2、 Guidelines for Choosing Hair Hoops
When it comes to selecting hair bands, we all start with their appearance and price, but little do we know that this is just the most basic selection method, and we often cannot find the desired style. So how should we choose correctly? Three methods tell you
(1) Select based on material
No matter what you choose, the material is crucial as it determines the durability and aesthetics of the sub item. The common materials for making hair bands include mulberry silk, plastic, and canvas, each with its own characteristics and suitable for different people.
1. Mulberry silk
Mulberry silk, also known as natural silk, is a fiber formed by the coagulation of silk secretion during the cocooning of mature silkworms. The surface of the material is smooth and delicate, with a soft and comfortable touch, and is full of luster, showcasing extraordinary quality, suitable for girls who pursue quality.

It has a warm winter and cool summer effect when worn, without stuffiness or accumulation of moisture, making it suitable for sweating babies. It combines quality and beauty, making it more suitable for mature and light mature girls, exuding a graceful and atmospheric style.
2. Plastic
Plastic is also very common in hair bands, with low production costs and strong wear resistance. It can have a long service life without careful care, making it suitable for girls who often work outdoors. Plastic headbands may give people a sense of affordability, and are prone to discoloration and aging. Women who pursue texture should choose carefully, and the texture is too hard. If the size and head circumference difference is too large, it is easy to not fit, wear or squeeze the head. It is recommended to try it out before purchasing.
3. Canvas
Canvas material is soft and comfortable, has good wear resistance, and is very affordable. Canvas is easy to print and dye, often with bright colors and diverse styles, which is in line with the fashion views of young people. It is suitable for students and young trendy women who pursue individuality and change. Different hair types are also suitable for different types. If your hair is thick and fluffy, it is recommended to choose flat decorative styles such as polka dots and prints to reduce the overall volume of the head. If the hair quality is more comfortable and soft, it is best to choose three-dimensional decorations with bows, cartoon patterns, pearls, etc., and appropriately increase the volume of hair to achieve visual balance.
(2) Select based on width
The different widths of hairbands have different decorative and fixing effects, bringing different visual experiences. Therefore, the width size cannot be ignored when selecting. According to different widths, it can be roughly divided into narrow and wide thick types.
1. Narrow and thin type
Hair bands with a width of less than 1 cm belong to the narrow and thin type, as their volume is relatively small and their ability to fix hair is limited, mainly serving as decoration. But its style is exquisite and unique, lightweight and mini. Narrow and thin hair not only has limited fixing ability, but also has a weak presence. It is not recommended for girls with curly or thick hair to use, as it is easy to be buried and does not have a decorative effect. More suitable for girls with thin and soft hair, small heads, and short stature.
2. Wide and thick type
There is no limit to the width of wide and thick hairbands, some are as wide as two fingers, while others occupy half of the head. Their ability to fix hair and presence are far greater than those of thin and narrow hairbands. Because of this characteristic, it can basically meet the needs of girls with different head circumference and hair types. Although it has high adaptability, there are still slight differences in the selection of different head sizes. For girls with small head circumference, it is recommended to wear solid colors and unadorned styles to avoid excessive attraction and appear heavy on the head and light on the feet; On the contrary, it is recommended to choose a style with trendy decorative elements for the big head circumference.
(3) Select based on design
When choosing a headband, you also need to pay attention to its design. Generally speaking, hairbands come in three designs: combed or not, combed or with a vertical tail, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, making them suitable for different audiences. Let's take a look together.
1. No comb teeth
The design of the hairband that is close to the head is smooth and without comb teeth, which is called a comb free design. This type of hairband design is relatively smooth and has little fixation ability, making it more suitable for decoration. Because it lacks any fixed ability and is prone to slipping, it is not suitable for girls with soft and smooth hair. However, the comb free design will not damage the established hairstyle after wearing, making it very suitable for girls with delicate curled hair. It is not afraid of messing up the hairstyle and can also serve as a decoration. If there is a requirement for fixed force, it is advisable to choose a combless style wrapped in cotton and linen material, using rough and uneven textures to increase friction appropriately.
2. With comb teeth
A comb design is a style with fine comb teeth that are close to the head. This design has strong fixation for hair and is suitable for girls with curly or thick hair. However, it is not recommended to use soft and well fitting hair, as it can easily expose the scalp or comb teeth.
3. With vertical tail
A headband with a vertical tail is quite common in the fashion industry. On the basis of traditional headbands, slender ribbons are integrated on both sides. This type of headband is more suitable for use in styling, with a light bow tied, full of artistic atmosphere, suitable for girls with a forest style and rural style. A headband with a hanging tail can be said to be the best choice for girls with less hair volume. The fixation of the headband can be enhanced by tying it at the tail end; You can also incorporate headbands and hanging tails into your hair arrangement, greatly increasing the sense of hair volume and having a unique decorative significance.
