Sometimes wearing that cute little headband you found can be frustrating. Hair being pulled, getting tangled, and all of those things are anything but fun. This article will show you how to make them less painful on your delicate locks.
Steps
-
Go into a section of your favorite clothing or hair care store and look for a section containing accessories. You can also go to a regular store, such as Walmart and look at the selection there. Be careful though - some of the headbands there don't have very good quality.
-
Avoid headbands with small sticks or prongs on the insides of them. These can get tangled into your hair, and they can be extremely difficult to get out without a lot of pain. They can also cause hair breakage or loss in extreme cases.Advertisement
-
Avoid tight headbands. These, with prongs or not, can hurt a lot. Wearing them for long amounts of time can cause headaches and a lot of pain. Sometimes they can even pull your hair during removing them.
-
Find headbands that are loose, comfortable, and prong-free. These are the best kinds of headbands, as they cause no headaches, no hair loss, and no pain. You can wear them for a long time without fear of them coming off.
-
Make sure that the headbands that you pick aren't too loose. This can cause them to slip off of your head and cause your hair to move around at the worst times.
-
Brush your hair thoroughly beforehand. This loosens up your hair and frees it from any tangles, which makes it so much easier to put on the headbands and have them stay in place.
-
Pick which headband you wish to put on. It can match your outfit, or it can look wild. It's all up to you! Layer a lace headband upon a solid headband for a cute, layered look.
-
Using your hairbrush and pull back the hair at the top of your head to smooth it out to assist the headband. It gets rid of the part in the middle of your hair. Skip this step if you're going for that look in particular.
-
Slide the headband over your head and onto your neck. Flip your hair out of the back of your headband, and pull the front of the headband over. This will apply the headband to your forehead, creating an awesome look!
