Curly-haired? Rocking a puffball bun? Don’t want hat hair? For so many the wooly, warm headband is the answer to cold ears in the winter. Bedford, by co-founder Meghan Babin, is for the curly-haired people in her life whose gorgeous ringlets should never be squashed by a hat, but still need something to keep their ears warm. Made for the tiny humans up to adults, this cabled headband features an i-cord edge worked simultaneously and side shaping for a narrow back creating a more comfortable fit and tangle prevention.
