Elaborately decorated cases were used to carry combs, hairpins, scissors, razors, tweezers, and bottles of lotions used to restore and strengthen hair. The Egyptian court of gods had a barber god, and wealthy people had personal barbers who came to their homes daily or were their personal attendants. A traveling barber set a stool under a tree to perform his services for poorer people.
    - - Shaven heads and smooth, hairfree bodies were signs of nobility in Egypt from about 3000 bc, but fashion required men and women to wear wigs of real hair or sheep’s wool. False beards, braided and curled, were popular with men. Indigo dyes were used to achieve the favored black color for wigs and beards; and henna, a powder made from the leaves of a shrub, gave hair, nails, and toes a red-orange cast. After 1150 bc wigs were dyed more fanciful colors such as red, green, and blue. The most popular styles were bluntly cut hair, which varied in length from the chin to below the shoulder and was usually worn with bangs on the forehead.

Jewelry served to protect people, according to Egyptian thought. The areas most in need of protection were the head, neck, arms, wrists, fingers, waist, and ankles. Thus hairpins, necklaces, armlets, bracelets, finger-rings, decorative girdles, and ankle bracelets all became popular as a means of protecting vulnerable areas. Unlike modern jewelers, who normally use casting to shape their products, Egyptian jewelers more often hammered sheet metal, then cut, shaped, crimped, and soldered it to make settings for stone

Egyptians often wore heavy blue or green eye shadow on their eyelids. Some of the minerals used to make this eye makeup may have helped prevent common eye infections. Women added henna dye to their fingernails and lips for color. Egyptian people also wore scents made from cinnamon, oil, and myrrh.
