How to Fix Hair With a Dual Strand Headband

A headband is a practical accessory that allows you to keep the hair out of your face without sacrificing style. As women continue to seek creative accessories and styles, thin dual-strand headbands have upstaged the classic wide headband design. Made of either elastic materials or plastic, dual-strand headbands come in many styles, enabling you to create different hairstyles that emphasize the hair's length, bangs or volume.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Dual-strand headband Hairbrush Fine-tooth comb

1. Brush hair to remove any knots and tangles.

2. Position the headband approximately an inch away from the beginning of your hairline. If you are using a plastic dual-strand headband, simply slide it through your hair. If using an elastic dual-strand accessory, use your hands to stretch it out before fitting it around your head

3. Use a fine-tooth comb to tease the hair that is behind the headband if you wish to create additional volume at the crown of your head.

4. Put the portion of hair that is located behind the headband into a ponytail or bun if you do not want to leave it loose.

5. Use the comb to arrange your bangs if you wish to show them. Use a gently downward pulling motion to remove the bangs from under the strands of the headband. Finish by arranging them either toward one side of your forehead or evenly across.

Tips & Warnings

• Before putting on the headband, spritz fine hair with a root-lifting spray, and blow it dry to help the hair hold volume.
