Head bands

After I posted this picture I got an email from my best friend Karen who lives in Idaho-


Big Question
Ok, I've always had this problem, and I know you are the one who can answer it. You know the headband you are wearing in the soccer pics you posted? Is it one of those stretchy elastic ones? I can never get it to stay in place...it always slips off the back. Is my head just too big? I really like it for certain occasions, but it's not worth trying to wear it because I'm always messing with it, messing up 'the look'. Any pointers? Thanks!Love, Karen

Here is my reply-

That's so funny because they always slip off my head too! These are the best ones by far because they are the goody sport ones and they have some rubbery stuff that is supposed to help them stay in place better... And they now have cute colors!



Here's how I do it-
First stretch it out... When they are too tight they pop off your head too easy.

But since they still fall off here are some other tips...

Bobby pin your bangs back first then put the headband in front of the bobby pins to keep it from slipping off. It will still start popping up in the back but it's easier to just pull it down in the back then have to keep putting it back on! This works best when you want a high pony tail, and I like my high ponys to be messy!

And the other thing that works well is to do a low ponytail at the base of your head. That helps it stay down... You would just have to do a little back combing at the crown to give it some volume at the top of you head...

And last tip- Wear the band with your hair down! And do some loose waves... And ta dah! You will have a smokin' hot date night do!!

Hope that helps! Happy head band wearing!
