Headbands are like the Starbucks of the hair accessory world -- you can find them anywhere, from the snootiest shops right down to the stalls lining the walkways of your average mall. In the course of doing research for this entry, I came across a handful of different online accessory shops that sell really funky headbands. These are worthy of mention:
