The headband is back. Narrow, broad, elastic, scarf-like, patent, plastic, patterned, jeweled or animal print – the choice is yours if you have the head of hair that suits this look. It seems to work best on women with long thick hair, either curly or straight.
Headbands can be chic if worn a certain way. The trick is to keep your hair looking crisp, neat and in place when you wear them. Headbands won’t look elegant if your hair looks straggly, flat and unkempt. By all means sport the look if you have short hair, but you might find that a dainty style will work better.
Remember that less in more when you wear a headband. Leave off the earrings, specs and necklace and make a stylish statement with one bold accessory at a time.

I love the headband look. I wear my hair up a lot of time, I have an infant who pulls on it when it is down!), so I will put headbands in to make it look better than just a ponytail that is just thrown in!!

That’s a superbly practical and stylish idea!

What do you think of women/girls who wear headbands and have a really really really high forehead?

I’ve struggled trying to find some simple, but elegant headbands. Something that would mesh well with dress slacks and jeans. My biggest problem is that most of the headbands I buy are either too plain looking or — over the top gaudy! I’ve been on a quest to find some that look classy enough to wear to a formal dinner — and also for a typical shopping day at the mall.
I’d like to report that http://www.Nordsrtom.com has some great styles (but a bit expensive – close to $90 for some). If you are looking for a great alternative (and priced well) I would try http://www.Pinkpewter.com Originals. Some great styles from a new brand that is really making a splash in the hair accessories market. I saw them at a high end salon near where I live and they were hot — had to buy one (I bought “Debbie”)….
Anyway – hope this helps!

The headband has made a strong comeback I must say! I like the animal print because you can just wear a solid colored shirt and the headband pulls it all together for a more sophisticated look and keeping your hair out of your face, all at the same time! It’s such an adorable affordable look that anyone can pull off. Check out http://www.vanityhome.com for some really trendy headbands and other accessories!

I’m borderline obsessed with headbands, but a lot of the styles/designers that I like create headbands that are very pricey… I recently discovered the wonders of Etsy, which has a lot of designers selling a ton of great headbands at much more reasonable prices. One of my favorites is http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7032911.
Happy headband shopping!

For me, wearing those kinds of headband is really cool. It makes me feel that I’m in a jungle because of its tiger skin style. Actually, I always wear headband to keep my hair in place. I like the styles of those headbands.
