There are objects, like headbands, that act as silent elements, providing aesthetic elegance, beauty, and variety to the people who wear them in their everyday lives. These elements have endured throughout history since classical times, when the ancient Greeks used them as an attribute of the gods, although there is evidence that the ancient Egyptians already used them as a symbol of power and distinction. Over time, they have repeatedly returned to the world of fashion, whether to represent the housewife, or as a sign of distinction for other types of goddesses and divas, such as Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Olivia Newton-John, Cher, or even Diana, Princess of Wales, demonstrating to the world that it is both a common and immortal object. Headbands are more than just simple accessories; they represent the classicism of elegance without excess, utility transformed into an aesthetic symbol, an icon in the attire of cultures and countercultures, simplicity in the highest positions of ready-to-wear... An object, in short, that belongs to the popular domain as one of the most beloved and used elements for beautification.

But, what are headbands?

In essence, headbands are circular objects that have an opening at the back, which is the fundamental difference from a crown, which is completely closed. The usual use of a headband is to be placed around the head, with a clear ornamental function. However, it can also be used to hold hair back so that it falls down the back, preventing it from obstructing vision. Therefore, they are useful objects that offer endless aesthetic opportunities, and in this sense, in terms of design, a headband itself represents a complete genre of accessories. The number of possibilities extends to something less than inexhaustible. There are headbands for girls and boys, men and women, transcending gender boundaries. Similarly, the wedding headband, turban headbands, fabric, metal, flower, wood headbands… are common, as are headbands for costumes, such as Catrina headbands or Halloween headbands.

And a headband also has an impact on the physical appearance of those who wear it.

Headbands to beautify hair and face

Headbands have continued to evolve; they serve as an object of study to understand how they affect a face in one way or another. Thus, there are headbands that camouflage perfectly among the hair, revealing only a detail. In this case, experts advise placing this detail on the good side, to enhance that area which will be the center of attention. However, those that are placed to be fully visible define the shape of the head and face, so if one has a narrow face and a wide chin, a headband can balance it if it incorporates a large adornment. Finally, it is very important to consider the color, as it should be a tone within the palette of the skin itself, to then play with contrasting it at different levels with the hair color.
