Why does jean bice wear a headband?

Your headband is your signature look, as iconic as Karl Largerfeld in his sunglasses or Anna Wintour's bob. How did you happen to adopt this look?

I was in business with this gorgeous woman, and people would call up but didn't know my name, they would just say "I want to talk to the fat one." So I had to figure out how to stand out some other way. If I'm not gonna lose the weight, well then I'll just decorate it! So when I moved to Florida and the humidity hit my hair..

Oh wow so it's practical now I like it even more!

Yup, it holds back my hair, and even my wrinkles and now people point and say, "Oh wow you're her!" I'm recognizable.
