To step it up, try this black stretchy knotted headband with a hand-stitched football charm and some pearls and rhinestones (that aren’t too heavy so you’ll blind your neighbors).

It’s great for football moms who don’t need another team sweatshirt. It also works as a stocking stuffer for the friend who goes to tailgates for the food. It’s cheap, easy, and season-appropriate. You can’t go wrong with it.

5. A Coral Fleece Spa Set for Skincare Night With the Girls
Canitor Spa Headband Wrist Bands SetSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
We all know how a skincare routine feels like, especially the last few steps: wet sleeves, hair sticking to the forehead, and streaks of foundation line the hairline. The good news, this purple set solves all three! With the bow headband, wristbands, and sponge band, you’ll get to take your skincare routine to the next level! The sponge band is the best because the 100% cotton terry cloth actually absorbs water instead of just pushing it around. The wristbands can also double as scrunchies, and the hair clip is a great aid to keep thicker sections of hair out of the way during a mask. This is the kind of practical yet cute set that makes for a great gift for a teenage niece, roommate, or anyone who has a vanity that looks like a Sephora store. It is functional and slightly indulgent, plus it is super useful at 11 p.m.
6. Three Knotted Pearl Headbands in Pink, Beige, and Black
Ivyu HeadbandsSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
The set comes with three fabric headbands that are adorned with faux pearls on top where the headband is knotted. The faux pearls give the headband a classy look and the knot on top gives each headband additional height. The headbands are wide enough to hold back a messy bun, and they are narrow enough to wear to dinner while you are dressed up. The headbands have a slight stretch and sit flat so they won’t give you a headache at the temples after a long day of wear. These headbands are great for those mornings when you do not have time to wash your hair.
7. Pink Plaid Knotted Headband With Tiny Bows and Pearls
Y1tvei Bow Checked Knotted HeadbandSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Coquette style headband. Features include a pink-and-white checkered base, pink bows, an abundance of rhinestones and faux pearls, and a knot on top that gives height without the flat-crown effect that most padded headbands have. The selling point memory-elastic plastic frame is what makes this stand out! It does not pinch around the temple for a comfortable all-day wear and holds its shape without the crown slipping down (thank you spring back technology)! At 4.7 inches, this headband is more accessory than crown! You can wear this for the holidays, bridal showers, or just on a Tuesday when your hair is being funky. For gifts, this is in the range of Secret Santa and stocking stuffer— cute, specific, and highly unlikely to be returned!
8. Four Boho Knotted Headbands That Stay Put During Yoga
Acenail Wide Headbands Women Knotted Turban Headband (4 Pieces)See price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Four-pack boho headband sets? Count the math that works out. These headbands are made of a polyester-blend fabric, and are wide enough (9.8 by 5.9 inches) to cover most of the tops of your heads. Each headband has a chevron knot in the front to do the styling for you. The elastic is stretchy, but not too much that it will cut circulation. Perfect for 3-day hair, and when you want to pretend it’s intentional. The non-slip silicone grip is great for yoga, a sweaty walk, or a 10-step skincare routine. These headbands are lightweight enough to be stored in your bag, and are boho-printed enough to make them look like a fashion statement.
9. A Crisscross Knot Headband With a Rose and Heart Accent
Bookay Valentine’s Day Statement Headband for WomenSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Valentine’s Day outfits typically call to mind the color red, with reference to a red dress, red lips, red something. This one goes with a more subtle color palette. The band is wide, knotted and multicolored with a soft finish, and has a small rose and heart accent. The design feature that most headbands go flat is the crisscross knot at the crown. It’s about 5.16 inches in its natural state, and stretches without slipping (underneath the grippy surface can survive a dinner reservation and the walk home). It looks great on short hair, long hair, and especially second day hair. Gift it to a sister who doesn’t want to wear pink, or save it for the next date night you need to look put together in under a minute.
10. Puffy Terry Cloth Headband and Wristbands for Splash-Free Face Washing
Canitor Sponge Spa Headbands Wristband SetSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Wet sleeves should be your number one enemy when it comes to nighttime skin care routines. But they can be a thing of the past thanks to this set, which contains terry cloth wristbands that absorb rather than deflect your run-off toward your elbows. In addition to the wristbands, the set contains two styles of headbands (a puffy cloud headband made of sponge and terry 100% cotton, and a coral fleece bow), as well as hair clips meant for thicker sections of hair. Your items will remain secure because of the no slip stretchy material. The cloud headband is the best one because it is thick, plush, and dense enough to keep any stray flyaways from escaping during your double cleanse. It is a must have for sheet masks, gua sha sessions, or even for someone who routinely finishes washing their face with totally soaked pajama cuffs.
11. Cross Knot Hairbands in Four Colors for Every Outfit
HOKPA Hairbands for Women 4 PackSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Fortunately for anyone who spends their mornings pushing hair out of their faces, knotted headbands are still a thing. This four-pack contains the basics: yellow, pink, dark green, and black. The best part about this pack is the cross knot design. It makes the headband look more structured and gives less of an Alice in Wonderland vibe and more of a brunch look. The wide fabric covers a headband base to help it stay in place during Pilates sessions and is less likely to pinch your temples like most thin bands do after an hour of wear. Plus, they’re soft enough for fine hair and stretchy enough for thick hair! With four colors, there is a headband for almost every outfit you plan to wear.
12. Striped Cotton Headbands in Four Shades for Sweaty Workouts
SENMAY 4pcs Striped Headbands (4 Pieces)See price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Stripes are like the universally flattering white tee of prints, you can’t really go wrong with them. This four-pack features workout friendly cotton that breathes and wicks sweat. What really sells me on these is the 3.4 inch width. These are wide enough to pull back baby hairs and grown out bangs, but narrow enough to sit nicely under a baseball cap without looking like a sweatband from 1987. No slipping during Downward Dog and no adjusting in between burpees thanks to the elastic back. Use one for spin class, another for washing your face, a third on a hike and a fourth when you’re in between root touch ups. Toss these in the washing machine and repeat.
13. Black Bow Headband Dripping in Rhinestones and Pearls
PANTIDE Black Bow Jeweled Knotted HeadbandSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Bachelorette parties have a uniform now, and it consists of a white slip dress, sash, and a sad plastic tiara. But here is a potential upgrade for the bride who hates the tiara part. The black satin bow is on a wide knotted band that is absolutely crusted in rhinestones and pearls, which sounds like a lot… and it is. But the 1.5-inch width means it won’t go too much into costume territory. The elastic back (4.7 inches unstretched) means it actually will stay in place while dancing, unlike every single metal headband that has ever dug into your skull by hour two. This works for weddings, prom, a NYE party, or even a Tuesday (especially if you want your ponytail to look like it’s trying). Comes in black, which is the whole point.
14. Velvet Headband Covered in Rhinestone Conversation Hearts for Valentine’s Day
MOLOCH Pink Heart HeadbandSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
These conversation heart themed headbands are not your average accessories. Adorned with sweet heart sayings such as “KISS Me”, these headbands are anything but basic. The added top knot detail on these headbands pull off the look fabulously without compromising on the kitsch. The crushed velvet band on these headbands is what makes this accessory a must-have. The fabric is soft and grips the heads of users without pulling the hair, PLUS, the fabric is stretchy, making it super comfortable to wear at all types of events, be it a country concert or an event you might be photographed at. This headband is a great accessory to wear with a white t shirt and jeans on February 14, or you can wear it as a fun accessory to a Galentine’s brunch. The added rhinestones on the headband are very flashy and look like cheap champagne. Given the occasion, the look of the headband is very on point.
15. Pink Velvet Heart Headband Bejeweled With Rhinestones and Charms
MOLOCH Valentine’s Day HeadbandSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Small hot pink hearts, an entire army of rhinestones, a top knot, and velvet crush fabric. It’s everything and more, in the most positive way. The stretching velvet will do all the work, gripping the fabric without the pinch at your temples, and the knot construction means you can laugh as loose as you want. For Galantines brunch, pair your hair accessory with a white T-Shirt and some jeans, or wear it to the Eras Tour rewatch party for a full commitment. The hearts shine like faux jewelry in perfect way, like a good costume. Whether your hair is thick or fine, this is gentle enough for you. Consider your Valentine’s Day hair plans done.
16. Bright Green Sponge Headband and Wristband Set for Skincare Nights
VELSCRUN Spa Headband (6 Pieces)See price on AmazonSee on Amazon
This set includes six items designed to keep your hair and sleeves away from your face while putting on your skincare. The sponge headband is bright green, and has a bow on it, which might be an aesthetic win, or if you aren’t into bows, it might be an aesthetic loss. The four matching wristbands are what really do the job though. The tubular, pleated style fabric helps absorb the water that runs down your arms while you are washing the cleanser off your face. The headband is more cloud than terrycloth too, and soft and lightweight. Whether it’s a double cleanse, sheet mask, clay mask, or long soak, it’s really a good tool. It’s a great small gift for a teen, a roommate, or anyone who has been complaining about wet pajama cuffs.
17. An American Flag Knot Headband Studded With Red and Blue Rhinestones
NVENF American Flag HeadbandSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
This is a simple accessory that captures the spirit of the Fourth of July while avoiding an Uncle Sam costume. It’s red and blue striped with a very comfortable to wear thin band that has soft fabric that touches the scalp, no grip teeth, and is super sparkly and shiny to capture the holiday spirit while avoiding that depressing craft store look. For the cookout, it’s best to pair this with a white sundress while a plain tee with denim cut offs would be a great look if you want to keep your patriotism to your head. You can also use this for Memorial Day and Labor Day if you really want to stay committed.
18. Six Polka Dot Bow Headbands With Stand-Up Bunny Ears
WJYX BOWS 6pcs/set Polka Dot Bow Headbands (6 Pieces)See price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Polka dots and bunny ears, six ways. The headbands have different colorways and patterns so you aren’t stuck swapping the same headband multiple times for every season. Easter brunch, a Playboy bunny Halloween costume, a 1950s photo shoot, bachelorette weekend in Nashville. The fabric is stretchable and soft enough for all day wear without causing a headache like other wide headbands do by hour two. The bunny ears have a wire in the base of the ears so they keep their shape through wind, hugs, and dancing. The prints don’t fade and the stitching is durable. Buy once, and wear multiple times throughout costume cycles. Practical, if a bunny-eared headband can be called that.
19. Patriotic Knot Headband Layered in Pearls and Rhinestones
Gmmidea 4th of July HeadbandsSee price on AmazonSee on Amazon
Some patriotic accessories can appear a bit costume-like and gaudy, however, this headband is quite the opposite and offers a more refined look. There are red, white, and blue pearls and rhinestones twisted into a knot on one side of the headband. The headband is wrapped in soft fabric on the outside, which means it won’t have irritating plastic digging into your scalp and making you uncomfortable after a few hours of wearing it. The wider band will ensure an intentional look while still allowing for all day comfort. Great for Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Flag Day, and Election Day. Definitely a headband you can style with a white linen dress to elevate your look for the occasion. You could also wear it with a Budweiser tank top for a more casual and committed vibe. Either way, it works! The rhinestones twinkle and light in a way that surprises you for something this inexpensive. The crystals photograph really well, so you’ll get lots of good shots with it.
