Headbands

A recent rise in fashion has been shown in the area of headwear, namely headbands.  They are used in society for many different purposes from holding back a person’s hair to merely just being an accessory.  For example, in the television show Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester’s character Blair Waldorf utilizes headbands in the first two seasons very well.  In practically every episode she wears a very sophisticated headband that is an accessory that adds to her classic “school girl” look.  On the other hand, a lot of athletes wear headbands mainly for the purpose of keeping their hair out of their face.  There are many different types of headbands that are either pre-made, like the more fashionable ones tend to be, and home-made ones, like the ones athletes make out of pre-wrap.  Headbands come in all sorts of shapes and sizes for people to accessorize themselves with.  They can be made of different materials, like plastic or nylon, and they can either be stylized and fancy or just plain-looking.  Society uses headbands to either make a fashion statement by distinguishing themselves from others, or to just merely make sure that their hair doesn’t bother them as they participate in an activity.
