You found the perfect cloth hairband—the pattern is divine, the fabric is soft. You slide it on, feeling chic and put-together, but by lunchtime, the familiar, dull ache begins to throb behind your ears. What if the 'headband headache' isn't a necessary evil, but a design flaw you can finally outsmart? As a comfort connoisseur who has tested hundreds of accessories in my lab (also known as my walk-in closet), I can tell you that it is.
