13 Ways To Wear a Knit Headband

I'm always trying to find easy new ways to wear my hair with a headband. 

Here are 13 of my favorite ways! 

1) Headband Over Hair

Simply throw your headband on over your hair. This is probably the most popular way to wear a headband

2) Headband Under Hair

This is anther popular way to wear a headband. You pull the headband down to your neck and then pull it to the top your head.

3) Pony tail

Here's a cute way to wear a headband! Simply pull your hair into a pony tail and then put a headband on. This is great for keeping the hair out of your face.

4) Low Up-Do

This is a little more difficult. I put my hair into 2 loose pig tail braids and then arranged them in a low up-do with bobby pins. This hair style reminds me of the 20's.

5) Pigtail Braids

 Just separate your hair into 2 parts and braid away! 

6) Side Sock Bun

For this hair style, it's best to have wavy hair. You'll also need a sock to create your sock bun! I love this hair style for special occasions. 

7) Headband Under Messy Side-Hair

For a messier look, you can tease your hair, brush it all to the side, and then pull on your headband.

8) Headband Over Messy Side-Hair

Do the same thing as the previous style, just put the headband over your hair rather than under.

9) Side Pony Tail

This is pretty easy! Just put your headband and then pull your hair into a side pony.

10) Side Braid

I like to braid my hair to the side before I put on the headband. 

11) Sock Bun

This is like the Side Sock Bun but it is a little less fancy! Once again, you'll need a sock.

12) Pony Tail Braid

This hair style is great if you want to make a fashion statement. Put your hair in a pony tail and then fishtail braid it. 

13) Side French Braid

You'll need to be able to french braid for this hair style. I started with my hair like it was for the messy side hair. After that, I began to french braid it. 

Hope this gave you some ideas for the next time you wear a headband! What are your favorite headband hair styles?

Tips for Longer Hair

I've got long hair that grows very fast. I trimmed my hair a few weeks ago and within a week I was sure it had all grown back. I'm often asked how I get my hair to grow fast. Though some of it is likely genetic, I'll give you some of my long hair secrets.

1. When you condition your hair, comb through it! I keep a comb in my shower and after I condition my hair I let it sit for a few minutes and then I comb through it before I rinse my hair. This help me avoid tangles and fight split ends.

2. Eat healthy. Eggs, vegetables, salmon, chicken, and nuts are just a few of the foods that are great for your hair. I eat eggs almost every day and I drink lots of juiced vegetables.

3. Avoid using your blow-dryer, straightener, and curling iron unless absolutely necessary. Heat can be very damaging to your hair. I haven't blow-dried my hair in over a year and I rarely use I curling iron. I stick to foam curlers and air drying my hair.

4. OATMEAL! I love oatmeal. It's delicious and it's good for your hair. Not only can you eat it, but you can also apply it to your hair. Oatmeal is actually in many shampoos.
