Add a bit of hair flair this spring with a great studded headband.
t I fell in love with headbands when I was a young girl, watching Full House and seeing Stephanie always wearing hers. I like to think of it as a lifelong love affair, though. There was a time when I wore one every single day and even wrapped the ends with Band-Aids after they started to hurt from the long wear.
t Headbands are great items to keep in your accessory arsenal. They are easy to throw on when in a hurry to get out the door. Especially useful during that awkward stage while growing out long bangs. That is me over here!
t Throw one on that has a great bow or sequin studs and you can instantly glam up that casual outfit. No matter when you wear one, they are always trendy and in style. Seeing so many different options out there, and being inspired by many of them, I decided it would be fun to make my own, one that fit into my own personal style but could be paired with a numerous assortment of ensembles.
t It is a great way to customize your hair and add a bit of personalized flair. Follow the simple steps below to see how you can make your own headband at home too!
