I occasionally find a molded headband that fits me and doesn't give me a headache, but it's pretty rare. Mostly I stick with elastic ones for working out or those stretchy comb ones when necessary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764405 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 01:49:39 +0000 JR 764405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Headbands were big in the 80s and I tried to wear them. Big headaches for me too. I decided it just wasn't worth it. The stretchy ones never seemed to stay in place, and didn't suit me anyway. Ditto for ribbons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764371 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 01:12:23 +0000 Aziraphale 764371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't even know they made women's versions of headbands! Where I live, they are mostly worn by girls. But even my eight-year-old daughter finds them uncomfortably tight, although it must be said that she has an especially gigantic noggin. (Look at the HEID on that kid! It's got its own weather system!). </p> <p>I think some people must be more sensitive to pressure against the sides of their heads than others. I remember wearing them as a child, and they were always super uncomfortable and I'd take them off halfway through the day. And leave them at school somewhere, probably. Eventually my mother gave up and stuck with braids and ponytails. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764364 Sat, 03 Nov 2012 01:06:53 +0000 lynne 764364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gave up on them because they camped into my head and gave me headaches. The stretchy one seem to sort of roll off the back. I must have an odd shaped head. I use a rolled bandana or scarf instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764107 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 20:31:08 +0000 Victoria 764107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>anyone try using ribbons as headbands? Just curious </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764104 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 20:26:25 +0000 K. Period. 764104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this problem a lot. I've been able to find some that work, mostly at JCrew (which has surprisingly great hair accessories) and Nordstrom. Even with those, they sometimes start out tight and throughout the day they warm up and stretch so that they are too loose! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764078 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 20:05:08 +0000 Diana 764078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gave up on headbands a long time ago because every single one (except for the stretchy fabric ones, which are really only good for working out) gave me a massive headache. Plus they fight with the legs of my glasses and everything goes askew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764076 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 20:04:34 +0000 rae 764076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! I have trouble with all headwear being too small. Me and my giant head. At least in hats you can buy mens' versions, but headbands are another thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764074 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 20:03:16 +0000 Anonymous 764074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not alone.

And they push my hair around in funny ways. Yet I love them... I have to do ribbons that tie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764040 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:12:37 +0000 Mo 764040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the opposite trouble - not tight enough. Maybe find a malleable metal one you can bend to the right shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-else-has-trouble-finding-headbands-that-fit#post-764034 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:06:21 +0000 Victoria 764034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i would have loved to wear headbands but it seems like every time I try one, they are always too tight and give me a headache. Am I the only one who has this problem? Is my head too big?:)<br /> By the way I tried the stretchy kind and they usually supertight as well </p>
