Headbands come in many shapes and styles, from thin and plastic to thick and padded. The good news is that most are incredibly versatile. Have a favorite headband that you're dying to wear? All these styling ideas work for any type, so you're in luck.
The classic way to wear a headband, according to Byrdie, is simple, straight, and chic. After straightening your hair, place your headband on your head by starting at your hairline and pushing the hair back. This creates a sophisticated and timeless look. The headband can also be placed in the center of the top of the head, allowing your bangs to lay flat around your face. For a fun look, opt for a print that contrasts with your hair, so the headband pops.
Securing it over a simple middle part is also a cute way to style your headband, with your hair curly, straight, or in a ponytail or bun (via Seventeen). Short-haired girls aren't going to miss out on this hair trend either, as headbands dress up any length of hair. A thin headband works great for those with pixie-style cuts or shorter, but even a thick headband will look super cute and "retro" while placed directly on the top of the head (per Woman and Home).
