Braided headband Gretel, wide and extra flat braid, handmade to order in your hair color! 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 cm/ 1.8 inches wide - an extra wide but still flat braid. And a very lightweight hair piece, it weighs about 50 grams/ 1.8 oz only. For you if you love the Gretel headband style but go more for flatter headband braids than for the super chunky look!
Available with our slip-stop!
The slip-stop for wider braided headbands is a unique offer at Magic Tribal Hair. Our slip-stop is applied to the bottom of the braid, so it is completely invisible when you wear your braid headband. It is similar to the one of hold-up stockings or strapless bras. It helpds to make the braid stay in place on the middle of your head especially with straight hair.
Moreover it makes your braid headband last longer, because it seals a part of the hair in the braid in full length which helps the braid to stay in shape. This means hair will pull out slower from a hairband braid with slip-stop compared to the same hairband braid model without slip-stop.
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.

I asked for white hair only! I was sent blond. Very disappointed.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that the color you picked yourself isn't a perfect match. I warmly recommend doing the FREE picture color check before placing your next order. You ordered hair color SW snow white, the whitest color I offer. This is what I made for you. SW is the whitest color in hair, actually an artificial color and not one that occurs without chemical treatment. But color perception differs strongly, maybe you would have needed NW natural white which many refer to as white, others as gray, others as silver gray... If you ask 10 people to name the same color, you are likely to get 10 different names, but with the picture color check you can't go wrong ;-). I will also send you a message to make sure you don't miss this information! Kind regards ~ Melanie & Magic Tribal Hair
