Need help naming hair accessory.

[RepresentingWrath]

I need some help naming this thing. I've seen this hair accessory used in manhwas and art related to Chinese martial cultivators novels, and you might've seen it there as well. I tried to google the name of this hair accessory but couldn't find anything. These images are not of the best qualities. But as I don't know the name of this accessory, I can't find better ones.

Uh... Uh... Metal scrunchie... Uh, Headband? No...

I would just call it a metal band around their hair. Throw a few descriptions to define the color and what it's made of. Then call it a day. Otherwise, I do not know how that is named either. Does it even have a name?

1 and 3 are hair cuffs I think

Well, it's not a band, maybe this thing looks like a band in these pictures, but a few others, which I couldn't find, depicted this thing as a solid piece. As for the name, I don't know. That's why I'm asking in the first place.

I googled it, and I think you are right. Thank you for helping.

c: Well, I tried but failed. But Blob has saved us! All glory!

It depends on how it is affixed to the hair more than anything else. 1 and 3 could be "hair clips" while the middle one could be a "hair tie."
"Hair cuff" seems like the best description overall, though. Perhaps "hair ring" if it is made of metal.

The Sisters of Silence and Yvraine seem to be hair cuffs as mentioned above. Very elaborate in case of Yvraine.

Now for Abaddon, his topknot seems to be kept in place by simple leather straps wrapped around it. The model has small spikes sticking between the layers, so maybe there is a metal frame inside there, otherwise the thing should not be able to stay upright, especially in the version with the skull claps on top. I don't think this case has a proper name though, and it may just be another hair cuff.

If referring to hairstyle in some CN novels like ancient setting, can't really find the right word thu closest thing on google search is maybe a hair top-knot. Maybe called the guan? Not sure.

Not sure how accurate it is but maybe some more depth into the hairstyle you're looking for.
