The Chanel fall 2013 couture show offered yet another twist on the trend. By placing a sparkly strip of hardware just behind the high-volume crown of the ponytail hairstyle, you get a dramatic style with a polished finish.

"TRON: Legacy" actress Serinda Swan accessorized with this gold back headband earlier this season. The futuristic, bohemian look reminds us of a gadget (the next iteration of Google Glass?) you might spot on a tech campus -- a great look for the sci-fi sequel star.

Accessorizing with shorter hair lengths can be tough. But this look we found on Pinterest makes a backward headband on medium hair seem so doable. Twisting two sections of hair and pinning them at the back is a cute but casual style in itself. Top it off with a shiny gold headpiece and it's instantly rich.
