The humble headband is back. This is how to wear it in 2023.

With Y2k hair accessories like bows and claw clips making a major comeback, you best believe your pretty little eyes that the nostalgic hair trends aren't slowing down yet.

Because the humble headband is back. And it wants your number.

Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Jennifer Lawrence are wearing varying iterations of the once-popular headband, and they're now popping up all over TikTok and Instagram. 

Once seen as a slightly daggy hair accessory (chances are, you'll remember wearing them at school!), it's now been given a new breath of life in the fashion world — and celebrities are obsessed with them.

These days, the headband has a nonchalant, chicness around it. And the revival just seems timely and... right. 

Most recently, actress Jennifer Lawrence was seen sporting a black, padded Dior headband. It screamed minimalist. Polished. Trendy. 

It's very much that 'preppy girl aesthetic' vibe that doesn't seem to be going anywhere, anytime soon.

And well, if it's good enough for Jennifer Lawrence...

It's hands-down the easiest way to elevate your everyday hair look without making too much of an effort.

And it's not just the celebrities that've been calling upon the revival of the headband. 

Fashion and beauty influencers from all around the world have been spotted rocking the old-school beauty accessory on social media, too — giving us all the inspo we need to get back on board the classic hair trend.

While big bouncy blowouts, curled and styled hair is still very much on trend, there's just something in the ease of the headband trend for easy, everyday styling — especially when you want to rock your natural texture and feel confident without annoying flyaways and cowlicks spoiling the fun. (You know the feels).
