"I’m a huge fan of a texturising product,” Irwin agrees. “Spraying that on the roots of the hair will give it more support and so you have more lift in your style. "Root Lift spray is fantastic too - I like ghd's - as is the best dry shampoo," she adds. Using shine-boosting products is another great way to elevate your look, particularly if your headband is made from a very shiny material.

How to choose the best headbands for short hairGet a grip: Once you have positioning nailed, your next consideration is keeping your headband for short hair in place. With short hair, you have less to anchor it and not all headbands will come with a built-in grip. “A good way of keeping headbands in place on short hair is by using grips and hairpins,” says Dublin. If you want to keep the grips concealed, place them towards the ends of your band so that they are out of sight. Consider fabric: “Wearing a headscarf as a headband is great for short hair,” says Dublin. "If you have a curly hairstyle or afro hair, silk prevents friction damage." But hairstylist Wilson explains that “silk is best to protect your style, but isn’t always the most amazing fabric for short hair as it may slip.” Look for silk or satin-covered sturdy bands that sit across your head comfortably (not too tight or loose) to avoid this. Dublin also recommends trying a headband with grips if you want it to stay in place or hold a particular style. Accessorising short hairstyles with a headband is a really nice way to add a little extra something to your look, or even disguise oily roots.
