Not every shift needs a full scrub cap. For days when your hair just needs to stay off your face, a wide twist headband is the comfiest, quickest option, and it pairs perfectly with a matching cap on the days you need both.
Why healthcare workers love twist headbands
- Flyaways stay back while you lean over beds, chairs and charts.
- Soft, wide fabric doesn't dig in behind your ears like plastic headbands do.
- Covers your hairline on second-day hair days.
- Matches your cap, so you can swap between them mid-week and stay coordinated.
Two ways to wear it
1. Classic twist-front
Slide it on with the twist at the front, just behind your hairline. It's polished and works with a low bun, ponytail or hair down.
2. Turban-style
Pull it further forward so it sits wider across your forehead for more coverage. Great for wash-day breaks or covering a growing-out fringe.

Make it a matching set
Many of our headband prints also come as scrub caps, so you can build a coordinated set. For example, pair the headband with the iced coffee scrub cap or the purple bat scrub cap. Add a matching wristlet and you're fully kitted out; see our guide to badge reels and wristlets.
FAQ
Can I wear a headband under a scrub cap?
Yes. A thin twist headband under the brim can help a slippery cap stay put. More tips in how to tie a scrub cap.
How do I wash a fabric headband?
Same as a scrub cap: cool water, gentle cycle, mesh bag, air dry.
