Wherein Lies The Awkward?

Here I'm going to show you the best ways to use a headband for awkward stage hair, but first...what makes the awkward stage so awkward?

It's the sides.

The sides are the worst. At times they're going to feel unmanageable and in most cases contribute to approximately 90% of your awkward look. The sad truth is, if you can't overcome the struggle with those awkward sides, there is a good chance you'll eventually cave in and cut it.

So if you are a savage and you REFUSE TO CAVE, you're gonna have to figure something out for the awkward sides.

It's true you can mitigate the sides by eliminating pesky sideburns and trimming in the awkward stage. It's also been welldocumented that hats and beanies are your goto tool during awkward stage hair.

While these can be effective in certain phases of your journey, these are temporary solutions for alleviating the total goofball look (which is nice)...though not the only means available to you.

While growing your hair out headbands are another excellent tool for taming that awkward mane.

In addition to these styles, headbands are easy to use, lightweight and you can fit them in your pocketallowing you to take one with you everywhere you go. It's kinda like having a hair tie with you at all times.

There are plenty of choices for headbands, but I prefer our thick and thin headbands, bandana style tiebacks and signature headwraps, offering a wide array of options for containing the sides, keeping the hair out of your eyes and looking stylish as you grow it out.

It's worth noting that whatever solutions, tactics and products you try, you're going to have power through the awkward stage with courage and commitment.. There is no easy way around it, but know that the day of reckoning will come.

So if you are growing it out and have never given headbands a shot, here is how to wear a headband for awkward stage hair.
