How old is too old for an Alice band?

I think the fashion is for very thick ones. And, of course, once something has been fashionable for a while we don't bat an eyelid when we see people wearing; think of grannies wearing leggings a few years ago .

lovely sharp bob
My ambition is to have a lovely sharp bob but it's never going to happen with my wild hair. I keep trying but I think it's time to come to terms with it and give up.

My hair nearly got to Alice band length but I had 'a trim' yesterday and the hairdresser was a bit scissor happy!

I do like it though, even if the back of my neck feels cold.

Hear, hear @Baggs !
I'm another band wearer, a slim black or blue velvet Alice band keeps my fine silver grey hair (cut into a lovely sharp bob) out of my eyes.
I've had a number of compliments and have no intention of doing /wearing anything other than what I want! Life's far too short to take notice of others' ?bitchy or jealous comments ?

Excellent post @Baggs

PS She was a very good teacher of French and German.

I wear glasses so I can see things in focus. I wear woolly hats in winter to keep my head warm. I haven't always worn glasses but I've always worn woolly hats. It's about comfort.

If someone else thinks I look odd my response is "so bloody what?" That has been my response since I was in my mid-teens and my dad said an outfit I was wearing wasn't very feminine. I told him I didn't have to try to be feminine because I as feminine by biological definition. On another occasion a very fashion looks-conscious teacher saw me leaving school (6th form) with a scarf wrapped round my head, tucked under my plaits and then wrapped round my neck and said: "You can't go out looking like that". I said: "Watch me", and left.

The only business anyone else has about how other people look is to enjoy the diversity of people's looks from perfectly in fashion (what fashion? there are thousands of them at any one time) to "ludicrous" and if you don't enjoy the diversity, please do it quietly to yourselves. Its called being polite.

I'd love to wear Alice bands, if only I had a smaller head! As it is, they always hurt and I invariably end up with a headache.
Also, I'm not sure they'd look right with my glasses. It's the same with woolly hats - they can look a bit odd with glasses. Well, on me they do anyway .
But seriously, why do some think there should be an age limit on them? I don't get it! If you like them and feel comfortable in them, then wear them, whether you're 9 or 90.

My 94 year old mum sometimes wears an "Alice Band." It's made of stiff material in pretty, muted colours. It looks nice and neat and is easy for her to manage.

"Can't bear..." something as inoffensive as flowers in an older person's hair! Blimey, such tolerance.

It really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

My specs/sunglasses live on my head and do the same job

I can't bear flowers in hair on older people too!
Jan Leeming wore them on the Real Marigold Hotel when they went to India.
I was surprised, because she used to be very classy.

I can't get the things to stay on my head!

I think it depends on the shape of your face as much as anything. I have a high forehead and a long face and decided at the age of 11 that an Alice band made me look like a horse. My friend's mother, with high cheekbones and a pointy chin wore one into her 80s and looked very elegant.

I'd say about 10 too. I can't bear flowers in hair on older people too!

As other posters have said, if you fancy it; go for it!

exactly what henetha said. Life's too short and they are so practical.

No one is too old for anything. It's harmless.. Wear your Alice band with pride.

I would certainly visit "Claires" you will find them in most shopping centres they have some pretty velvet ones all different widths,velvet is kinder to your hair as well.
I use one on the days I wear my very long hair down and it keeps it tidy behind my ears.

I'd say 18yrs.
Not many of that age would want to though unless it became the next fashion.
So not much seen on the over 10 age group.

Just not above 10yrs

About 10 I agree.

Never too old! Go for it!

marymillward wow viewing the bands you put the link up too makes me want to have enough hair to wear a band, they are beautiful and very classy looking.
