Headbands. Those horseshoe-shaped rigid ones. MN jury verdict?

[solidgoldbrass]

It's not like I give a fuck or would change my mind about the purchase and wearing of same, but I am just a bit curious...

[belgo]

you mean alice bands? Fine if you are under the age of 10.

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

my sis is quite stylish but unique and she wears them all the time. the wider ones are in fashion atm afaik.

[Enraha]

Hmmm. Not keen.

I prefer the wider floppy bandana-ish ones.
I quite like the big hair bobble ones.
The stiff ones, especially wide ones, give me a tension headache (physically on me and when I see them )

[cyteen]

Rotten.

[forevercleaning]

with belgo on this one - youngsters only

[Overmydeadbody]

They're cute if you're under 12.

I've seen some adults get away with them, but they where always those supermodel types with long straight hair and beautiful stunning faces.

[Swedes]

Is it 1983?

[belgo]

'those supermodel types with long straight hair and beautiful stunning faces' can generally get away with anything

[PortAndLemon]

My mother wears them. Hence if I wore them I would look like my mother. So I don't .

Have no opinion on them on other people, though...

[joliejolie]

I wear an Alice Band sometimes. It is silver from Miu Miu and it looks good in my long brown hair...and matches my silver ballet pumps (and my Birkenstocks )!!

I generally don't give a t*ss what people think about me or what I wear though, so that might be why I feel like I can get away with it.

[Overmydeadbody]

yes, damn them belgo

[Goober]

Ok if you are still into High School Musical.

[shhhh]

davina mccall worn one the other week...I said to dh: "she looks 10"

IMO awful...unless you are a child.

[solidgoldbrass]

Ah well, I shall go and buy some more, and probably some more CROCS as well. I am old enough now to put comfort and practicality first (am growing my hair from v short and it is at the maddening stage where only a headband seems to work).

[hana]

I wear only when running . usually my daughter's and I do look silly

[lilyloo]

I sometimes wear the ones with lots of big teeth in.
My dd 3 has loads of the alice bands and i wouldn't personally wear them.
Have seen lot's of teenagers in the big hair bobble ones and they look quite nice!
The big wide elastic ones are good for when you in a rush and haven't washed your hair though!

[MadBadandDangeroustoKnow]

I like the wide bandanna-y ones, too. No strong opinions on the rest, except that padded black velvet ones that make you look like an illustration from the Sloane Ranger Handbook should be avoided.

[EachPeachPearMum]

They look gorgeous.... on my 2.6 year old DD.

[bethoo]

even as a child they wre bloody painful to wear! the teeth used to dig in and the edges would press into the bit behind my ear! ouch

[paddingtonbear1]

I wear one at the moment, to keep my hair out of the way (it's not long enough to tie back). I don't think it looks too bad, it's just plain black, has no 'teeth' and is v comfy.

[ThatBigGermanPrison]

Fine.

If you run a Pony Club.

[Jux]

I love them on little girls. I was at uni with a mature student (in her 40s?) who wore one all the time. She looked like an idiot. Sorry.

[onceinalifetime]

Sorry but only the very thin metal ones, the wide bandana or the black ones like an elastic band. Wide plastic just for kids.
