The Cutest Headbands to Wear While Washing Your Face

Let’s be real, a hair tie alone isn’t always enough to hold your hair back while washing your face. To get the job done, a headband can also be helpful. Now I’m not talking about any old headband, I’m talking about a plush spa headband. Typically made from super absorbent materials like microfiber or terry cloth, these thick bands ensure your hairline doesn’t get completely soaked and effectively keep hair out of your face, not to mention they elevate your entire cleansing routine. To help you navigate through the hundreds of options available, we rounded up our five favorite face wash headbands that are just as adorable as they are functional. 

Kitsch Spa Headband

This multifunctional headband doubles as a hair tie. The built-in ponytail holder prevents creases caused by hair elastics, while the velcro design firmly and comfortably secures the headband to your head. It’s great for face washing, makeup application and around-the-house activities. Try it with the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Face Wash Cleanser if you have oily skin

HOPESHINE Spa Facial Headbands

Why choose one color when you can have three? This three-pack of affordable, plush headbands is super cute and practical.
