Quick answer
Style the Annika Wide Leather Headwrap by adjusting the hidden stretchy strap for a custom fit, then position the leather band across your forehead or crown depending on your look.
Why the Annika Headwrap works for all hair types
The Annika Wide Leather Headwrap is designed with a suede lining that grips hair gently, so it stays put on fine, thick, curly, or straight textures. The fully adjustable strap lets you dial in the tension without pulling or slipping.
Because the headwrap is made from lambskin leather, it molds slightly to your head shape over time. This means the fit improves with wear, but the suede lining keeps it from sliding even on the first use.
Choosing the right placement for your face shape
For a Bardot-inspired look, wear the band low on your forehead, just above your eyebrows. This works best with soft waves or a tousled ponytail. If you prefer a more modern feel, slide the headwrap back to sit at your hairline or crown. The wide band adds volume to the top of your head, which balances round or heart-shaped faces.
Step-by-step styling tutorial
- Prepare your hair: Start with dry, styled hair. The headwrap works over loose waves, a low bun, or a ponytail. Avoid wet or heavily product-laden hair, as the suede lining needs grip. Dry hair gives the suede lining the best hold.
- Adjust the strap for your head size: Locate the elastic strap at the back of the headwrap. Gently pull to loosen or tighten. The band should feel snug but not tight enough to leave a mark. Test by shaking your head—if it shifts, tighten slightly. A too-loose strap causes slipping; a too-tight strap causes discomfort over time.
- Position the band on your head: Place the headwrap over your head with the leather band centered. For a classic look, set it just above your hairline. For a boho vibe, push it back to the crown. Ensure the suede lining contacts your hair evenly. Avoid placing the band directly on your ears to prevent pressure points.
- Secure and fluff the front: Once the headwrap is in place, use your fingers to gently pull a few strands of hair forward at the temples or forehead. This softens the look and prevents the band from appearing too stark. Pulling hair forward also helps hide the edge of the leather for a more seamless finish.
