I may have a small problem with headbands.
Back in 2021, I donated 18 inches of hair and went from always wearing my hair in a bun to having shoulder-length hair. Then 6 months after that, I got it cut even more into a pixie cut and I haven’t gone back.
Here’s my problem: My hair simply looks too plain by itself. So I started loading up on headbands from across the internet. From Baby Yoda to Youtube, I’ve got it all.

Then I ran into the issue of storing them. I couldn’t just throw them on my bedside table anymore. So my loving husband came up with a solution to help out both of us.
This is super simple, but SO effective. Let me break it down for you.
Where to store headbands
The first thing we had to figure out was where to keep my headband collection. I wanted them in a place that was out of sight, to keep things looking tidy. But I also wanted them to be front and center so I wouldn’t forget about them.

Our house came with customized closets with a dresser right in the middle. My closet is on the right, while my husband’s is on the left. Then the answer became obvious: Why not take advantage of the closet door?

The simplest solution
We ordered a set of hooks for the inside of the closet door. John graciously screwed everything in for me, and I hung up my headbands with pride.

The ones on the right are my everyday wear, while the ones on the left are used when working out. They all fit perfectly, are out of sight, but still within easy reach when I get dressed in the mornings.
Where I get my headbands
I’m a huge nerd, so I get a lot of my headbands from small businesses online. Here are some of my favorite spots:
- The Bratty Martian
- RevelryHeadbandCo on Etsy

So, this was the best solution for us. I’m not sure what I’ll do if my collection grows, but we’ll figure out something!
