Hårbunt

Hårbunt is a Swedish term that translates to "hair bundle" or "tuft of hair." It refers to a collection of hair strands that are bound together, either naturally or artificially. In nature, hårbunt can describe the way hair grows on animals, forming distinct patches or areas of thicker fur. For humans, it might describe a natural tendency for hair to clump together due to its texture or oiliness.

More commonly, hårbunt is used in a crafting or decorative context. It can refer to small bunches of hair used for various purposes. Historically, and still today, hårbunt made from natural hair, such as human or animal hair, have been used in the creation of wigs, hairpieces, and extensions. These bundles are carefully prepared and attached to a base to mimic natural hair growth.

In other craft applications, smaller hårbunt might be used for doll hair, decorative elements in textiles, or even as part of artistic creations. The binding of the hair can be achieved through various methods, such as tying with thread, gluing, or weaving. The term emphasizes the collective nature of the hair strands rather than individual hairs. Whether referring to the natural growth pattern of fur or the deliberate construction of a hairpiece, hårbunt signifies a cohesive grouping of hair.
