FLOWER,BOW,POLKA,SEQUIN DETAILED,SPOILT FOR CHOICE

An Alice band or headband is a clothing accessory worn in the hair or around the forehead, usually to hold hair away from the face or eyes. Headbands generally consist of a loop of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped piece of flexible plastic or metal. They come in assorted shapes and sizes an d are used for both practical and fashion purposes.
There are many kinds of headbands such as, leathered, plastic, metal, fabric, toothed and novelty. The leather headbands are usually glued onto a harder plastic headband, or they are hand-stitched.

Plastic headbands, which are most common, can be wavy, straight or angled and come in many colors. Metal can also be used to form and support leather headbands.

Metal-only headbands may be plain or decorated, sometimes with precious jewels. Fabric headbands are comfortable because they do not dig into the head. They usually have an elastic band, so that the headband forms to the head.

The toothed headbands have comb-like teeth that are connected to the top part of the headband. Their teeth ensure that the hair stays in place

. Novelty headbands can be used for holidays and may have decorations attached such as bunny ears, reindeer ears, Santa Claus hats and others.

Headbands are often are part of a larger fashion statement - they can be color coded and matched accordingly to one's outfit.
