Why Yoga Headbands Are the Unsung Hero of Your Practice

When you think about your favorite yoga gear, your mat and leggings probably come to mind first - but there’s one small accessory that can completely upgrade your flow: the yoga headband.

A good yoga headband isn’t just a cute add-on - it’s a functional tool that keeps distractions at bay. From taming flyaways to keeping your hair out of your face during inversions, the right headband helps you stay focused, present, and comfortable throughout your practice.

And it’s not just for yoga. Pilates lovers swear by a great headband too - especially during reformer or mat sessions where hair can get in the way. A soft, stretchy headband that stays in place is key for a smooth, uninterrupted flow.

What Makes a Great Yoga or Pilates Headband?

Whether you're deep in your daily yoga practice or flowing through a Pilates class, the best headbands for yoga and Pilates combine softness, stretch, and a snug (but not tight) fit.

Look for:

No-slip design: A headband that stays in place makes all the difference. “No-slip” doesn’t always mean sticky or tight — often, it just means finding the right style and size for your hair type and texture. Some styles work better for thick or curly hair, while others are perfect for fine or straight hair.

Comfortable stretch: Feels soft and gentle - never too tight

Versatile wear: Perfect for yoga, Pilates, errands, lounging, and everyday comfort - a headband that fits your active lifestyle inside and outside the studio

Our Favorite Styles

With so many yoga headbands out there, it helps to know what styles work best for different needs. Here are a few of our favorites - all comfortable, well-priced, and designed with real movement in mind:

Scrunch Headband: A go-to for yoga and Pilates, this style features a wide front panel for full coverage and a soft, covered elastic back for a secure fit that doesn’t dig in. It’s stylish, functional, and holds up beautifully through every stretch and savasana.  Find them in solid colors here, and in tie dye here and in bleach dye here!

Tube Headband: Made from a wide, stretchy tube of fabric, this headband is the most versatile of the bunch. Wear it wide, folded, rolled or scrunched for a custom fit, or even as a neck gaiter or face cover. A favorite for people who like to switch things up!  Available in solid colors, tie dye, bandana print, and animal print.

Thin No-Slip Headband with Velvet Backing: Don’t let the slim profile fool you — this one stays put. The velvet backing grips gently without tugging, making it a top choice for fine hair, intense flows, or anyone who prefers a minimalist look that won’t budge.  Try a solid color grosgrain ribbon headband, or a glitter one!
