New Ways to Tie Your Elastic Headbands

You might see little girls, aged 4 and below, wearing colorful elastic headbands around their heads to hold their hair in place, but you rarely find elastic headbands worn in a different fashion. Elastic headbands are not just hair accessories which you use to keep your hair down or clumped together. If you are creative with whatever hair accessories you have in your home, you can transform a simple elastic headband into the perfect accent for any nightgown or dress and even use it to reinvent your hairstyle and your overall look.

There are several things you can do with an elastic headband; just be imaginative and don't let the old designs keep your from experimenting with your hairstyle or with your hair accessories.

1. Top glamorous hairstyles with an elastic hairband.

Tie a top-bun, sock-bun, and any other bun with a stylish elastic headband to make the look extra fabulous. There's absolutely no hairstyle an elastic headband can't improve. You can use an elastic headband with casual wear or as an additional hair accessory for formal events, like weddings and parties.

2. Use two or more elastic headbands for one hairstyle.

You can never have too many elastic headbands on your hair. To capture the boho-chic or hippie look, use more than 2 elastic headbands to hold your long, wavy hair in place. Add a few peace-sign clips or feather accessories and you have yourself a peace-loving look.

3. Use it as a necklace and accessories with a cute pendant or with fashion jewelry beads.

Elastic headbands are not limited to being used as hair accessories. If you enjoy experimenting with your accessories, you could make a lace choker out of an elastic headband or make a flamboyant headdress out of it.

4. Adorn your hair with extra large "flowerettes"

Most elastic headbands for babies come with flowerettes or little clips that look like the petals of a beautiful flower. These flowerettes come in a variety of colors and design, so mixing and matching designs together should not be difficult.

5. Around your hair, yet concealed or partly concealed in a bun.

You don't need to show the word that you are wearing an elastic headband to keep your hair in place. If you want to wear your headband but discreetly, conceal it beneath a bun.
