Spring is upon us and summer is almost here! If you were never one to wear hair accessories or headbands in the past, now is the time to change things up. Headbands are not only inexpensive and keep your hair from falling in front of your face, but there are also SO many different styles, colors, and materials that can make a boring outfit cute and fun. Summer is the time to experiment – take a look at a few of these headband must-haves!

1. Suede Floral Crown Tie-Back Headwrap, Urban Oufitters, $28.00

This floral headpiece can be worn at a summer concert or on an afternoon walk with your friends. Its lightweight material is not too tight – once wrapped around the back you’ll hardly remember it’s there but, at the same time, can add an awesome “boho-chic” look to your outfit.

Worn Best With: Maxi Skirt and Crop Top

 

2. Gold Stars Turban, Nasty Gal, $15.00

Turbans have been trending for a while now and have continued to stick around the past few summers. Although it’s a bit different than your typical headband, it’s a great compliment with wavy or straight hair.

Worn Best With: Basic Tee and Skinny Jeans

 

3. Fly Away Tamer Headband, Lululemon, $12.00

This headband, which is available in many different colors, is necessary for your summer workouts. The material is stretchy enough that it will hold all of your hair back while you’re on a run outside or playing beach volleyball with your friends. And come on, what girl doesn’t like Lululemon?

Worn Best With: Work out gear of your choice

 

4. Tie Dye Widebands, Free People, $18.00

Wide headbands are perfect for when you wake up in the morning and there is no time to fix your messy hair. Wear closer to your hairline for a hippie feel or further back in order to cover your tangled locks. These headbands easily play up any outfit with minimal effort.

Worn Best With: Top Knot Bun and Oversized Knit Sweater

 

5. Twist Scarf, American Apparel, $14.00

This headband is becoming super popular because it looks good with just about any hair length or type, curly, straight, or layered. The wire in the headband allows you to twist and adjust the headband to your liking and is guaranteed to stay in place the entire day. These come in many different colors and prints that will be seen all spring and summer!

Worn Best With: Tang top and High-Wasted Shorts
