The Best Headband: Our Picks
Buying Guide
A headband can be very useful for those women and girls who are concerned about keeping their hair shiny and combed. Choosing one of these accessories is usually not that complicated, but because we want to help you, below we put in your hands the information you need to make the best buying decision.
What is a headband and what are its advantages?
They are made of different materials, such as plastic, fabric and metal, which you can use depending on where you plan to go or what you plan to do. Also, headbands come in a variety of designs, such as plain colours, figure prints, animals, animated characters and flowers.
A headband is characterised, among other things, to fit in almost any event, both casual and formal, so they are accessories that every woman should have at home. Although these products have many obvious advantages, you will also have to consider their minimal disadvantages so that you don’t get any surprises.
Metal, fabric and plastic headbands – what should you look out for?
Metal headbands. Metal headbands have a rigid structure and are not very malleable, but are usually quite durable. They are usually not combined with other materials, but can have details made of the same metals or crystals.
Fabric headbands. On the other hand, fabric headbands are made of textile materials such as cotton, nylon, lycra spandex and other types of elastic fabrics. Due to their properties, they can be adjusted to the circumference of the wearer, although they can sometimes be too large or too small.
Plastic headbands. Plastic headbands are neither too thick nor too thin, so they are easy to handle, but they are also very easy to break if they are not taken care of. They can have different finishes, as well as different textures and coatings.
| Metal headbands | Fabric headbands | Plastic headbands | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of structure | Rigid | Elastic | Malleable |
| Adjustment | No | Yes | No |
| Finishes | Matt or shiny | Without finishes | Matt or shiny |
| Applications | Crystal, metal, stones, among others | Fabric, plastic, metallic, among others | Metallic, plastic, fabric, crystals, buttons, among others |
How much does a headband cost?
On the other hand, a headband made of plastic and covered with fabric will cost approximately 10 GBP, while one of these accessories made only of fabric or plastic can cost from 5 GBP to 10 GBP for its simplicity. You can also find packs of more than two headbands that will vary in price.
Buying criteria: factors that allow you to compare and rate different models of floor lamps
To get the headband that best suits your tastes and needs, we recommend you consider the following factors, as they will determine what your experience with these hair accessories will be like. Below, we develop the most relevant information about their designs, sizes and durability.

- Durability
Designs
Just as headbands are made of multiple materials, you can also find them in different designs that will be suitable for different occasions. You don’t have to wear a sporty headband to a formal event, or a bun headband to the gym.
Applications. These types of headbands can include crystal, pearl, button or stone encrusted details. You can find them in the three main materials of these products, which are plastic, metal and fabric. These types of headbands are ideal for everyday wear, but can also be used for more formal events.
Turbans. Turbans are a type of headband that is currently very fashionable. These accessories are a mixture of materials, since the structure is plastic and the covering is made of fabric that can be plain or printed. They are ideal for casual wear.
Sports headbands. Sports headbands, as their name suggests, are designed to keep the hair in place when exercising. They are usually made of breathable, lightweight and stretchy fabrics. Like turbans, you can find them in plain colours and with prints or patterns.
Bows. This headband design is very common in accessories specifically for babies and girls. It is almost always present in fabric headbands, although you can also find some plastic headbands with these details that can vary in size. The colours can be many, as well as the patterns they come in.
Velvet. This style has become quite popular in recent years. It is ideal for both casual and formal outfits, as it can be plain or plaited velvet, giving a very original touch to the whole outfit. Designs include single-colour fabrics, attached to a plastic structure.
Sizes
Headbands can be divided by size, as the circumference of a baby’s head will not be the same as a girl’s or an adult woman’s, so it is important that you look at the product description and, if possible, try it on before you buy it.
Baby. Although babies develop in different ways and may have different head sizes, there are standard measurements, so if you want to buy a headband for your little one, then you should look for one that measures between 35 and 40 centimetres in circumference and is preferably elastic.
Girls and adults. The measurements that have been established for headbands for girls over 3 years old, young girls and adults are between 38 and 60 centimetres in circumference. If they are elastic, they should be close to the minimum to achieve a better fit, but if they are metallic or plastic, then they should be wider.
Durability
The durability of a headband will depend on two specific factors, i.e., a headband will have a useful life that will be related to the care given to it, as well as the materials from which the product is made.
High durability. Long-lasting headbands tend to be made of metals that allow for minimal malleability, but are resistant to constant use and possible falls. These accessories do not really require meticulous care, although wiping them with a damp cloth will not go amiss.
Medium durability. A medium-durability headband is usually made of cotton, nylon or other types of elastic fabrics. They have more wear and tear than metal headbands, but are still very useful and practical, and fit well on the head. To clean them, you can wash them with a little soap and water.
Low durability. The headbands that break or wear out the fastest are those made of plastic, because due to the nature of the material, they are usually not very resistant. These types of items are very popular because of their low cost, although in the long run, you will probably have to buy a lot of them.
