Headbands & Hairbands

Headbands are a beautiful and practical headwear accessory that is growing in popularity.
The primary function of headbands is to hold your hair securely in place. A headband usually sits close to one's forehead and circles around your head. Another name for a headband is the Alice band. But why shouldn't a headband also be a graceful accent in your look?

Bronté Amsterdam offers you a variety of these jewelry for your hair! In the winter season you can find Bronté headbands made of velvet and knitted headband like June and Camille.

Camille is a thick and warm headband that protects your forehead and ears from the cold. The velvet headband style June is available in elegant colours such as burgundy, navy blue, black and taupe beige.

History Headbands originated no later than around 475 BC to 330 BC, with the ancient Greeks who wore hair wreaths.The Greeks and Romans wore these pieces on exceptional occasions or important events. Cultures such as the Etruscans and Romans decorated their wreaths with gold and silver jewelry. The primary function of headbands is to hold hair securely in place. Women began wearing velvet headbands adorned with pearls and precious stones in the roaring twenties. In the sixties and seventies, women began to wear scarves around the head and tie them under the chin. The shape of scarves gradually turned into a headband. Headbands are perfect for a bad hair day and a jewel for your head.
