Headbands of Hope is a fashion accessory brand that combines fashion with a social cause. The brand offers a wide range of headbands and hair accessories for all ages, and, with every purchase made, the brand donates a headband to a child with an illness.
Founded in 2012 by Jessica Ekstrom, who at the age of 19 was interning for a wish-granting organization for children with life-threatening illnesses, sick children were allowed to select a wig or hat during their treatments but not the headbands. This inspired her to create Headbands of Hope which donates a headband to every child with cancer or other diseases who loses her hair to chemotherapy or other treatments after purchasing one from the store.
The brand has donated over 500,000 headbands to children with illnesses and has partnered with numerous organizations such as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, UNC Children's Hospital, and many more.
In addition to headbands, the brand has also launched a collection of masks in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, where they are donating one mask for every mask purchased to a frontline worker in need.
Banded offers a similar range of headbands and accessories, and also donates a portion of their profits to support global education initiatives.
