1. DRESS UP A PIXIE

If your hair is short, the right headband is an easy way to make it glamorous.

Choose one that’s slim and lies flat against the head.

Chunky details like flowers or bows can be overpowering.

2. TRY A FLOPPY BOW

Dig a ribbon from your wrapping paper stash and try this easy look:

Cut a piece long enough to wrap around your head twice.

Position it at the base of your neck, pull the sides up behind your ears and tie in a loose bow.

Twist the bow off to one side for an irresistibly adorable looks

3. OPT FOR ULTRA-THIN

A skinny headband makes a sophisticated statement.

4. TOP OFF AN UPDO

Low chignons and French twists can get stuffy-and a headband is a simple way to infuse a bit of fun.

Choose a thicker band with a little embellishment-like few bobby pins at the base of the neck can help keep it in secure.

5. GO BIG

The rules of a statement are no different than statement jewelry.

 Keep the rest of your look simple-avoid garish patterns or loud colors-and skip earrings and necklaces altogether.

6. TRY THE LOW-KEY LOOK

A stretchy jersey headband is perfect for edgy.

For a subtle take, try one that matches your hair color exactly, or keep well-mussed strands off your face with a knotted band.
