How to Wear a Headband: 7 Tips from Heavenly Himalayan

Headbands have long been a versatile accessory for fashion and functionality, but learning how to wear a headband in ways that suit your style and needs can make all the difference. At Heavenly Himalayan, our headbands are more than just accessories – they’re symbols of empowerment, sustainability, and positive change. Made by skilled Nepali women using raw, natural wool, each headband brings with it a unique energy, crafted with purpose.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through 7 ways to wear a headband that align style, comfort, and the essence of Heavenly Himalayan’s mission. Let’s dive into these tips and discover how to elevate your look with these meaningful headbands.

1. Classic Across the Forehead Look

For a relaxed, boho vibe, try wearing your headband across your forehead. This style is perfect for casual outings, festivals, or adding a bit of carefree charm to any outfit.

How to achieve this look: Place the headband across your forehead and let your hair flow freely behind it. Adjust as needed for comfort.

Why choose this style: This style not only frames your face but also adds a youthful, spirited look.

2. The Crown Chakra Alignment

Inspired by the essence of Heavenly Himalayan headbands, aligning your crown chakra can add a unique, spiritual layer to your style.

How to achieve this look: Position the headband slightly above your hairline, resting just above your crown.

Why choose this style: When you wear a headband in alignment with your crown chakra, you’re not only making a style choice but also engaging with the energy that flows through your headband, crafted by the hands of empowered women in Nepal.

3. Keep it Cozy with the Earmuff Style

As the weather cools down, your Heavenly Himalayan wool headband can double as a cozy winter accessory to keep your ears warm.

How to achieve this look: Place the headband over your ears and pull it snugly around your head. Adjust as needed for warmth and comfort.

Why choose this style: Made from natural, handwoven wool, these headbands are perfect for keeping warm while looking stylish.

4. Top-Knot Twist for Extra Flair

For a little extra personality, try pairing your headband with a top-knot or bun.

How to achieve this look: Pull your hair into a high bun and place the headband around your head, just below the bun.

Why choose this style: This look brings a modern twist to your outfit and keeps your hair in place, all while adding the warmth and texture of wool.

5. The Everyday Hair-Push Back

Simple and effective, wearing your headband to push your hair back is a practical, chic way to keep hair out of your face.

How to achieve this look: Slide your headband over your head, pulling it back just enough to keep hair off your face.

Why choose this style: Ideal for both work and play, this look is a timeless, no-fuss option that keeps you comfortable and polished throughout the day.

6. Wear It with Loose Waves

Pairing a headband with loose, natural waves offers a soft, romantic look, perfect for any casual day.

How to achieve this look: Style your hair in loose waves and place the headband gently on your head.

Why choose this style: This style works beautifully with the earthy, natural materials used in Heavenly Himalayan headbands, giving off a relaxed, organic vibe.

7. The Low Ponytail Companion

If you prefer a more structured look, try pairing your headband with a low ponytail.

How to achieve this look: Secure your hair in a low ponytail and add your headband around your head just above the ears.

Why choose this style: This look is ideal for a chic, put-together appearance that’s also practical for busy days or staying active.

Professor Reames, I was looking at the so called burial crown of Philip and I was wondering what’s the relation between that type of crown and the diadem?

None. They're two different things. First, "crowns" are typically made of plant stems woven together. Later, gold versions of this appear, like the crown in Royal Tomb II. (As you suggest with "so-called," that is probably not Philip's Tomb, whatever tags Greece or the media place on it. Why is a long, detailed story I don't have time to get into but there's literally years' worth of publishing about the identity of the bones in Royal Tombs I and II.)

These gold burial crowns are found ALL OVER the north/Balkan area by the Hellenistic period, but they show up before that (the ossuary of the Spartan general Brasidas at Amphipolis had one). This crown below is from the ginormous tomb of Seuthes III of Thrace, and looked to both Ann and I like a "I can do it bigger and better!" to the Macedonian vault tombs. It dates to the early Hellenistic period. The gold out of that tomb (found in the Kasanlak Museum) is impressive. But you'll see these things a lot. The one from Royal Tomb II is distinctive mostly by its size and attention to detail.

Crowns served lots of purposes. The four big atheletic Games in ancient Greece, including the Olympics and Pythian, were called "stephanic" because the only prize the winner got was a crown. (And not a gold one, either; it was either olive, laurel, pine, or wild celery, depending on the Contest.) It was the HONOR associated with the crown that mattered. (Stephanos = "crown" in Greek, if you or one of your friends is named "Stephen/Steven" or any variation.)

Anyway, crowns show up in all sorts of contexts from drinking parties (symposia) to burials--as with Tomb II. They don't imply anything royal, although they do usually imply some sort of honoring or "dressing up."

"Diadema" just means a headband. We see these all over, even before Alexander. It was designed to keep hair out of your face, often during sports, and might be made of leather or ribbon or some other flexible substance. The first image shows a guy tying one ... the ends are what he's holding in his hands. The pieces broke off the statue, so all that's left is what's around his head and what's in his hands. The second shows in marble the cloth back tie. Many statues had diadems attached in some other material that has since been lost. Remember, these statues were all painted and sometimes had "added bits" like semi-precious stones for eyes, or gold crowns, that later disappeared. So if you see an indention around the crown of a Greek (or Roman) statue? It's missing its diadem!

It was repurposed as women's jewelry too. See below. These start becoming prominent in the Hellenistic Era after ATG, but we do find them earlier, as noted. The diadem as a ROYAL symbol gets connected via Alexander, and then his Successors. (Coin of Antiochus below with his father Seleukos I's image in diadem.)

The diadem as ROYAL symbol seems to be specifically ancient near eastern. The Persian Great King employed it as sort of "action crown," different from the upright tiara that would fall off if he had to move around much (like fight). The Persian royal diadem was either white and blue striped or white and purple striped cloth, and was tied around the head so that the ends dangled.

Apparently, Alexander adopted it instead of the upright tiara (whether he really never wore the tiara is debated). Sometimes, he tied it around his hat (presumably the kausia, a special Macedonian hat that looked kinda like an ancient beret, but there doesn't seem much room on that for a band, so maybe a petasos, or floppy straw sunhat).

Anyway, the gold-covered silver circlet in Royal Tomb II at Vergina is a dressed up version, and one (of several) reasons people have argued it's not Philip's tomb. It's very unclear that the king used a diadem in Macedonia before Alexander. I'd argue they didn't, but admit we lack much evidence either way, except literary.

So while you wear both a crown and a diadem on the ol' noggin', these are two different objects. The later conflation of "crown" with "diadem" = a symbol of royalty, is medieval, or at most, late Roman.

pre-emptive caveat to say obviously most protestants aren't this unhinged, just the circles I run in on facebook tend to have more unhinged protestants than catholics.

That being said, the protestant women that I see online are 10x's more wild than the catholic women I see. The latest being "split ends didn't exist before the fall, and so the only reason I cut my hair is to trim off split ends. They won't exist in heaven" like wot???? wot mate???? what are you saying??????

I've been a huge fan of fablebands since I won a giveaway of theirs in 2020. I'm not quite sure just how many designs I have, but the collecting has slowed down a bit as I'm more selective on what I buy. That said, they recently released a Love, Theoretically inspired design called Physics & Chill. It matches the original cover perfectly and I adore all the nods to the story (the Go board, the diabetes ribbon, the CHEESE).

Love, Theoretically was my favorite of the three STEMinist books. The ace-spec rep was *chef's kiss* and not talked about nearly enough. I know these books aren't everyone's cup of tea, but definitely give Love, Theoretically a try. It felt different than the other two while still being the same, if that makes sense.

fun fact: originally my Egyptian fashion video series was going to have a video just about hair styling, but I cut it because while I had some info it didn't feel like enough for a segment. I do at some point want to do something about that: maybe a follow up video once I find more info or a post series.
