Need help-headband & updos??

OK, my hair sucks lately. It's thin and making me cranky. I'm going to a wedding next month and am trying to find an updo to show my hairdresser. I think I am going to have her put in my add on extensions that I used for my wedding for some volume.

I just want a simple updo (my hair is curly) and I want to wear my hair all back. I think I want to try a thin headband to keep my hair out of my face. I am having trouble finding good picture, if anyone is bored and wants to search for me, I would really appreciate it, I'm having very little luck. This is a basic idea of the type of headband:

ETA: Also can anyone recommend a place that sells nice headbands? TIA!

J. Crew had some, too. Try Claires, maybe? They are usually accessory central. Or what about a thin satin ribbon?

Just wanted to say I love this look. I was at Nordstrom today and they have a huge selection of these headbands, although it made me sick to see that they charge like $58.00 for one.

I must have slippery hair or a weird head because every time I try to wear it like that, it slips off my head.

I absolutely love this look! I agree with all the stores listed, I've always had luck at them, and even Icing, which is a similar store to Claire's, I think they're owned by the same company or something.

Re: Need help-headband & updos??

I find that these slip out of my hair all the time, so I bought the really thin ones that are elastic and go all the way around your head at CVS. They have a little rubber on the inside so they don't slip. I had bangs cut and when i don't feel like doing them (pretty much every morning) I wear my hair like the photo and the headbands stay in all day.

Me too! I love this look and just can't pull it off... It never stays put in the back, and it if I have the front closer to my forehead (like in the pictures), it always slips to the back. Maybe my head is too big??? Chat Icon

See, those are the ones I have, and they still slip out of my hair!

I'm going to just put it up and keep it curly. Not too neat, a little tossled (?).
