Headbands have officially grown up! I’ve been seeing headbands pop up for a while, from stretchy Scunci hair wraps to top knotted headbands and lastly, my favorite, the padded headband. Headbands are great for shorter hair gals that isn’t always easily tie back. Since I’ve cut my hair short, I actually dislike putting my hair in a ponytail – it’s teeny, leaves a very inconvenient bump, and my hair will often still fall out. Although inherently youthful, I wanted to dress mine up to adulthood with grown up basics like a striped blazer and Chanel slingback dupes. I definitely went for a plainer Jane look but depending on your style you can easily spruce it up with print and color (I love floral for a Caribbean vacay!)
