STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I've recently seen girls with really cute headbands and/or scarves.  My question is how should I use them.  I have medium-long hair (just above my bra strap) and it is very thick and straight with just a tiny bit of wave to it.  I've seen people wear them farther on their heads with their bangs showing and I think that would work best for me.  Any help or pics of how others are wearing them would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
