Wake up, check the clock, panic. I know this scenario all too well, especially later in the week.
I often find myself throwing my hair in a bun, adding a spritz of dry shampoo and getting ready for my first Zoom meeting of the day. As a '90s kid, I'm no stranger to headbands (and bad bangs), but I've recently rediscovered the accessory in adulthood — and it's become my secret to hiding bad hair days.
Headbands are the perfect solution if you're too lazy or don't have enough time to do your hair. I've noticed more and more retailers offering different styles to help you channel your inner Blair Waldorf. I'm currently loving the knotted, structured look, but there are also soft headbands and ones made for working out.
Here are some incredibly stylish (and affordable) headbands that will go with basically any outfit.
