Blank Page Headband is life-changing in three aspects:
it keeps forehead and ears warm but does not roll on the back of your neck;
it sits on your head firmly while allowing a pony tail and a bun look beautiful;
it is fully reversible, easy to put on with one hand and comfortably stretchy.

It goes together with my Blank Page Sweater, and has a sister accessory- Blank Page Hat for one of those colder days. All three make the Blank Page Set.
