The hair trend that is going to be HUGE this year

Headbands have always been the Royals’ favourite hair accessory. From Princess Diana to the Duchess of Cambridge headbands have always been a stape of regal dress code. While Kate Middleton was one of the early adopters of the trend, major influencers across social media are posting pictures sporting the thick headbands.

The 90's favourite hair accessory is being embraced head-on by the who's who of fashion. These pretty padded headbands are practical and easy to sport. You can show-off your slick waves without having to struggle to keep them out of your face. What makes this fashion accessory a prized possession is its utility on a bad hair day. Moreover, many designers have gone a step ahead in increasing the wearability of these headbands by giving them a fashionable facelift, with floral, velvety and pearl-studded headbands. Runways and celebrities alike, everyone is loving the return of the favourite schoolgirl accessory.

Not just thick and padded bands, many Bollywood stars made a case for hairbands in different styles. Deepika Padukone wore a bejewelled band at Met Gala this year. And when it came to her red carpet moment at Cannes, she wore an eye-catching headwrap in pink colour.

Another star who made a case for headbands was Kareena Kapoor Khan. For her beach holiday, the actress wore a scarf-style hairband in yellow colour.
