Headbands? On adults?

[margo1974]

I'm 32, am I too old to wear one?

I have just got a very thin black one in my hair at the moment, but wonder about venturing out of the house with it in.

I like the wide black elasticated ones.

You're not too old for anything at 32, for heaven's sake, apart from legwarmers, and possibly microminis.

I wear them all the time
either narrow elastic ones like these that disappear into your hair or wide scarfy ones like these

Can't bring myself to do this sort - wore too many as a small girl.

they're very okay yah imo or put another way - naff

I often wear wide ones (relied on them heavily when post-baby hair was growing back arond my hairline!). I am 31. You are not too old.

i wear em!

Agree with MrsB (though the spelling on that Monsoon one of 'bando' instead of 'bandeau' does irk me, pedant that I am)

but like cute sparlkly red glitter ones,

Ooops not sure about the narrow ones though - they are a bit twinset and pearls / little girly therefore not a great look for a 32 year old.

But it's the way you wear it girl so who cares? Hold your head up and just be fabulous...

i have this one for the beach. though have just had all my hair chopped off so won't be using it in the very near future.

Never to old!
thanks for the Accessorize link Mrs Badger just ordered some more

OOh I like the accessorize one MrsB

Thank you for rubbishing the "too old" phrase

You've made me feel a bit younger!!!

we had a long chat abotu this last summer iirc
i got a couple
theywer ok
but did feel self conc

I look a twat in a thin headband

When I pose for photos, I always push my glasses to the top of my head to avoid looking like a headmistress, so I suppose I do it already.

Ok, will go to the shops with it in but will be listening out for any sniggers or shouts of mutton behind my back

Whats the best hair style for headbands then? I don't think my hair would work. I have a bob, one length apart from a few long layers, side parting.

they never stay in place on me,always pinging off the back of my enormous head
I do like the scarf ones

Margo, go to Claires Accessories and buy really cheap ones
then if they suit you shell out for Monsoon

Can't quite picture it I'm afraid princessmel - mine is one length and past my shoulders with a centre parting, very 70s I guess...

ah ggirl DD has that problem. She has a red one with velcro to go with her snow white dress and it tends to ping across the room!

No I didn't think so Mrs b. I'm too neat I suppose.

I wear them occasionally but am scared of looking a bit too "Neil from the young ones", as I have long dark hair. I'd love to know how to get my hair all high and 60s-ish with a headband - any ideas?

backcomb velco rollers and hairspray

duh VELCRO

Thanks Margo; do you have any idiot-proof instructions?

I wore one of DD2's the other day. All the DDs liked it but DH did not. Twunt. May buy some of my own now just to piss him off.
