Step 1
Get control of your hair. Use a smoothing serum or hair cream to tame frizzy hair or flyaways. Because a multi-elastic headband has several bands, it's easy to get hair caught in between them. Use a cream to control your mane and use a wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute product to ensure hair doesn't tangle.

Step 2
Choose a headband that works with your lifestyle. A simple version with neutral colors will work for every day occasions, while metallic shades like gold and silver look good for special events or evenings out. Multi-elastic headbands are found at many price points, so check the drugstore, department stores and online stores for options.

Step 3
When wearing a multi-elastic headband at the office, keep hair sleek. If you're having a bad hair day, or simply don't have time to style your hair, a multi-elastic headband adds pizazz with little effort. Another option is to wear the multi-elastic headband and pin up the rest of your hair in a bun for a classic look. Good multi-elastic headbands for the office include neutral colors, soft shades of metallic, and subtle tortoise or leopard prints.

Step 4
Go wild with hair at night. If you want to wear hair curly with a multi-elastic headband, keep the roots of your hair sleek. Apply styling cream (see step 1), and go wild after the headband is on. After the multi-elastic headband is securely on your head, tease your hair or touch up any curls with a curling iron. This is a fun look for going out at night, or for embracing the humidity on a beach vacation. Because the look is more fashion forward, feel free to experiment with bright colors and textured multi-elastic headbands.

Step 5
Put your multi-elastic headband to work at the gym. Multi-elastic headbands are fantastic to wear while working up a sweat. They keep hair up and away from the forehead, preventing your hair from mixing with sweat, which can cause blemishes. After putting on the headband, place hair in a ponytail or bun to keep hair off the neck. Tote some hair cream with you, and pin up your hair again post-shower if you have errands to run after the gym. Multi-elastic headbands look great with casual outfits such as a sun dress or a t-shirt and yoga pants.
