Are headbands good for your hair?
Yea sure, we wear them all the time and seemingly nothing happens but does that mean wearing headbands and scarves is good?
I’ll weigh in on both sides.
Pros
– They’re cute!
– Decreases styling time
– Reduces the use of products like gel and edge creams
– Can hide thinning edges
Cons
– If tied too tightly they can give severe headaches
– If cotton, they tend to remove moisture from your hair
– If not cotton, they tend to slide off your head
– If tied tightly they can put a lot of pressure on your edges and cause them to snap
My take?
Yes, headbands can cause damage to tender areas on our head like our hairline, but from time to time I wear them because I rather dislike using gel and edge creams, so they help to make my frizz less obvious. However, when I wear them, they tend to be tied fairly loosely, and I ensure to moisturise my hair before and after removing a headband.
How do you feel about headbands and scarves?
