#5: Small Cornrow Headband

A headband braid does not always have to be big and bold; sometimes a delicate option is all that you need to take your style up a notch. A thin braid works best for women who have shorter wispy pieces around the hairline or bangs because it holds better without slipping.

#7: Braided Headband with Messy Bun

Instead of a scarf or bedazzled headband, why not try a front braid to accent your casual updo? It works best with a high bun because you can really show off the intricacy of the braid and make it the focal point of the style.

#8: Sparkly Accent Headband

When your hair is all one color or pale, a braid headband can get lost in the look especially from far away. Combat this with a thin sparkly headband that will catch the light and draw attention to the detail in the plait.

#9: Double Braided Headband

If you don’t know how to do a Dutch or fishtail braid, there is a simple trick to fake the appearance of one. Place two medium sized braids of equal width next to each other to make them look like one large braided band. Blend with loose waves and a heavy side bang.

#10: Hippie Braid Headband

Just because you are rocking a braided look does not mean that your headband always has to be blended into your strands. Take a cue from the hippies and pull your braid across your forehead. If you want to be a true “flower child,” add a bright yellow bud.

#11: Light and Dark Braided Headband

Playing with color and texture are two surefire ways to make a braided headband pop, and this look does both. The thin braid adds a textural element to highlight the large dark braid. Because the front detail is the focus, make sure to keep the rest of your style soft and uncomplicated.
