As the temperature drops, you’ll need to whip out your winter accessories. Along with the classic body-warming must haves – like gloves, hats, and scarves – make sure that you have a knit headband handy. Knit headbands provide plenty of coverage to keep your ears warm, while preventing your curly hair from getting crushed. Plus, if you tend to get chilly indoors, a knit headband offers just enough warmth without making you overheat.
