    Long Hair Love

    If you have long hair or a child with long hair you know that headbands are a great way to keep hair in check while still being fashionable. I especially love little girl’s hairstyles that include novelty headbands. They keep hair tidy without pulling and add a special touch to holiday outfits.

    Creative headbands are an adorable addition to any outfit, but can get expensive. Some styles can cost more than $12 each!
