We first saw this horizontal hippie headband hairstyle (wow, try to repeat that phrase five times in a row) on Mischa Barton back in March, and lately it seems to be more popular than ever among young Hollywood.
Mischa repeated this look a few months later at a benefit, and this week alone we've spotted fellow trendsetters Ashlee Simpson and Nicole Richie adorning their long and wavy center parts with thin, stretchy headbands too. Do you think you're ready to jump on board the hippie train and wear your headband across your forehead?

am i the only one who can't stand this trend? ew!!
1No you're not!
2I agree smhooper. You won't see my wearing my hair like this anytime soon.
3HATE it. Not my style at all.
4Yeah hate this - wasn't it a trend last summer? Ugggh.
5the only time this is appropriate is at like a summer music festival, ala kate moss at glastonburg. it looks rediculous on all of the above, as well as molly sims last summer!!
6Not for me. I'm anyway not a fan of appropriating the fashions of eras before my time. I think I'd feel a bit poserish if I tried.
7aww whatevaaaa, i like it. peace!
8people by me have been wearing this for ages! but maybe thats just because i have a lot of hippie friends. i think rumi of fashiontoast can pull this look off AMAZING!
9I like it.
10i think nicole is the only one in that group that can really pull this look off. she looks good as a hippie. i happen to love this look, but my parents were hippie's and i grew up in a hippie community so i guess it's a bit nostalgic for me.
11i like it too, but i cant pull it off
12cute, i like the hippie boho style, but not for me. I'm more into the scarf.
13I think if it looks good on you, then go for it...why not.
14I like it! And I agree that Nicole is the only one who looks *right* in it. Mischa is a hot mess & Asslee is the queen of posers
15NOPE. i have bangs, so i don't need one of these. also, i'm pretty sure it would make me look like a mushroom.
16nobody looks good in this. full stop.
17BOO! It looks so old fashioned and out of style, yet it is in style? Makes no sense.....STOP!
18nope. it looks uber lame,
19and ashlee is no trendsetter, she's a damn follower.
Woodstock called, and they want their headbands back.
20Are we really taking fashion tops from those three? I think not.
21they look ok...but notice that each of these girls has a pretty big forehead. hah, easy way to hide it!
22EW. No way, throw those headbands with the crocs.
23this is old news
24ash looks better with it
25Nicole looks so cute in that pic. This look is def. not for me. It looks kinda dumb (sorry, just my opinion).
26I think it's cute. If it's something you're comfortable in, why not? I bet Kate Hudson could wear it well.
27I think this trend could be nice for ladies who look absolutely gorgeous with a center part on its own. In other words, if you can't part your hair down the middle without looking weird, I wouldn't recommend it.
Definitely not my style even though I used to do the hippie thing when I lived in Berkeley.
28nooooooooo...
29I like hippie-style, but I really hate this look. It's not cute, it makes the hair puff up funny in the back, and can you imagine the line it leaves on your forehead when you take it off? Yeah, yuk.
30I would never wear it, but some ladies can pull it off.
31I wouldn't wear it outside but my husband LOVES this style so maybe I will try it around the house...
32my friends have been wearing it for a while.. but it looks pretty ridiculous on me
33I think it looks cute, but it depends on who's wearing it. Ashlee looks like a poser with it on.
34I like it

It seems as if Nicole try's too hard to pull of the hippie look. This look is plaaaayed!
37I hate this trend!
38Not cute. You're not hippies. The 70s are over for a reason. Just no.
39I hate this. It looks bad, like your headband slipped down your face. Ashlee's is supposed to match her hair but clearly she's just wearing fake hair around her forehead since it doesn't originate anywhere on her head.
40Yep, I like it. It's better for summer though.. It's boho chick.
LilGlamDiva - Sorry but people can still bring 70s look back in a nice way.
41i hate hate hate this look. it isn't flattering, ugly and just plain stupid looking.
42the hippie headband is nothing new in the indie/folk rock scene. kids have been intermittently wearing this look before it became popular. i like it, on the right person it can be very cute.
43I love this style. I'm into the whole indie scene and fits my style perfectly. I love hippie style ^_^
44nicole can really wear it!! these ones are really chic !

46Hey chellybean and Lil Glam Diva,
47I believe that's a horizontal headband in both your pics, posers
