Headbands for the Headband-Challenged

I like the idea of wearing a headband. They can be really cute and trendy and an easy way to dress up a hairdo. (Or glam up an otherwise, you know, bad hair day.)

I mean, how gorgeous are these?!

Target also has some really darling ones, several currently in their jewelry department. (Like this and this.)

Problem is, my head isn’t shaped so perfectly round and they end up just looking silly on me, especially the wider ones. Sits up too tall, or something.

When shopping recently, however, I spotted this little number:

The top pattern:

It’s a completely flexible, soft plastic headband that only looks like a hard plastic traditional one. It’s extremely comfortable to wear and stays in place, from Goody.

And it conforms to whatever shape your head is. My problem solved!

What it looks like on:

Do you ever wear headbands? What’s your favorite kind?

  1. I love the idea of headbands, but they always give me a headache.

  2. I don’t wear headbands with my curly hair, but my girls do. The flexible bands like yours are the best, and they don’t cause headaches!
