4 Ways to Wear a Headband

A week or so ago I received a few headbands from one of my sponsors – Paige in a Blanket. You might have seen her little button on the side bar over there and maybe even checked out her shop. She’s got some beautiful items, (even some for fall!) if you haven’t already, go take a look! I wasn’t sure exactly what she was going to send me, but I knew it’d be something for my hair, which is awesome because, I love creating hairstyles!

She sent me these beautiful headbands:

I think the obvious choice of a tutorial is – how to wear a headband! I created a couple styles with each one and made a video tutorial of how I did it. The video was getting really long so I decided to break it up. So this post will be for the thicker headband and the next post (which I’ll get to later today) will be for the thinner one with pearls. Let’s do this!

4 Ways to Wear a Headband

I love the contrast of the cream color with my hair. It’s so very fall, isn’t it? The styles are oh-so-simple you guys. I’ve noticed throughout the blogosphere that’s full of beautiful hair inspiration the simplest ones get the most attention (most of the time.) We all want practical ways to wear our hair in our day to day lives because heck - that’s what we do!

On top of your hair

Nothing mind blowing here folks. Just simply sit the head band on top of your hair, secure the base with bobby pins if you need to and voila – you’re done! Although my hair is curled, I think this would also look very pretty on straight hair. I love it because it’s simple, you’re wearing your hair down, and yet it’s nice and dressed up because of the headband. And if you have blond hair – no worries! She’s got some other very pretty colors.

Side ponytail

Once again, sticking with the easy theme, I just tucked each side into the headband, secured with bobby pins and you’ve got a cute side pony. But it’s not an 80′s side topsy turvy pony talk because it’s got the beautiful headband! Here’s another view:

Ways to Wear a Headband: Side messy bun

Don’t stop there! Twist and pin, twist and pin, twist and pin the side pony until it’s messily tucked to the side for a pretty, little elegant side messy bun. You’re hair was already twisted around the headband, then the twisting and pinning holds it in place all day. You’ve got a nice everyday look, or even something nice enough to wear out – even a wedding!

How to Wear a Headband – bangs pinned back

These headbands are not made to actually hold your hair back. They are fashion headbands, they’re made to be beautiful in your hair and they do a great job at that. So with this look, I tucked the headband under half of my hair and then twisted back the front bangs so that they stayed behind the headband. Super easy but effective in 1.) getting your bangs out of your face and 2.) looking cute while doing it! This would also look really pretty with a deep side part.

Heres’ the video tutorial for those of you who love visuals. I feel ya, I like to see how things are done as well! You can check out my YouTube Channel here and subscribe if you like it! I’d love to have you! I’d love it if you gave me a thumbs up if you liked the video! Enjoy and I’ll be back a little later today with how to wear a headband – part two – showcasing the thinner headband with pearls. Have a great Friday!
