Spring and Summer Headbands

Headbands, big trend for spring and summer.

 Warmer weather is not yet in Chicago, but just because the weather hasn’t caught on yet doesn’t mean that you can’t prepare yourself for the warmer temperatures when we can get fresh air and open up our doors and windows!!!

Headbands have a dual purpose. They allow you you to mix fashion and function.
Headbands are so easy and comfortable to wear,  whether worn around the forehead, at your hair line, on top of your head.

You can add an elegant touch, and a splash of color to any outfit. They help you to collect hair back, clearing your face and allowing you to control those rebellious locks, tame the curls or play sports without worrying about hair sticking to your face.

Hair ornaments and jewelry have been used since time immemorial. 
The modern headbands, are believed to have its origins on the garlands that were used by the Greeks and Romans between 475 and 330 BC   
During the 1960s, the diadem became a popular style of the hippie era for men, women and children. 
During the 1990s, the headband evolved to be considered a serious accessory designed to be fashionable in their own right.
