It's true: Trendsetters and style stars worldwide are embracing the humble stretch headband. And even though this hair accessory can be found for under $2 in some places, it can also be worn with anything from designer denim to luxe leather and everywhere in between. 

The stretchy headband also comes in a variety of fabrics and colors. While simple cotton versions are perfectly suitable for every day, headbands designed to be worn during workouts tend to have sweat-wicking properties and a firmer grip on the hair.

Just in case you need help getting started, we've pulled a few stretchy headbands under $2 each and several more at varying price points. No matter which style you choose, we're sure you'll find a headband that does the trick.
