How old is too old for an Alice band?

I like barrettes and get them from a website I use regularly, if you really want headbands though they have some which don't look too bad... Headbands

I wear slides too Nankate, they are useful when my hair is getting near time for cutting.
I think a black velvet band could look great on the right hairstyle. (nearly burst into song there!)

I wore one when I was growing my fringe out - I didn't give a thought about being too old to wear it!
An elderly friend of mine used to always wear a black velvet band and it looked very nice.
So 'go for it' I say

I can't wear them as they hurt my head but the lady in our post office has long hair and wears one - she looks in her 50's. I'd just go by how you feel in it.

I wear a selection of rather stylish slides (one at a time) from John Lewis.

Thank you everybody. I'm going past Claires Accessories on Saturday, so will pop in and have a look, Nanabilly. Definitely going to give it a try.

If you have a Claires Accessories shop nearby I suggest you pop in as last time I looked they had quite a good range of Alice bands and other hair things. Slides. Wraps. Bows . Scarves etc etc
I keep saying I'm going to get some for when my fringe needs a trim and in summer as I always end up with half a tanned forehead and the other half still white .

I wear one for tennis but don't think I'd go out in one. The ones Tabitha suggested look more grown up. IMO.

If a band is the same colour as your own hair, it wouldn't even notice, so I can't see that it would be 'too young'.

I keep one in the bathroom for when I bother to do a face pack, but frankly I look ridiculous, it needs a young face.
Slides are a complete no-no for anyone over 10, and as for bows!?

My friend in her late 60's wears a narrow one all the time. It looks fine on her-it's a bit of a trademark, she wouldn't be the same without it.

Yup, I wear one too. I have really thick hair in a medium bob and find it helps a bit to keep it out of my face in windy weather. I kept checking with DH if he thought it looked silly but he says he can hardly see it so I'm going to carry on wearing one.

I`m 74, and I wear one whenever my hair is getting longer, until the next time I have it cut.

I often wear one especially when I am gardening as it helps to keep my hair out of my face. And, dare I say it, helps to hide the grey regrowth before a visit to the hairdressers!

Kleenzee and beauty just don’t sound right in the same sentence ?

Go for it, nought wrong with a nice alice band., or else perhaps hair-slides or even those side combs.
How lovely to be lucky enough to have thick hair. I wish!

My DD has Alice type band which she used when growing out a fringe.
It is a thin band of what looks like plaited hair.
Her hair is mid brown and she bought one that was a good match for her own hair.

I think I have seem them in the hair and beauty section of the Kleeneze book.
Which I believe can be viewed on line.

Never……….. as long as you like/love it.

I have been known to wear a narrow tortoiseshell alice band to blend in with my greying brown hair. I never thought about being too old to wear one!

One of my neighbors wears them often and she always looks really good.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking of a narrow, plain one, just enough to keep my hair back - bows are not really me! I like the sound of a narrow, velvet one, Annsixty. I've never seen those headbands before Tanith, so thanks for that. They look lovely. I might treat myself.

I think these can be worn by any age

My friend and I saw a woman of 70ish wearing a jojo bow today. It was huge and striped and looked ludicrous.
I love Alice Bands and if I had long hair I would wear one of the narrow velvet ones.

110? I am not aware there is an age limit. Just depends what kind of band you choose to wear. A look in the mirror should tell you whether you look OK or a bit ditsy.

Never too old. I know someone in her seventies or eighties who wears one always, the plastic kind. She looks great.
