Middle Finger Scrunchie - Olive

There are a handful of anecdotal accounts suggesting that flipping the bird may have originated in ancient Rome. It is said that soldiers and gladiators used a similar gesture known as 'digitus impudicus' to insult adversaries or spectators.

During medieval times, particularly in France, the middle finger became a symbol of contempt and mockery, especially aimed at the English. It is said that the French would cut off the index and middle fingers of English longbowmen, rendering them incapable of drawing their bows. In retaliation, the English soldiers would raise their remaining fingers at the French, signaling their defiance and ability to still fight back despite the mutilation. This clever and rebellious gesture became a symbol of resistance and mockery, eventually evolving into the middle finger gesture we recognize today.

Today, the gesture continues to serve as a symbol of defiance, rebellion, and sometimes frustration. This subtle yet bold gesture, hidden discreetly in your hair, becomes the perfect statement piece at events you’d rather avoid, with people you'd rather not see. With a nod to history and a dash of irreverence, it lets you silently protest without uttering a word—because sometimes, your accessories speak louder than your words.
