If you go back even further in old hair magazines, you'll see tendrils extending back even further in time.

Tendrils are created due to a number of hair happenings and perceived styling benefits.

Wikipedia defines a tendril not as loose side strands extending from the hairline or fringe, but as a specialized stem, leaf or petiole with a threadlike shape.

Tendrils can be formed by modified shoots, leaves or auxiliary branches.

In the plant world, tendrils are used by climbing plants for support and attachment.

Depending upon how thick they are, tendrils can take on a threadlike shape similar to plants.
