Review on Fiesta Fashion: Skeleteen Sombrero Headband For Mexican-Inspired Hair Accessories by Karen Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Adorable and exactly as pictured but the headband itself broke on use

This item is super cute, festive, and was fun for my 5 year old to wear during a silly hat themed day at school. It fit her beautifully and the details of the item are well done and exactly as pictured. The only reason it gets a 3 instead of a 5 is that the headband snapped along the temple after a couple of hours of wear. My daughter is surprisingly careful for her age with any jewelry and accessories and she has some old cheap dollar store stuff that she has managed to keep intact for a couple of years now so I can't really attribute this to a careless wild kindergartner being too rough with it. She loved this headpiece and hoped to be able to wear it again so she was super disappointed that it broke on her. The decorative part is well made, but the headband itself is quite thin and not as well made as the hat part obviously. It could've been a fluke since this item is highly reviewed. I just wonder if because its so thin the plastic is brittle? Not sure but I will say it fit my petite kiddo perfectly, so I don't know that the headband would be comfortable for an adult sized head.

Pros
  • So much fun, looks great very sturdy and colorful. I wear different ones at work
Cons
  • The headband may be viewed as culturally appropriative or disrespectful to some members of the Mexican community
