Headband
A headband is a clothing accessory worn in the hair or around the forehead, usually to hold hair away from the face or eyes. Headbands generally consist of a loop of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped piece of flexible plastic or metal. They come in assorted shapes and sizes and are used for both fashion and practical or utilitarian purposes.
In the UK, Horseshoe-shaped headbands are sometimes called “Alice bands” after the headbands that Alice is often depicted wearing in Through the Looking-Glass.
