Braided headband Gretel, large braid, made to order in your hair color or a contrasting one, just as you like it! The braid in this headband is about 50 cm/ 20 inches long which makes it easy to hide the elastic part and the ends under your own hair.
This headband braid is about 4.5-5 cm/ 1.8-2.1 inches wide - an extra large = thick braid for lush and rustic stylings. Still this is a very lightweight hair piece, it weighs about 50 grams/ 1.8 oz only. If you want an even thicker braid, check the XL and Supersize Gretel headbands, too!

Professional Slip-Stop!
This braided headband tiara of synthetic hair has our professional slip stop like all our wider headbands. This slip stop provides high wearing comfort, because it makes the headband stay in place. Moreover it makes your braid headband a long life item, because the friction when putting headbands on and off would pull out too much hair too quickly without such a supportive layer. Naturally the slip stop cannot be seen when you wear the hairband as it is on the inside only! Our slip stop is similar to the one of hold-up stockings or strapless bras.
Our braid headbands fit every head!
The braided headband comes with a generous elastic part, so it will not be too small. If the hairband is too big, you can simply and quickly sew it smaller by hand with just a few stitches on the elastic part! Did you know that headbands slipping to the back of your head usually simply are too small for your head? Most women who know this problem assume that the shape of their head causes the headband to slip, but in most cases the headband is just too small. That is why we have you adapt the fit and deliver it rather a bit too loose than too tight!
We only use Kanekalon hair - best quality in synthetic hair!
Kanekalon hair has a real touch feeling, a natural shine and is very carefree. You can wash your headband in lukewarm water with a mild shampoo. Put the shampoo in the basin and let the headband soak in the shampoed water, don't rub or squeeze it. Put it on a thick towel to let it drip-dry.
Please understand that this personalized item is made to order especially for you and cannot be returned! Read all details in our general terms and conditions.
Some product pictures show how to combine this hair piece with other hair jewelry or hair pieces. These items must be purchased extra.
Hair Color
Your hair color can be matched perfectly including highlights, lowlights and all shades, because all braided headbands are made to order exclusively! One's own hair usually contains 2-3 colors (only dark hair often consists of 1 color only), hence we include up to 3 colors in the price. Headbands should be matched to the upper parts of your hair only, because that is the part of your own hair they meet when you wear them.

Amazing! Such a wonderful experience ordering from Melanie. I thought I might need it rush delivered and she was so helpful. Ended up not needing to and still got the braid I ordered in plenty of time for the first date! She also gave me great advice for what colors to use to match my hair. I wore it this weekend and everyone was asking how I got my hair to do that! I had to tell them it was fake, and one person didn’t believe me! 10 out of 10 I will definitely be ordering from Melanie again!
I was so surprised to see this braid! It's beautiful. With just a photo, Melanie made a PERFECT match to my hair color. I am very pleased. My original purchase was on Etsy.
The braid's color is perfect. It looks like part of my hair. I am delighted with the quality. Melanie is wonderful to work with. I recommend her shop.
Awesome service. Lovely product
exactly what i wanted, genius colour match off a photo,will be back.
I use several hair crowns from this site since I discoverd it. The colour matches , it's perfectly natural , it does not slip. Actually it is the best site I founded. I would say they are practical but they are beyond that aspect. Because you look always stylish . In a review of another product in this site I told I take it even to ski: My sports are padel and ballet also and got so used I never take them off.
My first intention was to wear in parties: of course, I still do it , the bigger the better. Because you can use earrings and it's not too much " information", as you are actually not wearing a band as an accessorize.
Really I only receive compliments. I'm getting vain.
