A metallic headband slim enough to wear every day: this braided band is 1/4 inch wide, made of fine shimmer cord on a stretch core and closed with a small polished bead. Knotty makes it in six shades, gold tone, silver, rose gold, mixed, bronze and gunmetal, and suggests layering two together for a glossier look.

  • Quarter inch wide. Thin enough to sit flat without leaving a dent or pressing behind the ears.
  • Stretch loop. It goes on over the head, with no plastic ends pressing against your skull.
  • Six finishes. Pick one to match your jewelry or the mixed band to match all of it.
  • Layers well. Two bands in different shades read as a single braided crown.

Thin Headband, Big Effect

A thin headband works where a wide one feels like too much. A quarter inch of metallic braid adds shine at the hairline without hiding your hair or changing your outfit. It outlines the face much as a fine necklace outlines the neck, and it is light enough that you forget it is there.

The stretch loop means the band holds itself in place by tension around the head rather than pressure from rigid ends. That suits people who find plastic headbands pinch behind the ears.

How to Wear a Headband

There are three good ways to wear a band this slim. Across the crown, about two inches back from the hairline, is the classic: it keeps hair off the face and shows the shimmer. Pushed forward across the forehead, it gives a relaxed, boho halo, especially with loose waves or a low ponytail. Set just behind the hairline with a high ponytail, it smooths flyaways and leaves the pony as the focus.

For a fuller look, layer two: one gold tone and one rose gold, or silver over gunmetal, set a finger width apart.

Braided Headband Colors and Care

Which shade suits my hair? Gold tone and bronze warm up brown and red hair; silver and gunmetal look sharp on black, gray and ash blonde; rose gold flatters warm blonde; mixed works on everyone.

Will a stretch headband slip on fine hair? Place it slightly further back, behind the curve of the head, and it holds. A light spray of dry shampoo at the roots underneath adds grip.

How should the metallic cord be cared for? Keep hairspray and oils off it, store it flat or loosely coiled, and let it air out after a hot day rather than balling it into a bag.
