Hairstyles under the headband
How to wear a headband with different hairstyles and different hair lengths - “Beautiful and Successful” knows all the options!
- If you have a haircut with bangs, then they are always left in front, without combing under the headband. The same goes for haircuts where there are no bangs, but there are shorter strands in the front part - they should not be hidden. However, if you deliberately want to change your hairstyle and remove the existing bangs, you can use an elastic band (headband) or another tight-fitting option: such an accessory will help create an image with an open forehead.
- With long hair without bangs, headbands are worn so that the entire mass of hair remains tucked under the arc of the accessory.
A massive hair hoop will suit many looks.
- However, if you have long or medium-length hair, you can create a bun hairstyle, decorating it with a headband. This is true for evening looks.
- You can also wear headbands with low ponytails. And if the headband has a voluminous asymmetrical decor, then the tail can also be tied asymmetrically - on the side opposite the decorative element.
- Hoops are also worn for short hair and bobs. Of course, there are not many styling options here, but you can boldly experiment with shapes, decor and materials of accessories - on minimalist haircuts they will all look as stylish and expressive as possible.
And another option for wearing a hairband concerns hard headbands with rhinestones. They can be worn sideways (with the ends directed not behind the ears, but towards the back of the head) - as tiaras in evening and wedding hairstyles.
The headband can be worn with almost all hairstyles!
How are accessories used?
Usually the words “hoop” and “rim” are used as synonyms.
However, there are differences between them which we will discuss further. Often, a hoop refers to a headband. They are actually two different things.
- A hoop is an independent accessory that goes down onto the forehead. It is closed in a circle and worn at or below the hairline.
- The headband has the shape of an unfinished circle and not only decorates the hairstyle, but also fixes the curls. It is worn above the hairline.
How to combine a hairband and jewelry?
Since hair accessories should be combined with earrings and neck jewelry, you should consider how to properly wear a headband with jewelry or jewelry.
The easiest way is to select “trinkets” under a plain fabric headband - a turban headband, a headband, etc. For example, a velvet turban headband will go well with the most formal, evening, shiny earrings and necklaces - made of precious metals, with stones (or their imitations).

If the bezel is large, or decorated with some expressive decorative elements (feathers, artificial flowers, rhinestones in claw frames, etc.), then, of course, the decorations should be given a more modest role.

If you want something massive, let it not be next to your face: after all, you can give preference to a cocktail ring, bracelet or pendant on a long chain.
Jewelry and headband can and should be combined!

How to choose a hoop?
In order for the hoop to be in harmony with the chosen image, it is necessary to take into account the following rules when choosing it:
- For light summer dresses and sundresses, it is better to choose wide hoops in bright colors.
- Thin hoops decorated with rhinestones, stones or feathers will complement your evening outfit. In this case, the hoop should be in harmony in color with other details of the outfit.
- For a hot summer day, metal or textile hoops are suitable, and for the cold season, you can choose fur options. In spring and autumn, the choice is dictated by personal preferences.

Formal hairstyles with a headband for short hair
Even the shortest hair can be styled spectacularly, complemented by a headband. This accessory will easily transform a strict boyish haircut into a festive and elegant one.
With curls
If the length is sufficient (for example, in the case of a bob), then a light and festive hairstyle will be achieved by combining curls and a small headband. You can choose thin metal or fabric with decor.
Headband on the forehead
Give your hair the desired texture and tie a headband, placing it on your forehead. This option is suitable for creating a look in a boho, hippie or retro style, if the headband has additional decor that matches the spirit of the chosen era.
With a braid of hair
Use a braided headband, carefully masking the elastic band at the back with your hair. This way it’s easy to add volume to your hair and pretend that the length allows you to braid your hair.
Almost Greek hairstyle
Some beautiful ladies may encounter such a problem that their hair simply does not stay in this hairstyle. Everything can happen due to the fact that the hair is quite thick and heavy, and the hairstyle simply falls apart under the weight of its own weight. There is, so to speak, a “lighter” version of the Greek hairstyle. In exactly the same way, we put on a headband with an elastic band and wrap the hair under the elastic with flagella, but this time we make a full turn of the strand around the elastic band to achieve better fixation. We do exactly the same actions with two or three more strands on both sides of the head. We tie the remaining hair into a ponytail, which can be decorated with beautiful curly curls. The hairstyle is ready! In this form, you can go to school, to work, or just tidy up your hair beautifully while you are at home.

Features of creating styling
In order for the image created using hoops and ribbons to be perfect, you should know a few little tricks:
Let's take a closer look at the most spectacular and stylish hairstyles that can be done using headbands.
For medium length
Headbands look very harmonious on medium-length curls, which are most often left loose and slightly curled - both light waves and abundant curls look equally impressive. Framed by a headband, such a hairstyle looks extremely gentle, mischievous and playful - these options are optimal for young fashionistas and young girls.
For special occasions, you can do some other hairstyles.
Boucles a la 20s
NEP style styling is considered universal and suitable for any holiday or theme party.
For installation you will need:
You should start your hairstyle by combing the mop to the side and pulling the tight ponytail, after which a soft hoop is put on your head so that the elastic is located below the level of hair growth, and can be secured with hairpins at the attachment point.
The tail is divided into several strands, one of them is attached to a ribbon, then a tight rope is made from it, carefully pulled from roots to ends with your hands so that a curl is formed - it is carefully laid on the head, giving the necessary shape, and secured with small hairpins. Do the same with all other strands.
To give the styling the necessary fixation, it is sprayed with varnish.
French styling
The French hairstyle is also good for medium hair, especially those cut into a bob.
This is a very elegant model that fits perfectly on a medium bob. To build it, you need to comb your hair with a side parting, after which one strand is separated from the top of the head and combed. Then they take the entire head of hair in their hands and form it into a roll, pinning it along the edges with hairpins. The ends are shaped like a loop and hidden inside. All you have to do is put on a hoop-ribbon decorated with rhinestones - and your stylish hairstyle is ready.
Flower
For medium curls, the flower hairstyle is also suitable. In this case, all the hair is gathered into a ponytail and a headband is put on. Then the collected hair is divided into 3-4 equal parts and petals are made from them - each is bent in half and secured with invisible hairpins.
For greater hold, the hair is sprayed with hairspray.
For long hair
As in the previous case, the use of a headband on loose hair is very popular - it helps to emphasize the beauty of the hair in its beauty and femininity.
