HEADBANDS ARE PERFECT LOW-MAINTENANCE WAY TO UPGRADE A STYLE...

they can even help correct a bad hair day ~ 
but sometimes they can look daggy ~ or even worse, give you a headache.

So here's a little headband help...

* Consider your face shape. If you have a small face and fine features, a big floral number is going to overwhelm you. Go for a simple, thin headband. If you have a full face and prominent features, choose a thicker band. It's all about proportion.

* Hairbands are like jeans: Stretch helps. Not only does elastic keep a smooth, sleek shape, it's also more comfortable.

* Stay far, far away from molded plastic. Even though they may look sleek and mod, you'll have a headache after a few hours.

* Treat headbands like jewellery. Once you start adding earrings, a necklace, a bracelet, and so on, it's a hot mess. Keep your other accessories to a minimum.
