Strips of fabric or elastic material worn around the head, typically on the forehead, to keep hair back or absorb sweat; plural of headband.
From 'head' (Old English 'heafod') + 'band' (from Old Norse 'band' meaning something that binds). First appeared as a compound in Middle English for functional head coverings.
Headbands have been in fashion for thousands of years—ancient Greek athletes wore them, tennis players wear them, and they've cycled in and out of casual fashion repeatedly!
