Well since my computer dictionary could not find a definition, I am thinking that the word "broidered" sounds like the word embroidery which wiki defines as:
Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as metal strips, pearls, beads, quills, and sequins. Embroidery is most often recommended for caps, hats, coats, blankets, dress shirts, denim, stockings, and golf shirts. Embroidery is available with a wide variety of thread or yarn colour.
So I am guessing that the women of that day 'embroidered' things in their hair as they plaited or braided into elaborate hairstyles.
I don't see much difference between putting oatmeal boxes, ribbons, flowers and other such things in today's women's hair today, as them weaving in gold or silver wires and such things in the ancient days. Women always sought to look attractive to men.
I have a pentecostal friend who will not cut her hair. We agree to disagree and we have gotten along great for many years. One night we all fellowshipped at a restaurant and she arrived with a wig on. I thought she had cut and permed her hair and I complimented on how nice she looked. She said.."It's a wig. I bought this wig because my hair is breaking off and I want to look nice". She wore her wig to a visit to Memphis with me and on the way home we were going to stop at a hometown store to buy some health food products. She took her wig off. I asked her why? She said that she did not want to lose her witness.
