Who doesn't love a cute headband?! Regardless of your hair length or style, a headband is a cute, fashionable way to keep those pesky strands off your face. Whether you have bangs that occasionally annoy you, hate the feeling of your hair sticking to your face during a spin class, or just like to throw one on as an accessory, wearing a headband can serve countless purposes. And, they're a quick, easy way to transform or upgrade any look with minimal effort.

Your bathroom may be full of hair ties, bobby pins, or scrunchies to up your hair accessory game. (Scrunchies are having a moment. Here are the best scrunchies to dress up and protect your hair.) But, a headband is a more bold hair accessory that can tame your locks while making a serious statement.

There's a headband for every style and occasion, too. They come in tons of different widths, styles, colors, and fabrics. Some are purely meant for aesthetic reasons, decked out with rhinestones, jewels, or embroidery—they can even be worn on your wedding day. Others are meant to be nonslip and extra comfy to endure your longest, sweatiest workouts. Some are even specifically designed to comfortably block out noise when you sleep.

If you're looking for some new headbands, below are 17 fun options for you to choose from. Every option suits a different style or situation, so it's likely you're going to want to grab a few.
