I’ve always been dying to try cute ribbon hairbands, and these hairbands from Active Accessories seemed just the perfect ones to try!
The colors mine came in!
These were very cute and look great as an accessory on my wrist, instead of the other boring hair bands I usually wear. The ones I received came in shades of pink, blue, silver, black and polka dots. They don’t cut off circulation, unlike many of the other hairbands I wear. As someone with thick, curly, unruly hair, carrying hairbands with me at all times is a must.
The only downside is I’m not sure these would necessarily hold my hair up during a super active, jumping around, exercise class due to how crazy my hair is (I struggle to find any type of hairband that holds up my hair well). In fact, I usually find myself having to tightly wrap two different hairbands to keep up a messy bun (and three for ballet buns).
These both match a new leotard I just ordered!
But I’ve found they’re really useful for two reasons: when I want to throw my hair up on the go (at work, while running errands, etc.) or as a way to style my hair with a cute ribbon to look cute when I go to ballet. They function well as the third hairband I use to hold up my ballet buns.
Here’s a quick overview of how I felt:
PROs:
- cute
- doesn’t cut off circulation
- works in a pinch
- easy to take with you
CONs:
- doesn’t hold up my uber thick hair well for strenuous activity
- bit on the pricey side at $7.99
