Alice band

An Alice band is either a flexible horse-shoe shaped garment or a loop of elasticated material which is designed to fit over the head and hold long hair away from the face, but let it hang freely at the back. It used to be an almost universally female item of clothing, but recently has gained popularity amongst men in some countries, owing to a fashion for long hair. The use of Alice bands by men was possibly first made popular by David Beckham and has since been used by all the girlie players at Liverpool like Harold "Harry" Kewell, Luis "Which team" Garcia and Vladmir "Won the cup then fooked off" Smicer.
