How to Fix Your Hair With a Dual-Strand Headband

A dual-strand headband is a useful accessory.

Headbands are available in many varieties, making it easy for people to choose a favorite color or design. Dual-strand headbands are a popular choice as they work well with different hair textures. Often available in elastic or plastic, they are usually inexpensive and simple to use. Hair can be long, medium or short; any length is suitable for styling with one of these headbands.

Things You'll Need

• Brush
• Hair gel (optional)
• Dual-strand headband

Instructions

1. Style hair as desired.

2. Smooth hairline back with a brush. Gel may be used to help smooth hair if needed. If you have bangs and want them in front of the headband, don't smooth back the hairline.

3. Place the dual strand headband at the hairline and pull it back to your desired position. If you want your bangs in front of the headband, place it behind the bangs.

4. For elastic headbands that are circular in shape, pull it completely over your head and face.

5. Pull the headband up over your face and place it at your hairline. Pull it back to your desired position.

Tips & Warnings

• Use headbands to hold bangs out of the way if desired. This is helpful if you're growing out your bangs.

• Add clip-on accessories to your headbands like small flower or bows for additional decoration.

• Avoid plastic headbands with "teeth" if your hair is curly, as the teeth can catch on and pull your hair.
