Simons
Long-Toothed Headband
This long-toothed headband is a lightweight plastic hair accessory designed to hold hair securely. Its defining feature is a series of tall, closely spaced teeth that grip hair effectively, while the semi-circular band measures 1.25 inches (3.5 cm) in width and has a glossy black finish. It is used for styling and keeping hair in place.

Product Insights
The Long-Toothed Headband by Simons offers a $9 alternative to the $525 Miu Miu zigzag headband, using teeth that enter hair for secure mechanical grip without tension. Its 1.25-inch narrow width discreetly holds bangs and thick sections, but is designed for thick, wavy, or curly hair and may snag fine or textured types. The all-plastic build is rust-proof, repairable if snapped, and heat-shapeable, though the rigid plastic becomes brittle if stretched beyond its limited give, and pressure may develop during extended wear.
Verified claims
- Grip
- Teeth grip by entering hair, not by friction, allowing secure hold with less tension.
- Width
- 1.25-inch width is narrower than common 2-inch wide fabric bands.
- Trend
- Echoes the 90s zigzag headband trend revived by Miu Miu's $525 reissue, at a $9 price.
- Hair type compatibility
- Designed for thick, wavy, or curly hair, but the large teeth can snag or pull on fine, curly, or textured hair types.
- Comfort
- Best suited to shorter wear rather than a full workday; the 1.25-inch unpadded band can create pressure points and discomfort during extended use.
- Fit
- Rigid plastic stretches less than 1 inch; gentle heat can fine-tune shape.
- Durability
- The 1.25-inch width spreads clamping pressure, but the rigid plastic can become brittle over time and risks snapping if stretched more than about an inch.
- Repair
- Snapped headband can be repaired with super glue and a splint; hair dryer heat allows minor reshaping.
- Hair hold
- Narrow width (1.25) grips discreetly, holding bangs and thick sections without slipping.
- Build
- All-plastic: rust-proof for moist use, repairable if snapped, and a $9 take on the luxury zigzag trend.
- Design heritage
- Revives the 90s zigzag headband with mechanical interlock grip.
- Material
- All-plastic build mirrors the original 90s drugstore headbands, avoiding metal tip issues.
- Lightweight comfort
- At barely an ounce, this plastic toothed headband avoids the weight-induced fatigue heavier padded or metal bands can cause during short to medium wear.
- Thick wavy hair hold
- The long teeth cut through thicker, wavier strands and anchor into the hair mass, so dense or layered hair holds without sliding backward.
- Interior padding and grip lining
- The headband has no padding or grip lining on the inside; it relies entirely on large plastic teeth for grip.
