It’s no secret that here at Who What Wear we love a good hair accessory. Whether we’re talking about clips, barrettes, ribbons, or scarves, they’re the easiest way to elevate a hairstyle—any hairstyle, really. We mean it. Whenever our hair is looking rather, um, lackluster, we toss a hair accessory into it, and we’re out the door in five minutes flat. That’s why we’re always expanding our hair-accessory wardrobe. We never know when we’ll need a little extra help.
The easiest and perhaps most classic hair accessory we reach for is the humble headband. While it’s often associated with a preppy Upper East Side look à la Blair Waldorf, it can actually suit myriad styles and aesthetics. There’s a look for ’90s-supermodel-hair enthusiasts, red carpet replicators, people with short hair or braids, and more. Need proof? We got you.
