I will agree with Ms. Barnes. I just got a cool book "Victorian
hairstyles: An illustrated History of Hairstyles 1830- 1930." By
Marian I. Doyle. They show several pictures of people with the new
brow band in 1915. Here is a link to Theda Bara who wore a lot of
headbands in her movies in the teens. http://silentladies.com/

My favorite headband wearer is a fictional character: Ozma of Oz.
She wears giant headband as drawn by John R. Neill http://
www.allposters.com/-st/John-R-Neill-Posters_c63916_.htm these
images reflect the fashion of the 19teens. Ozma of Oz was published
in 1907.
With the introduction of the hair being bobbed and the Marcel wave,
items in the hair seem to "fall out"
