Trend Alert: Headbands

What’s the hottest way to perk up your hairstyle without any hassle? A headband! Fashion headbands are making a comeback, especially those adorned with bling like the one seen on Hilary Duff. I love headbands to give my look an all together more polished feel, and it is so easy. I like to do a small pouf in the front, then tie my hair back in a ponytail. Slip a headband on to top it off. Headbands are great because they can work so many different ways and with all different types of hair textures.

 Usmagazine highlights the headbands by True Birds, which can be bought online for only $32!
