History of Hair Receivers
A hair receiver is a small decorative container that was commonly used during the Victorian and Edwardian eras to collect loose hair gathered fron hairbrushes and combs.
People would save hair in these containers and repurpose it for several uses:
1. Making Hair Rats - pads made of hair that women used to add volume to elaborate hairstyles like bouffants or other updos.
2. Crafting Hair Jewelry - hair was sometimes woven into jewelry such as lockets, bracelets, or mourning pieces as a sentimental keepsake
3. Stuffing Pincushions - it was believed that using hair help keep pins and needles from rusting
