In a hurry and need to look polished? Grab a headband. Growing out your bangs? Same.

Curious about which headbands celebrities prefer? Well, Lawrence has worn the one below. It’s a bit pricey, so we’ve also included several other styles and colors. You can shop the look or find a different kind that better suits your style.

As Lawrence promoted her recently released film, “No Hard Feelings,” she was spotted wearing this black padded silk-satin headband from Jennifer Behr. The interior is lined with grosgrain ribbon to help keep it from slipping. You can buy the handcrafted Jennifer Behr Tori Silk-Satin Headband at Net-a-Porter for $190.

If you’re looking for a more cost-effective headband that has less padding, check out this six-pack option of black satin headbands. Each elastic plastic band measures 1.2 inches in width and comes entirely wrapped in cloth. It stays on the head without feeling tight or stiff. If you’re a DIY aficionado, you can make these headbands more your own by decorating them with bows and additional ribbons. Get these six of these BalHull Black Satin Headbands at Amazon for $6.99.
