An Alice band is either a flexible horse-shoe shaped garment or a loop of elastic material which is designed to fit over the head and hold long hair away from the face, but let it hang freely at the back. ==History of the Alice band== The Alice band is said to have originated in the period around 1865, following the publication of Lewis Carroll's novels ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' and ''Through the Looking Glass''. In these novels Alice is sometimes shown wearing a ribbon to keep her long hair away from her face. The Alice band has had periods of popularity in adult fashion, most recently in the late 20th century, when velvet versions were popular among Sloane Rangers in the UK.〔 The Alice band used to be an almost universally female item of clothing, but recently has gained popularity amongst men in some countries, owing to a fashion for long hair. The use of Alice bands by men was possibly first made popular by David Beckham and Ronnie O'Sullivan. In the United States an Alice band is known as a head band or "headband". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alice band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
