Why Braided Headband Styles?
It’s an easy way to introduce a cool accent into your daily hairstyle that will also keep your locks from falling into your face. You will be able to do yourself all these hairstyles. There is a detailed tutorial to every ‘do in our list!
#1: Double Braided Headband
For this style, you will need to know how to French braid. Hair will be braided twice, side-by-side along the hairline. Secure the braids near your ear with an elastic, pulling remaining strands into a messy side bun.
#2: Simple French Braided Band
If you want to learn how to do a braided headband, it’s really best to learn how to French braid first. Even if you can’t usually French braid your own hair, you will find it much easier to accomplish when styling to the side. You have plenty of strands to work with and you can easily see what you’re doing. This braid is simply pinned behind the ear to create an effective headband look.
#3: Dutch Fishtail Braid
A Dutch fishtail braid brings some maturity and elegance to an otherwise typical schoolyard braided headband design. After braiding a thick front section of hair, pull all of the strands into a low ponytail and secure it with a strong elastic. This hairstyle works beautifully on thick hair, but can be styled well on any texture.
#4: Front Braided Band
Something unique but lovely is on the horizon when you incorporate a small braid across the forehead into your next style. Your hair will need to be rather long to pull this look off, but it works well on both thin and thick hair. Don’t make the braid to big, or it will just look gaudy rather than creatively elegant.
#5: Braided Headband Updo
For this look, simply make two low braids and then pull them up and over the top of your head. Pin in place to secure these modern Heidi braids that look beautiful for both professional and casual occasions.
#6: Subtle Side Braid
Here’s a simple braided headband tutorial that’s easy enough to learn on the first try. The trick is in strategically parting the hair in directions that deliver the biggest effect. Leave some side bangs in the front while combing back one side of the hair. Braid, starting at the part towards the ear, securing in place as you go. Curl your hair to soften up the style.
#7: Double Front Headband Braid
Formal, stylish and truly unique, this hairstyle wraps around the forehead for the illusion of circular braids. If you don’t like your high forehead, this is a great concealer, and the thicker your hair is, the easier it will be to create this style.
#8: French Braided Headband
French braid your hair across the center of the top section and add in some soft curls for a finished look. Combining a headband style with curls can quickly transform this style from something simple into a fancy appearance that’s appropriate for all occasions.
#9: Thin Braided Headband Tutorial
For this look, all you need is a comb, hairpin and thin elastic. Take a thin section of hair and braid it, continuing the style by wrapping it across the head into a headband braid. Use a hair elastic and secure with a pin to hold the ends of the braid together throughout the day.
#10: Banded Together
Using one thick braid or two thinner ones, this simple headband style allows hair to be up and out of the face without having to resort to a bun or ponytail. Fun and feminine, this style works on all hair types and lengths – if your hair isn’t long enough to go across the head, combine two braids that meet in the middle.
#11: Headband Braid with Body
Tease the top underneath hair to bring body and boost to your braided look. Wrap two braids across the top of your head, bringing them forward enough to allow the “puff” of top hair to be the focal point. Then, either allow your locks to flow free or braid them together for a gorgeous Roman goddess-inspired style.
#12: DIY Waterfall Headband
Waterfall braids look so complex, but they’re actually very easy to learn. In fact, this style doesn’t even use a real one – rather, just comb hair back, make a thin braid and then pull pieces from the front through the braid, placing it across the head.
#13: Sweet and Simple Braided Hair Headband
You won’t need a step by step guide to successfully pull off this style on the first try. Simply braid or twist one side strand and pin it across – allowing bangs, curls and top hair to flow free. This looks absolutely stunning on long hair.
#14: Intricate Braid Headband
Lovely and intricate, it’s not as difficult as it looks. Simply follow the link to the video below to learn how to pull off this gorgeously creative style.
#15: Braided Headbands of Varying Thickness
Braided hair headbands don’t need to be the same every time – you can mix it up by working in French braids, waterfall braids or fishtails. You can also vary the thickness of the hair used in the braid – ranging from thin to very thick.
#16: Twisted Hairband
There are so many ways to play with braided headbands – adding extensions, styling a waterfall braid or even a faux fishtail. 3 cool hairstyles in 1 tutorial are waiting for you!
#17: Mini Braided Hair Headband
This 3 strand braid is the same as the rest of the basic headband braids, only it is much thinner. The smaller the braid, the more delicate appearance you get – this is a great choice for long, straight hair that just needs the slightest of accentuation.
#18: Two-Strand Braided Headband
Messy hair is well-loved by today’s young women, so jump on board by trying this hairstyle that only requires two strands and some height. Pin in place to keep things secure, but don’t worry too much if something falls out of place. With this hairstyle, a beautiful mess is encouraged.
#19: Center Braid Headband
Braided headbands are loads of fun because you can position them anywhere around the head to mix up your look. For this one in particular, the braid is placed center and back, far behind the ear line.
#20: Braided Crown Style
Create a headband with your hair that is thick and lovely. This style incorporates 2-3 braids, pinned directly on top of the head for a secure, all-day hold. Curl your hair with a large barrel iron for elegance all around.
Headband braids are so “in” right now, you’re bound to see a whole variety whenever you’re out and about. Take a cue from these beautiful examples and create your own look – it doesn’t matter if your hair is long, short, thin or thick – there’s a braided headband that will work well for you.
