" As you guys probably know, headbands are hu-uge right now, so I thought I&amp;amp;#8217;d ask hair accessories designer Jennifer Behr (Rachel Bilson&amp;amp;#8217;s wearing one of her headbands here) a few Q&amp;amp;#8217;s: 1. Where do you get your inspiration when you&amp;amp;#8217;re designing your headbands? My background is in sculpture and painting. I use a lot of vintage materials, and delicate materials like feathers and silks&amp;amp;#8212;they&amp;amp;#8217;re a little bit more complicated to work with, but they&amp;amp;#8217;re wonderful to wear because they&amp;amp;#8217;re delicate and light. 2. Why do you think headbands are so hot now? I think people are realizing it&amp;amp;#8217;s one of the quickest and easiest ways to update your look&amp;amp;#8212;they highlights your eyes, and they really perk you up by bringing a bit of color and brightness near your face. (Plus, you can get away with washing your hair less&amp;amp;#8212;which is always good!) They&amp;amp;#8217;re also a really easy way to adopt a trend without having to wear an outfit head-to-toe. For example, silver is so big for spring, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s a lot easier to wear a silver headband than a lam&amp;amp;eacute; outfit! 3. What are the most important tips a woman needs to know if she wants to wear a headband? The most important thing is to find one that&amp;amp;#8217;s comfortable on your head. We all have bad associations with those plastic headbands from our youth that were instant headaches. Also consider the shape of your face and try on headbands in a few different widths. People with more delicate faces won&amp;amp;#8217;t do well in superwide headbands, and people with more round faces might need a bit of width in order to balance things out. A medium-width headband looks great on most shapes, and the skinny headband is a great new trend for spring. Also, don&amp;amp;#8217;t push the headband too far back. The more modern way is to wear it closer to the hairline. If you have bangs, pull out a few strands to soften the look. &amp;amp;#8212;Stephanie Photo: Steve Granitz/WireImage.com"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
