A decorative band or elastic strip worn around the head or used to tie back hair.
Compound of 'hair' (Old English 'hǽr') and 'band' (from Old Norse 'band'). This modern compound reflects the 20th-century fashion accessory industry.
Hairbands went from practical hair management tools to major fashion statements—in the 1980s, wearing a bright neon hairband meant you were cool, but fashion changes everything.
