Why do some hairbands hurt kids? How to choose one that doesn't (from Team Choko)

From Team Choko, a brand making handmade hair accessories:

A girls hairband that pinches behind the ears is the main reason kids pull them off. Here's what to look for:

  1. Gentle tension. Before buying, flex the hair band open. It should open easily and close softly.
  2. Padded or wrapped band. Fabric, satin or velvet spreads the pressure better than bare plastic or metal.
  3. Rounded ends that sit behind the ears, not on the ear bone itself.
  4. Weight under control. Big embellishments add pressure. Save heavy ones for short events.
  5. Stretch it gently at home. Leave a new hair band over a book a little wider than her head for a day to ease the tension.
  6. Take breaks. For long functions, switch between the hair band and clips.

If she complains about headaches, try a narrower band or switch to clips, and watch for any marks.
