A headband is a multi-purpose and fashionable accessory that can give new life to your hairstyle in a second. They can be combined with anything one wants to wear, which makes them great for any situation. It doesn’t matter if you want to tame your hair quickly or if you want to have a dramatic look for a special event; the headband style is perfect for you.
Here are 9 some of inspiring ideas to make your hairstyle creative
- Messy Side Braid: Express your inner cool girl by combining a messy side braid with a statement headband. This easy-going and just a few-minute look works for any hair length and is perfect for you. First of all, you can sweep your hair to one side and braid it loosely from the nape of the neck. Loosen your braid with your fingers to create the right messy texture. To add some personality, try a headband with a bright pattern or other interesting details.
- Sleek Ponytail with a Twist: Upgrade your regular ponytail to a headband style! To achieve a refined appearance, opt for a thin, metallic headband and comb your hair into a straight position for maximum sleekness. Feeling bolder? Wide, bedazzled ones can be a great option to add some extra kick to your look. Try incorporating various textures, which can bring a unique spin. Go for a sleek wet-look ponytail for a modern and chic look, or backcomb your ponytail at the roots before securing it with an elastic band for volume and texture.
- Top Knot Transformation: Different styles of braids together with the headband can also dress up or dress down your outfit. Use a headband to dress your usual top knot from casual to stylish. A chunky, adorned headband gives a glam feel for a party, while a plain, cotton band is perfect for a day spent at the park. Utilize different color headbands to go with your attire or mood.
- Boho Updo for the Free Spirit: Embrace your inner bohemian divinity with a messy updo embellished with a fabric or beaded headband. This style is great for you if you want to add character and depth to your style. First off, put on the headband and fasten it. To start off, grab pieces of hair and twist them back, and loosely pin them to form a messy high bun. Take some longer pieces and frame your face with them for a more carefree look. Finish with a light sprinkle of hairspray to give it extra hold.
- Romantic Braided Halo: Get into the mood of romance with an intricate braid halo style. Such a delicate dress is ideal for fancy events and matches wavy or curly hair. To give your hair a bohemian-inspired look, divide it in the middle and braid each side loosely into Dutch braids. The Dutch braids add volume and texture to the plait, making it perfect for this romantic hairstyle. When ready, take one braid and move it over your head, using bobby pins to secure it. Repeat the same with the other braid, tucking the ends and securing them with a pin firmly.
- The Bohemian Side Braid: The simplicity of styling is brought to you by this braid method. To bring the boho essence of it, wear a headband—floral or beaded to complete the bohemian look. Braid all of your hair to one side and braid it loosely down the length of your hair. Don’t stress out about being totally flawless—a bit of messiness and looseness are what give the boho vibe its natural appearance.
- Glamorous Blowout with Headband Flair: Give your blowout a lift by using a headband! A sophisticated thick embellished headband is suitable for a special outing while a plain thin band creates elegance for an everyday look. For a voluminous blowout, begin with hair that was recently cleaned and dried. Spray a volumizing mousse on your root area and blow dry your hair piece by piece as you wrap it around a round brush. Only after your hair is entirely dry, you can use the teasing comb to add some volume to your crown for extra height and fluidity. Opt for a headband that pairs well with your look and style.
- Textured Ponytail with a Kick: Bring some extra sparkle to your regular ponytail with texture and a headband. With a curling iron braid your hair loosely and then gather it into a ponytail. This will give a natural look to your hair. Tie it with an elastic band and wrap a small part of the hair around the band to conceal it and incorporate a little bit of style. Pull out the random strands of hair to give this careless look an element of disarray. And to complete the look, use a headband for an effortless chic style. Thinner headbands with accessories or bright, statement-colored ones would be better choices.
- Romantic Curls with Headband Charm: Become a glamorous Hollywood starlet without the expensive hairstyle by wearing romantic curls with a headband that matches your dress/outfit. To achieve voluminous curls, apply volumizing mousse to your hair and blow-dry your hair with a round brush. Then take a curling wand and create big, bouncy curls. After curling your hair, moisten it with a light-hold hairspray to lock the style. Choose a headband that blends with the rest of your look, sliding it comfortably over your curls, and then tucking it behind the ears. The effect is truly dazzling and ladylike with a little bit of glamour thrown in if you are going to the red carpet.
Therefore, the next time you feel like making a dramatic change in your hairstyle, think of the headband as an easy to apply and a big impact. From cute ribbons to edgy twists, there’s definitely a type of headband hairstyle for everyone.
