INTRODUCTION
Headbands are one of the easiest accessories to use for an instantly styled, effortless look, whilst keeping your hair out of your face. The greatest thing about headbands is that they can disguise thinning areas and also can make your hair look thicker. They don’t pull on your hair our cause the follicles any stress - so you can be confident your accessory is giving you all the style and none of the damage.
1. FABRIC HEADBANDS
Fabric headbands give you the look of a headscarf but have elastic encased within the fabric or the fabric is wrapped around a hard band, therefore easier to style. A great way to style this headband is to slip over an updo to hide thinning areas around the hairline. Fabric headbands are fantastic as they won’t pull or damage your hair. Top tip; use hairpins to secure the headband into place, for that extra hold and security.
