Headbands are hair accessories that trend all seasons long and are suitable for all hair types. They come in various stylish designs and offer great benefits. They function as a barrier to protect your hair against sweat, dust, and other hard weather conditions, reduce friction and tangling, and protect your hairline. Ladies with textured hair can rock headbands in many hairstyles and hair lengths. Whether you’re channeling your inner Hillary Banks or Blair Waldorf, headband hairstyles have come a long way for textured hair.
If you’d like to try on a headband hairstyle anytime soon, then be inspired by these styles below:
1. SIDE PINEAPPLE PUFF

This effortless look requires you to brush your hair up to the side and secure it with an elastic band or a scrunchie in a pineapple puff. Pull on your headband and let it sit nicely on or close to your hairline. You can brush your baby hairs for that extra glam.
2. TOP KNOT BUN

A top knot bun standing proudly on one’s head will always give it a sophisticated look. Add a light pink satin headband to the hairstyle, and you get an all-round attractive hairdo.
3. SIDE SWEPT CURLY AFRO
