9. Half-Up, Half-Down with Headband
If you like some hair down but need the top section secure, this is a good choice. Pull the top half of your hair back into a small pony or bun and then add your headband. It keeps the hair near your face in place while letting the rest move freely. A few bobby pins can help secure the half-up section even more.
8. Double Headband Look
Sometimes one headband just isn’t enough! Using two headbands gives you double the security. It’s especially helpful if you have thick or really full hair that’s hard to manage. You can even layer a thin one and a wider one for both grip and style.
7. Braided Headband
This style is functional and looks nice too. Braid a small section of hair near your hairline on one or both sides, then put on your headband over the braids. It’s great for keeping those pesky little baby hairs from escaping. A little bit of hairspray can help smooth down any flyaways.
6. Headband with Space Buns
For a fun and totally secure look, pair your headband with space buns. Put your hair into two buns, either high on your head or lower near your neck. Then, add your headband. This keeps all your hair neatly contained. Make sure your buns are wrapped tightly so they don’t come loose during play.
5. Headband with French Braids
French braids are already pretty secure, but adding a headband makes them even better. Braid one or two French braids starting from your hairline, and then slide your headband over them. It’s a great way to look stylish while keeping everything locked down. Braid as close to your scalp as you can for maximum hold.
4. Top Knot with Headband
A high top knot is excellent for getting all your hair completely off your face and neck. Adding a headband at the front provides extra reassurance that no strands will escape. This is perfect if you have really long hair. Wrap your knot firmly and secure it well.
3. Headband with Boxer Braids
Boxer braids are one of the most secure styles for intense activity. Adding a headband in front of them just ups the game. These two tight braids keep your hair flat against your head. It’s a go-to for many athletes because it stays put through anything. Braid them super close to your scalp for the best results.
