LOL

Honestly, I did not know one person who wore a headband. The only time I saw headbands, were on yuppy teenagers in the movies.

I wore the ones that held my hair back....over the top of my head.

Are you talking about the sweatband type that went around the forehead? If so, I never touched those.

okay, I was one of those girls wearing headbands so I could look like the yuppy teenagers in the movies!

No, but I knew a few people who wore a bandana "sweat band" style. You know- the burn out version of the sweatband!

Ok, I will admit to it ... but they weren't bulky sweatband type headbands. Mine were made of about 6 pieces of thin black elastic that were sectioned into two elastics per strand and braided. Beads dangled from the remaining elastic. I thought I was pretty hot wearing those!!!!

I went to high school in the 80's with a lot of Preppy (not yuppie) girls like you saw in the movies so I saw a LOT of headbands. Look at old pictures of Hillary Clinton and you will see many, many headbands on her.

I know of what you speak I had one it was white with silver beads

BTW, none of us were yuppies, it was just a trend along with the leg warmers that came along a year or 2 later(I think) or it could have been earlier, obviously since I knew of what you spoke, my brain is old or lost circulation to it from the head band I wore in the 80's.

PREPPY! That was the word I was looking for, Yuppies were the Preppies parents. LOL!

I definitely had them as a kid. Both the soft cloth "ring" kind (that I wore like a normal headband and under my hair, not around my head like a sweatband) and the hard plastic cloth-covered kind. I had them in many fluroescent colors. Actually, they made growing out my bangs a lot easier! I could do without the fluroescent colors though!

I wore both wide keep your hair back headbands and the terrycloth looking braided 3 color around the front of my head bands (I had them to match every dance outfot I had... however I was between 5 and 8 when I wore them so I think you would have to blame my mom)

Not me! Ok, maybe my nickname for a year in Junior High might have been "headband" but still........it WAS the 80's!

For some it's still a fashion!

[Pop Daddy]

the fat guy exercising in Oliva Newton Johns video, is what put an end to the head band era

 

[Cantw8]

Oh, I thought you meant like heavy metal bands

Ummm I wore them teaching aerobics along with my leotards/tights and matching leg warmers I still wear sweat bands but the don't look like those eighties ones. Umm don't wear the leotards anymore either-aging bodies don't look cute in leotards although I've seen some elderly overweight women give it them the old college try Not enough spandex in the world to keep sagging bady parts in place!!!!
