17 Best Headbands That'll Compliment Any Hairstyle

Allure commerce editor Sarah Han is a big fan of any accessory from Emi Jay, including the Halo Headband. Any Y2K nostalgic will fall in love with the powder pastel hues and crystal butterfly embellishments, but if you're not a fan of satin headbands, you can also grab the same padded style in a cute lace pattern as well.

How could we ever list the best headbands ever and not feature Lele Sadoughi? Although the brand has near-infinite luxury headband styles to wear, the Knotted Eyelet Headband is currently one of our favorites for its 100 percent cotton material and subtly elegant look. Wear this with your favorite nap dress to create the ultimate cottagecore-inspired look.

There are tons of braided headbands to choose from, but are any of them as gentle on your hair as Ceremonia's The Frida Headband? This black hairband is made with satin to protect your hair from accessory-induced breakage and its wider fit allows thicker hair textures to wear with no styling issues.

We at Allure do not believe in bad hair days, but no matter how off you're feeling about your style, the Eugenia Kim Rafaela Headband will glam it up in seconds. This textured hairband has a cute pleated satin design and measures only one inch in width to make a statement without overtaking your entire head.

As you may know by now, not all sports headbands are created equal. Whenever we need a sturdy hairband that'll push hair back without slipping off, we put on the Lululemon Fly Away Tamer Headband. This stretchy head wrap goes around your entire head and has an inner non-slip velvet band that'll withstand your most grueling sweat sessions. Speaking of sweat, this band is made from sweat-wicking nylon and lycra that comes in five shades to match all of your exercise outfits.

Out of all the hairbands that land on Allure senior editor Jesa Marie Calaor's desk, Kristin Ess's The Knotted Headband Abstract Pattern is the one she constantly turns back to. "I actually wear this headband on most days and it's super durable," she says. On top of its cheetah-inspired print, its affordable, under-$20 price tag is also something to marvel at.

Anthropologie's Silky Bauble Headband is a true statement-making piece worthy of all your outfits and hairstyles. Its eye-catching baubles and six vibrant colors are stunning, but the twisted fabric details and smooth satin feel are even more jaw-dropping.

Chances are, you've seen Hill House Home's The Halo Headband pop up on your For You Page at some point. This is the accessory that reignited the large padded headband trend and it's also more delicate on your hair than other options, all thanks to its 100 percent silk material imported from Italy.

Logomania has entered the chat with Prada's Re-Nylon Headband. It's quite a splurge, but it's worth every penny, and not just because it has Prada's signature metal triangle logo. This puffy, wide headband may look heavy, but it feels barely there and comfy enough on your head to be worn all day. It's made from the luxury label's regenerated nylon yarn, which is made from plastic trash collected from the ocean.

Wintertime calls for fuzzy headbands like the Chelsea King Fur Houndstooth Hairband. This houndstooth-patterned band stretches around your head for a snug fit and its polyester-based faux fur will keep your head and ears warm no matter how low the temperature drops. If that's not enough to convince you, Allure deputy digital director Kara McGrath says Chelsea King is one of her go-to brands for any and all hair accessories, so it's editor-approved.

Got a particularly fancy occasion to doll up for? That's the perfect time to whip out Shashi's Nova Headband. This beaded headband has a glitzy pattern that'll elevate your most sophisticated hairstyles.

Whether you're getting ready for bed or a night out, the Slip Knot Silk Headband is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. Just like its famous silk pillowcases, the brand's slip-on headband is made from 100 percent mulberry silk to prevent breakage and creases.

Sometimes, simple is best. The Tortoiseshell Pattern Headband from Alexandre de Paris is a perfect example of this, as it makes a statement without being super-bold and colorful. Wear it with jeans and a tee for a timeless feel.
