Thanks for this collection! I pretty much have to make my own because store bought ones either hurt or don't stay on!

I love the look of headbands, but sometimes the plastic ones can give me a headache after a few hours. Crocheted headbands are my all-time favorite because they are soft and stretch to the size of your head. They're so comfy!

A headband out of an old t-shirt? That actually sounds like an amazing way to hold on to your favorite shirt for just a little while longer. To answer your question, though, I think headbands can be both... but most err on the side of being the perfect solution to a bad hair day.
