It works!
To my surprise, this works in my medium length, somewhat thin hair. The inch-wide band has little teeth that control the hair but don’t hurt, and the flexible side arms don’t pinch. I wear it with both hearing aids and glasses - it sits slightly further back on my head than usual, but stays in place and is comfortable. Expensive for a hair band, but in my case worth it - it is the only one that I can tolerate for many hours.

Comfortable headband
This headband is so comfortable! The fit is great, not too tight on my head. It doesn’t pull your hair back tightly. Looks great! A little pricey but worth it. Will be getting more.

Not as much pinching, but still a flawed design
I still can’t believe I spent over $18 on a plastic headband, but all things considered it will work I guess. (And at least I didn’t have to resort to buying a $50 so called “French” headband—I mean, really? Is it made of gold? Nope? Just regular plastic like all the others you say? Ok. Dumb.)Anyways, I agree with some of the other reviewers about this headband — the concept makes a lot of sense, it stays in place, and generally it doesn’t pinch behind the ears quite as much as every other plastic headband I’ve tried recently in a vain attempt to replace an ancient, perfectly fitting one that finally broke. I dropped a star though because of the price combined with the fact that the ear pieces are about an inch too long on both sides for any human. It’s really nice that the ends of these earpieces are at least kind of thought about (which is a big step up from most!); they’re a softer more pliable plastic, they’re somewhat adjustable and they’re flexible. Yet after much fiddling, and several trials I still had to strategically crack/cut/remelt each ear piece about an inch up from the end to make the headband actually comfortable and wearable for more than an hour. (Luckily because the ear pieces are made out of a flexible material, it was much easier to alter this headband than the others I tried!) If I’d have left the ear pieces unaltered though, I guarantee they would have put too much pressure behind my ears and caused a headache quickly because they reached down SO far! I don’t know what this company is using to guide their design specs, but two inches of extra length is very excessive, and it needs to be reevaluated I think.And here’s my little rant combined with details about a weird little experiment I did to support my plea to this designer/manufacturer/company to shorten the headband earpieces or at least offer a few length choices maybe: I just don’t get why the earpieces on every plastic headband are so long—I mean I think I actually have a longer, more oval shaped head compared to others, so you’d think this wouldn’t be a problem for me but it is. So I figured if it’s an annoying problem for me with my long head, I can only imagine it’s a problem for most others, right? So I measured this headband from ear piece tip to earpiece tip: 17”. Then I approached every adult person I could (over 40 people total!) and had them put the headband on. Then I had them measure their head from just behind their left ear where they thought the earpiece SHOULD comfortably rest, over the top of their head, to just behind their right ear where the other earpiece SHOULD comfortably rest without discomfort and pressing on nerves and tendons, etc. The collected measurements (from quite a diverse sample set with different hair textures, etc.) didn’t differ more than half an inch from each other; they all fell within 14.5” to 15” which is MUCH shorter than the length of this and all the other plastic headbands I tested. So I really want to know WHO exactly are these companies designing these plastic headbands for with such long ear pieces? Yetis? I really think this company has something unique to offer with this new headband design, which is why I am taking the time to write this long review. If you’re not willing to rework your design to a shorter, more human length, could you at least think about offering us some length/size options?Just a thought and a little request for consideration anyways so I don’t have to keep doing the redesigning for you upon purchase...

Nice idea
The idea of this I think is great and the paisley color is beautiful, but for me it is the same problems that I have with other headbands. Granted, no headache, but the stems go to far down past my ears and they interfere with my glasses. Normally I end up breaking the ends off to shorten them, but I don't think it would work and for the price that this was, I'm not gonna try it. Maybe if I didn't wear glasses I could get use to feeling the stems down behind my ears, but the glasses hit the headband and it prevents them from sitting comfortably. Will put this away for extremely bad hair days.

No Pain! But here's how I had to customize them ...
I've never met a headband I could stand. Until now! I have these in 6 colors, and although they vary a tiny bit in snugness, they're all truly do-able! But not out-of-the-box. The teeny teeth on these bothers my skin, so I made them shallower by filling in the underside of the plastic with two layers. One layer is suede leather, rough side down for a good grip on my hair, and the other layer is what holds it down - Alien Tape. That stuff is amazing and is just the perfect adhesive, both in thickness and stickiness, to attach the leather to the hairband. Now, only the tips of the teeth touch my hair and I'm comfortable all day in these beautiful bands that, after just a couple of minutes, I forget are on my head!

Can wear all day
Absolutely love ❤️. Wish they offered it in white. I have a navy and black one with rhinestones, (I’ve had black one for several years and sadly 3 rhinestones have fallen out.) feels good and keeps hair out of eyes without pulling hair out. I comfortably wear with glasses. Wish they weren’t so expensive though.

Well Made But Not Comfortable
This headband was well made and looks very nice but I found it to be uncomfortable behind my ears and cannot wear it for very long, plus it did not hold my hair back as well as pushed up glasses. It is meant to hold the hair back like pushed up glasses, but the fit was much looser than glasses.

Best square headband yet
I bought this over a year ago and impact to buy another one today. I have bought so many square headbands over the past year just trying different ones and to see what works. This one is definitely worth the extra money. First of all, I wear it all the time and the hinge is still not worn out. Despite being in my purse when not on my head, it is still intact and has not broken. Second, It fits most naturally and looks really good in my hair whether it’s really clean or really dirty. Third, the headband still looks new. Nothing has shipped or peeled or anything that you find with so many hair accessories if you use product like me. And it has never caused me hair headache.
