Headband Tips
1. Choose a simple headband with great details for a day at the office.
A sleek black headband with a few jewels or other decorative features can help create a polished, professional look.
2. Use hair products to make headband styling easy.
Spritz a little hairspray or styling gel into your hair and comb through with your fingers. By adding just a little bit of texture to your hair, the headband will grip better and hold the style much longer.
3. Don't be afraid to try out a bolder headband design.
In the photo above, actress Leighton Meester demonstrates that even a dramatic headband can be stylish. Look for a headband that accentuates your outfit. If there is a lot going on with your outfit, consider selecting a headband that is the same color as your clothing in order to avoid having the two complete for visual attention.
4. Add a headband to a formal updo for an elegant and sexy style.
In the photo above, actress Drew Barrymore demonstrates how a simple headband can create visual interest in a formal hairstyle. For a special event, such as a wedding or prom, pick a headband than incorporates feminine touches such as glittering gems or delicate flowers.
5. Let your bangs down.
If you have fringe, consider separating it from the rest of your hair before placing the headband. Style your fringe as your usually would for a great variation on your daily style.
