28 Winter Hairstyles with Headband 2027 to Keep You Cozy

I started noticing headbands in every salon chair this winter. Not the thin elastic kind you grab at the drugstore — thick knits, satin ties, even a few with fur. They’re not hiding anything. They’re the point. This roundup has 28 Winter Hairstyles with Headband, from a five-minute braid to a full blowout with bangs. They work for fine hair that goes flat by 4 pm (my permanent condition) and for thick hair that needs taming. Some take a round brush and patience. Others take a headband and a comb. That’s the range. Wavy Bob With Knotted Mustard Headband The wavy bob knotted headband is the rare winter style that does the work for you.

35 Winter Hairstyles for Plus Size Women 2027

This winter, every chair at my salon has someone asking for a cut that doesn’t need a round brush to look intentional. The structured shapes are winning: blunt lines, defined layers, and bangs that stay put in dry air. I think it’s about time we stopped apologizing for hair that refuses to cooperate.

26 Winter Loc Styles 2027

I spent last winter watching my locs go flat under every beanie I owned. This year, the trend is different: structured silhouettes meeting soft pastels and bold accents.

28 Winter Hairstyles for Round Faces 2027: Chic Layered Looks

Every winter, I get the urge to chop. Something about the cold air makes me want less hair to tuck into a scarf.

These 28 Winter Hairstyles for Round Faces cover the range: from a lob you can air-dry to a blunt bob that needs a round brush.

Winter Knotless Braids 2027: 28 Protective Styles to Keep You Warm

I kept noticing the same thing at the braider’s chair: the ends. More knotless braids curl or wave at the bottom than finish pin-straight, and I used to file that under summer behavior. It’s not. A textured end moves like hair instead of rope, and after three weeks, that matters more than the shade you chose. Inside, 28 Winter Knotless Braids run from sharp shoulder-length rows to longer styles with beads, highlights and curly ends. They suit fine strands that need borrowed density, thick hair that wants a lighter feel, round faces that need a clean downward line, and anyone who sleeps on silk.
