Headband Hair Fix

Mondays are always tough for me. No matter what, I wake up in a frenzy. I go through my usual beautification process, but somehow I still feel frumpy. My hair just isn't cooperating. I desperately reach for some miracle products or maybe even try styling my curls. Nothing's working. Raarrrr! But there's no time to fidget, I'm in a rush. What do I do? Manic panic starts to take over until...

I discover an headband I used to wear years ago. The only time I would wear this before was when I was exercising or hanging out around the house. I slip it on and I'm instantly relieved. This old thing actually looks pretty good. Who woulda thought?
Headbands are an easy solution if you're in a hair funk. The trick is finding the one that works not just for your face and hair, but also your outfit. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Print vs. Solid- Florals and other patterns are normally not my thing, but they can be super fun. Wear them to jazz up a simple look. You can always opt for a solid if you're already wearing a bold print outfit or you're into color blocking from head to toe.
  
  
• Thin vs. Wide- This one really comes down to how much hair you're trying to cover up. Let's say you're a curly girl, but the hair that frames your face isn't the same texture as the longer coils. Use a wider headband to conceal the difference. Let's say you're pulling your hair up into a messy bun, but you want to add a little flair without drawing too much attention. A thin headband is the perfect accent.
  
  
• Hard vs. Soft- It's totally a personal preference. As a kid, I wore those skinny plastic headbands. They looked cute, but my head would start to ache after a few hours. I've even had issues with soft headbands losing elasticity. It can be frustrating either way. It's all about the slip factor... What's going to stay on without annoying you.

Embellished and ornate. Simple and stylish. You've got tons of options and the choice is yours. Headbands can keep you from having a bad hair just like that. Wink-wink!
