Pain-free headbands

If you have long hair, you’ve probably worn a headband, and know how useful they are to hold back stray stands when washing your face, how easily they add a preppy twist to your style’ and, what a pain they can be after a few hours of those sharp plastic tips digging in behind your ears.

Finally, someone’s come up with a solution: Goody’s new Ouchless Headbands with Flex Tips have a contoured shape designed to fit comfortably around your head, with a curved profile so that the ends tuck further behind ears, avoiding any painful pressure points. The tips of the ends on either side bend freely for a customized fit, and are coated with soft rubber, so there are no sharp edges. The plastic of the band itself is also more flexible than that used for standard headbands, so you can stretch it wide open to put it on (great if you have bangs you don’t want to push back with the rest of your hair) without fear of it snapping.

My only question about the guaranteed-comfortable design of these headbands: Why didn’t someone think of it sooner?

Goody Ouchless Headbands come in medium and wide sizes, available in basic black, classic tortoise, or chic silver for $3.00 – $5.00 each. Or, pick up a value-pack of three medium bands (one in each colour) for $6.50.
