Why Our Headbands Are Different

☁️ Hair-kind jersey cotton

Made from certified organic jersey cotton — soft, smooth and gentle on hair, helping reduce unnecessary friction when worn on both wet and dry hair.

♻️ Thoughtfully low-waste

Made using leftover fabric from our hair towels, helping reduce waste while making careful use of materials we already trust.

✨ Generous, comfortable fit

Our regular headbands are a comfortable, everyday fit for most hair types. The short, covered elasticated strip at the back means they are secure without feeling restrictive, ideal for skincare routines, exercise and everyday wear. Also available in a large, suited to high density hair or those prone to headaches.

Perfect!

As a curly haired lady, I absolutely could not live without my GWD towels and now have one in my bathroom, one in my swim bag and one in my suitcase. The headbands in the smaller size are also a game changer and it’s great to be both supporting this ethical company and using up deadstock fabric. A win/win!

A little confidence boost :)

I have psoriasis on my scalp, and a friend gifted me one of your headbands. I absolutely love it. It’s genuinely made me feel so much more confident and has really helped with feeling self-conscious about my scalp. I love the green colour, how thick and comfortable it is, and the quality is brilliant too. Such a lovely product that’s made a real difference for me!

What a lovely review Ayla, and friend! Thank you so much taking a moment to share your thoughts. I'm so pleased you're benefiting from you headband.

Lovely Headband

Lovely headband - the material, the style, very comfortable and made in the UK :-) I also have the towel which I love equally as much

Excellent customer service

Thank you everyone at Good Wash Day

Laila, I’m so glad you’re enjoying both the headband and the towel! Thank you for your lovely words about the products and our service.

Headbands- can’t live without them!

Good quality, well made headband at last. I’ve been looking for decent ones for ages & finally found them.

Saoirse, I’m delighted you’ve finally found the headband you were searching for! Thank you for your lovely feedback.

Perfect Headband

I originally bought a larger size headband, which was fine, but I think I probably have a larger head! The very kind folks at good wash day sent the regular size to try and it was perfect! The headband is lovely and soft and so useful when cleansing face, applying make-up, or just when you want to hold your hair back. I’m really pleased with it and love the funky pattern. Customer service is absolutely fantastic. I thoroughly recommend the headband and also the amazing towels, I wouldn’t be without them.

I'm so pleased the regular sized headband is just the ticket! Thank you for your kind words Katy.

A large headband that was very large

I absolutely love your hair towels - as well as having some for myself, I frequently give them as gifts. This review is about the hand and. Firstly, it was relatively expensive. I know I bought a large as this was all that was available. However, I gave it a try and it slipped right over my forehead- then tried it with hair clips - again it slipped. Now it sits in my drawer! I am sorry to give it a poor review - i shouldn’t have bought a large. P.

Thank you so much for your feedback Rhona and your kind words about the hair towels. The large headbands are generally for people with a lot of hair and/or who are prone to headaches (like me!). We now offer a regular size too. Regarding the price, I appreciate that they're an investment, and whilst they're made from off-cuts to reduce waste, UK manufacturing and more intricate stitching versus the towels dicates what we need to charge to run a sustainable business. They're also built to last, but I understand that's no help to you if it's in a drawer because it's too big! I'm away from the business at the moment, but will ask my colleague Marisa to get in touch via email because customer experience is hugely important to us and we can help.

Organic jersey cotton headband in Regular size

After initially buying the large sized headbands and finding that, while they were comfortable, they were a little too large for my head so I then tried out the regular sized headbands (courtesy of the GWD team providing me with two regular headbands to try) . I have to say that for me they were a better and more secure fit but also not so tight around my head to cause any headache or discomfort, even after wearing them for a whole day. The fabric was also incredibly soft to the touch and on my hair. I’m certainly planning on getting more colours in these headbands and I’m overall very happy with them- thank you Good Wash Day!

Paige, I’m so glad the regular headbands were just right for you and that you’re enjoying the comfy fit and softness. Thank you for giving both sizes a go and for your kind words.

Very comfortable headband

I brought the smaller size headband and it fits like a glove. It is beautiful made and the design is lovely.

Jacky, I’m so glad the smaller headband is just right for you. Thank you for your kind words about the design and quality, it means a lot to me!

Fabulous products and service

The towels are so good for your hair. Quick drying without rubbing your hair just wrap! Recently ordered 2 hair bands for my granddaughters. Carla emailed to say some thoughts the one size a bit large. I fed back and they have sent me 2 small ones in place. Thank you so much.

Thank you for coming back to write a review Irene. I'm so pleased that the regular sized headbands are a great fit for your granddaughters, and I'm grateful for your patience whilst they were being made. I'm so pleased that you love their hair wraps too!

I’m glad I bought this

I am using my new hair band all the time and it is very comfortable to wear. I chose the large size and it’s just right for me.

I’m so pleased to hear the large hair band is a perfect fit and getting plenty of use. Thank you for your kind words and for supporting Good Wash Day.

Headbands

I bought two of the headbands and while they are a little roomy, I would say overall that they feel comfortable around my head and the material is soft against my hair. A perfect accessory to wear to keep hair out of my face but still have my hair down! I love the colours too, very vibrant!

Paige, thank you for your lovely review! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the headbands and that the colours have brightened up your hair days. We've made it clearer that the headbands are large in size, for those who are headache prone (moi) or have a lot of hair. Some smaller ones are currently being made.

Best hair towel!

Soft and gentle on hair. I have two and just bought another for a gift. Wouldn’t use anything else. Easy to pack for holidays too! Thoroughly recommend

What a ringing endorsement Katy. Thank you for choosing Good Wash Day for yourself and as a gift. And I agree, they are perfect for travel!
