Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Headband
  1. Step 1

    Choose headband. While there are headbands in virtually every color, your headband doesn't have to exactly match your outfit. A neutral colored headband in black, brown, tan or tortoiseshell can go with just about anything.

  2. Step 2

    Slip headband on. The easiest headbands to wear simply slip on your head, but some styles have an elastic band that slips under your hair at the nape of your neck for added security.

  3. Step 3

    Wear bangs under the headband if you want them out of your face. This is useful when you're trying to grow your bangs out and need an option for keeping them out of the way.

  4. Step 4

    Wear bangs in front of the band if you prefer that look.

  5. Step 5

    Keep your hair loose behind the headband or pull it into a low ponytail. You can also style your hair into a casual up-do.

Tips & Warnings
  • Have fun with your headbands. These are hair accessories that can be functional as well as simply fashionable.
  • If a headband fits too tightly, choose another size. It shouldn't create impressions on your head or hurt you.
  • <br>Headbands are usually more casual items, so don't wear them with formal hairstyles or to formal events unless they have dressy embellishments on them like rhinestones.
