Alice band was usually referred to a very thin, dainty hair band but with changes in the modern world the two have really become one and the same. We still prefer to keep them separate and maintain the “Alice” name as it makes it sound girlie and feminine. Hair bands have evolved from Alice bands and are the thicker more trendy types, although Alice bands have come in and out of fashion for many years. Alice Bands and Hair bands can be worn with most outfits and certainly suit every hair type, whether you wear them to pull your fringe back or simply as an accessory.
