Choose headbands to suit your hairstyle and occasion
A headband is a quick way to make loose hair, a ponytail or a bun feel more put together. Keep it simple with a plain hairband for everyday wear, add texture with a braided or twisted design, or choose glitter and decorative details for a night out. Start with the finish you like, then consider the width and fit.
Which headband style should you choose?
Plain and satin-finish headbands: Easy to pair with everyday outfits. Black offers a understated finish, while brighter colours make your hair accessories part of the look. Choose a glossy design for shine or a satin finish for a softer-looking effect.
Braided and twisted headbands: Add texture to straight hair, loose waves or a simple updo without needing an elaborate hairstyle.
Decorative headbands: Pearl, stone and glitter details bring a dressier feel to party outfits. A glitter bow adds a playful touch, while a tiara makes a statement for a birthday celebration.
Patterned headbands: Pick prints to brighten a plain outfit, or festive plaid and snowflake designs for seasonal dressing.
Flexible wire headbands: Choose an adjustable design when you want to shape the band to your preferred fit and keep hair away from your face.
Novelty headbands: Cat ears and other playful designs suit parties, festivals and days when you want something a little different.
Compare width, finish and fit
The SOHO Audrey range includes 2 cm wide headbands with a satin finish, giving you a defined band of colour without making it the whole focus of your hairstyle. Compare the width and design details on each product page before choosing. For everyday use, look for a fit that feels secure without being too tight; adjustable wire styles offer more scope to shape the band.
Simple ways to style your headband
Wear your headband slightly back from the hairline and leave a few front sections loose for a relaxed look. Pair a decorative style with a low bun for an evening out, or let a coloured hairband stand out against a neutral outfit. If you mainly want to keep hair out of your face during your skincare routine, a plain or flexible design is an easy choice.
Which headband works best for everyday outfits?
A plain black, neutral or satin-finish headband is easy to mix with different outfits. Choose braided or twisted styles if you prefer a little texture without glitter or embellishment.
How do I choose a comfortable headband?
Check the product's size and construction details rather than choosing by appearance alone. The band should feel secure without pinching. If you want to adjust its shape, consider a flexible wire headband.
