Headbands and foreheadbands are coming back into style. While wearing a headband may seem easy enough, many people have questions about what to wear one with or appropriate times. Using this guide you can be sure you look good in your headband.

1. Decide what type of headband you want to wear. Generally, headbands over the hair create a dressier or more sophisticated look. Slender headbands worn across the forehead are more appropriate for every day wear.

2. Headbands worn over the hair look great with almost everything. Matching them with your outfit can add an extra pop to your hair when you're having a good hair day. Contrastingly, if you're having a bad hair day, a headband can help tame your hair by holding it down. Use a wider headband for more control. Black headbands generally go with everything. Paired with an evening dress, a headband can create a more innocent or sophisticated look.

3. Slender headbands are becoming very in style recently. They can be great when jogging or exercising to keep loose hair out of your face. This can be better controlled when paired with a ponytail.
   Many women and men are beginning to wear elastic headbands across their foreheads as a fashion statement. This especially looks good with the more Bohemian style, including tight pants with a baggy top.
   This style of headband works best with every day clothing or a day out shopping when your hair might be a mess.

Tips & Warnings
