You have 5 minutes until the guests arrive.  Your outfit is looking kind of boring.  You've tried tights, belts, sweaters, but they all looked like too much.  You walk into your bathroom and pull out the headband, girl's best friend.

Headbands can be sophisticated and fun.  They aren't too much, but they will make a difference.  Headbands will be jewelry or compliment pieces you are wearing.  Headbands can match the outfit or bring in a new element.

Headbands came from Greek culture where head wreaths were worn.  The item was soon adopted into Roman and Etruscan culture and were worn on holidays.  In Japan hachimaki headbands symbolize determination.

Personally, I like Jennifer Behr Crystal and Pearl headband.For a more wallet friendly headband, try J. Crew's Jeweled Headband.  (J. Crew always is in on the headband styles.  Try the stores-- the website doesn't always have everything.) 

Headbands are a great addition to every outfit and will mend your bad hair days.
