As someone who can be a bit lazy (or a lot lazy) when it comes to styling my hair, a go-to move that I like to employ sometimes is adding a statement-making headband and calling it a day. There’s little to no styling involved, and I’m pretty much guaranteed at least a compliment or two. A headband can really pull your whole look together—both makeup- and outfit-wise.
The great thing about hair accessories like headbands is that they can be pretty affordable, too. There are some great options to be found that are under £20. But if you really want to take things up a notch and are serious about this accessory, why not splurge on a designer one?
Okay, yes, it is easy to balk at paying £100 or more for a headband, but if you really want to go all in on this hair accessory, it might be worth the investment for you. Keep cost per wear in mind. Plus, with proper care, these designer accessories will last you a long time. And just think: You’ll automatically look put-together every time you don it—no hot tools or intricate styling skills required.
