And that’s how it all started… In 2017, I gave birth to my second child, Eugenia. While I was on maternity leave, I was inspired to create hairbands that were a bit more unique compared to the typical pink ones available on the market. It took me months to find the right designs, the perfect fabrics, and the ideal seamstress who could bring my vision to life.

And here we are now, a few years later—with a wider range of products, an online store, and loyal retail and wholesale customers.

Sky is the limit!

5 Reasons Why Scrunchies Are the Must-Have Hair Accessory!

5 Reasons Why Scrunchies Are the Must-Have Hair Accessory!!

Scrunchies  are  back in style—and they’re here to stay! Here’s why they’re better than traditional hair ties and why you should make the switch:

1. They Prevent Hair Breakage
Traditional hair ties pull on your strands every time you put your hair up. How many times have you seen broken hairs stuck to your elastic after taking it off?
Scrunchies, especially those made from fabric, help avoid this issue—something many of us, especially those with curly hair, struggle with. Unlike regular elastics, your hair doesn’t come into direct contact with the rubber but with the soft fabric, which protects your strands and reduces hair loss when removing it.

2. They Promote Healthier Hair. I used to tie my hair back really tight in ponytails, even though I knew it wasn’t good for it. I just didn’t always have the time to style it properly. Scrunchies changed that. They hold my hair securely without giving me a headache or pulling too tightly. They stay in place with less pressure, making them a perfect choice for all hair types.

3. Maximum Comfort. Scrunchies keep my ponytail firm all day without causing discomfort or straining my scalp. That means I can wear my hair up without the usual pain or tension—and still look stylish. When something is both beautiful and comfortable, it’s a win-win. Say goodbye to headaches and hair loss caused by tight hair ties!

4. They’re Stylish, Not Boring!I wish they had come into fashion earlier. They are so convenient and anything but boring, even just as an accessory on your wrist. I love matching them with my outfits and making my style more interesting. For example, I might choose black clothes and an animal print scrunchie. Or I might pick jewelry in the same color as my scrunchie! There are so many playful options that instantly lift your mood as you get ready to go out.

5. Scrunchies work better in low ponytails or high buns as they help keep your hair light and not constantly pulled tight. In recent years, ever since I started my own company, I replaced the habit of using thin black elastic bands — something I had done for many years — with scrunchies, and I did the same for my daughter! I try out different styles now, so I don’t stick to just one hairstyle that was actually damaging to the health of my hair.

To sum up, scrunchies are the best gift you can give yourself, as they prevent breakage and hair loss, reduce headaches caused by tight hairstyles, and help you create more interesting looks! 

Silk addiction

/0 Comments/in /by

The benefits of silk are still unknown to many. That was the case for me too—until I came across an article by chance that really impressed me. This discovery, along with the enthusiasm of Nicole Panayiotou, inspired us to experiment and create a series of silk products that we are sure you will love. XL scrunchies in three gorgeous colors, stunning headbands, and finally, a brand new product: the silk scarf.

Wearing one of our silk scrunchies not only keeps you on-trend but also gives your hair the advantage of silk’s protective properties. Silk hair accessories reduce the friction and tension caused by traditional hair ties. Plus, with silk scrunchies, you won’t get that annoying crease in your hair when you take it down. And let’s be honest, a silk scrunchie on your wrist looks way better than a plain black hair tie—don’t you agree?

Our handmade silk headband is available in three eye-catching designs and is perfect from morning to night. It gently hugs the head without being tight or heavy—a stylish choice that’s sure to turn heads.

Our silk scarves are here to impress. We believe they’re that extra touch we all look for. Wrap it around your neck, tie up your hair, or wear it as a bracelet on your wrist. It pairs beautifully with a shirt, a dress, or even a casual T-shirt for a more laid-back look.

You can browse our online store and check out the silk accessories we created with great care and love—for all of you who love to take care of yourselves and your hair.

And finally, an important bedtime tip:

Avoid sleeping with your hair down, as this increases the risk of breakage. Instead, tie your hair in a loose high bun with a silk scrunchie. This will protect your strands from breakage—just make sure the ends are tucked inside the bun so they don’t rub against the pillow and cause friction.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Warm regards,

How everything started

Good evening,

My name is Alina Papalexandratou and I am the creator of the brand “Honolulu Headbands”.

I am married and have two children—Stelios, who is nine years old, and Evgenia, who is five.

I studied education and have been working as an educator since 2007. I adore children and, by extension, children's fashion. I’ve always enjoyed observing well-dressed kids wearing carefully selected hair accessories.

When I gave birth to my daughter, I started looking for the perfect headband for her. I wanted it to be elegant and, at the same time, gentle on her skin. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for on the market, so I decided to make my own headbands out of soft fabrics, offering a wide variety of colors and designs. That’s how “Honolulu Headbands” was born in 2017.

Because I wanted to raise my children without outside help, I chose to create a workspace inside our home. So, in the afternoons, we all work together.

Many of the fabrics I use are sourced from the United States, and you’ll notice they’re incredibly soft and come in beautiful colors. That’s also one of the reasons our designs are frequently updated.

Through my blog, I’ll be sharing thoughts and experiences as a working mother whose passion is to create and evolve, while remaining present in her family’s life.

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Warm regards,

Alina
