Abstract This article explores the meanings of hair jewellery in Victorian Britain as a bodily fragment that could be braided or woven into an artifact of affection, a material for memory, and most vital of all, a popular ornamental object of fashionable consumption. Special attention will be paid to how the wearing and making of hair jewellery among women became a widespread fad as represented in manuals, pattern books, and periodical literature. These publications facilitate an investigation of the performance of female identity and self-display in connection with the culture and tradition of handicrafts. They reveal an important aspect of Victorian ladies’ modes of possession, as shown in their use of hair artifacts as decorative items to adorn their bodies. I argue that practices of fancy hair-work were productive and creative within the ideology of domesticity, equipping women for modern living and marking their engagement with commodity culture, including professional hair-work services. The art of working in hair plays a crucial role in the making of tangible and sensory memories objectified and personalized in everyday lives.

头发的艺术：维多利亚时代英国的发饰和装饰手工艺品

摘要 本文探讨了发饰在维多利亚时代的英国作为身体碎片的意义，它可以编织或编织成情感的人工制品、记忆的材料，最重要的是，它是时尚消费的流行装饰品。将特别关注女性佩戴和制作发饰如何成为一种普遍的时尚，如手册、图案书籍和期刊文献中所代表。这些出版物有助于调查与手工艺文化和传统相关的女性身份和自我展示的表现。它们揭示了维多利亚时代女性占有方式的一个重要方面，如她们使用发饰作为装饰品来装饰她们的身体。我认为，在家庭生活的意识形态中，花哨的美发实践是富有成效和创造性的，使女性适应现代生活，并标志着她们与商品文化的接触，包括专业的美发服务。头发的艺术在日常生活中客观化和个性化的有形和感官记忆中起着至关重要的作用。
