I’ve developed a serious aversion for these hippie headbands. When I first started seeing them wrapped around people’s foreheads, I thought they were fun and even though I’m not the type to pull-off such a look, I loved the hippie-chic vibe. Now that the headbands are ubiquitous though they’ve lost their freshness and innovative quality — both Mischa Barton and Nicole Richie are even selling them as part of their fashion lines! Also most of the time the bands looks very uncomfortable — all the ones I’ve tried on, even for the short time they were wrapped around my head, were tight enough to give me a headache and some of my friends have even end-up with marks from the band cutting into their skin! May I suggest a regular headband instead? Some suggestions after the jump!

Thin Metallic Leather Headband, $65

Wide Feather Headband, $158 — for something a little more avant-garde!
