Accessories in the Elizabethan era were very big, as for the women the more you show off the better. Hair accessories were a big part too, like ribbons, gems and jewels, feathers and anything else that they could put in their hair to show off their wealth and status.

You can easily add a ribbon to plaits and twists within a hair design you just simply tie it to the top of the plait or hair twist you wish to use and incorporate it into the design, if its a plait add it to one of the sections of hair, the twist you just twist it in and so forth, this adds an extra pop of colour and dimension to a hair design and gives it a nice finish.
Jewels

A lot of victorian women wore jewels in their hair, mainly pearls. Pearls were a sign of purity and they were easy to clip into the hair. Nowadays you can get pearls on pins, clips, slides, everything that can make it easier for you to use. You can also use old necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Little diamonds and crystals were also stuck into the hair, rubies and other gemstones were also used too.
