to create the design. Gently hand wash with mild detergent and lay flat to dry; do not put in dryer.
