The Headband

Fashion friend, or fashion foe?

I recently purchased a 3 pack (black, brown, white) of simple cloth covered headbands. I'm growing my bangs out and this is a good solution. However, I'm torn on liking them. I mean, Paris Hilton wears them. She then looks like a baby doll (puke). But then Lauren Conrad wears them and looks like a young, fresh fashionista. Sigh.

I have yet to attempt the silky ones that look like fake scarves with the trailer down the back.

I wear them to wash my face.

I wear them sometimes, but I can never find ones that stay on my head properly. The best ones I have are the plastic ones with the spikes. The cloth one I have does not stay in place for more than 10 seconds, so I don't wear it.

But anyway, I think they're cute, so I say fashion friend. :)

Jen-the first day I wore one, I had that same problem. Now, I spray my hair, put the headband on, and spray over it. I figure I can try running them through the dishwasher when they get grimy. :-)

I wear them around the house and on weekends. So it's probably a fashion faux pas.

I'm like Boo, wear them to wash my face. My face is not headband friendly.

You put them on your hair, tummy, not your face. :-)

Well, Hilary used to wear them all the time.

I miss wearing a silk scarf to hold my ponytail (/flashback)

*glares at Swami* You had to bring up her, didn't you?

Swami said...

Yes I did. She was my very first headband thought.

I wear one when I wash my face, too. Never out in public.

The only headband I wear is for snowmobiling...think skibunny type headband.

Otherwise? Not something I can wear.

You wear cheese on your head for Cod sake so what's a little headband?

Picture please and then I will offer my thoughts.

I wear one that resembles a huge covered rubber band when I go to the gym. I can not stand hair hanging in my face when I do yoga. LOL.

I wear a stretchy thingy when I wash my face.

I haven't worn a headband for fashion for years, but I used to love them when I had long hair. My hair is so thick that nothing else would work.

Good luck with the bang growing. I hate growing out a hairstyle.

Monsty has a point about the cheese thing.

I'll have to take a picture one of these days...you know, on the camera that also has girl weekend pics that I haven't downloaded. I'm having laptop power cord issues at home right now.

Um Monsty, try walking through a Wisconsin airport with a cheesehead on. They look at you as though you flew in on a spaceship.

I wore them in elementary school.
