How to wear a headband

If you want to keep your hair out of your face or you just want to sport a headband as a cool fashion accessory, slipping one on is easy. These inexpensive hair accessories come in so many colors and styles, you can have one to match any outfit. Read on to learn how to wear a headband.

Things You'll Need

• Headband

Instructions

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

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.
