AIR and head accessories, especially hats, scarves, hair bands, bandanas and headbands, are getting more stylish. As a head accessory, the headband is evergreen. It is always in vogue and because it comes in several beautiful colours, it always appears to be forever in vogue. Initially, it was designed to fit over or around the head in order to hold the hair away from the face. But over the years, it has become a hot fashion item. It keeps the hair securely away from the face and its colourful and vibrant nature adds a touch of subtle whim to your head, hair or look. Headbands are produced from variety of items, plastic, elastic, rubber, cotton and most importantly they can be made from your normal scarf by simply folding the scarf into folds and knotting it at the back of the head. For a vibrant look, add a headband to your ensemble, at least for a change from the normal plain style. Distinctive headbands are available with any mix of tiny pearls, beads, sequins, flowers and so on. Headbands add to beauty and they brighten the look and they are good for all occasions.
