Whats the meaning of the word Cafune?

The word Cafune is a Portuguese verb that means “the act of running your fingers through your lovers hair”. It’s a very special word and it doesn’t have a translation in any other language.

Will I get a headache from wearing the pieces?

The classic cafes are made on a very flexible base, which does not exert any kind of pressure on the mastoid area, which is just behind the ears and where traditionally the narrowest part of the headbands rests. Their light weight makes them a very good option for those looking for a comfortable accessory to wear all day. However, depending on the model, we will use wider structures that can carry the weight of larger ornaments. These can be more adjusting and depending on the sensitivity to pressure of each person, can cause discomfort if used for long periods of time.</spanZ

Are there sizes for headbands?

The structures used are standard sizes that can be worn by children and adults due to their flexibility. For vines and other pieces that do not require a base, the length can be agreed upon or suggested depending on the type of hairstyle or personal preference.
