Headbands have been a hairstyle for centuries, so it's hard to call them a trend. Their appeal is that they work on all hair types; no one can really mess the look up; and, with a little bit of creativity and styling, a very simple headband can be truly stunning.
Plastic
A plastic headband about an inch and a half to two inches wide is perfect for a bob or hair above shoulder length. Brush hair out smoothly and push the headband straight back without parting your hair. It's a chic '60s-mod look--Brigitte Bardot did it well.
Wire Mesh
Every season, a fashion show introduces a great new headband. One I particularly loved was at Bottega Veneta's spring show (Macy's carries a similar style). It looks like a wiry, handmade mesh headband; it's so interesting, you really don't have to do anything else to your hair--just slip it on. If you want to dress it up a little, twist your hair into a loose bun at the nape of the neck first.
