How to Wear Large Headbands
Almost any type or length of hair can wear a headband. Women usually wear large headbands, rather than men. Large headbands work well for holding back bangs. They can also sit on top of the hair and act as an accent. Large headbands come in various colors, patterns and textures. You can use a cloth-covered headband or a hard plastic one. Headbands accent hairstyles and help hold the style into place. Does this Spark an idea?
