I've had this before but wasn't interested in doing my own review, but here we go.
The bowl on my bong holds somewhere around 1/4 of a gram, and I usually fill it about halfway up, so a fully cleared rip is about .125 gram (an eighth) if done properly, give or take. I ground up a decent-sized nug and filled the bowl. First hit was surprisingly harsh, so I choked pretty hard and didn't clear the bong or cash the bowl. I pulled and exhaled the stale smoke and re-lit the bowl. Smoother this time, maybe because I was expecting it. I waited about 4-5 minutes and deciding I wasn't feeling anything and packed another bowl. Full again, but I went it it a little more cautiously, inhaling more slowly, and it reduced the harshness and I didn't choke. After that large hit, I began to feel my eyelids relaxing and I knew the ride had begun. I remember why it's called "Headband", because of the feeling of something resting on the crown of your head. To me, it feels like a 3-pound donut that is pressing my skull, but not in a bad way, just like I need to keep my head up and balanced to keep it from falling off. Anyway, dry mouth came on pretty quickly, but not as bad as I get it from Girl Scout Cookies or some other Kush varieties. I always drink mango juice when I'm smoking, so I don't mind feeling thirsty. My lower-back pain went away pretty quickly, and all my joint pain melted after that. Not terribly couchlocked, but I definitely feel like staying in this chair for a bit. Definitely no munchies, although my stomach feels calmer than usual, which is nice. Everything is visually stimulating, especially bright colors. My third bowl has been 4 hits over about an hour, and I'm feeling great. Watching TV with my wife should always be this awesome. Finally, my eyes aren't really dry at all, whereas some strains leave me hitting the eyedrops right after exhaling.
I'm rating Headband as a 4 simply because of its heavy, thick, rough smoke. Everything else is great; pain relief, relaxation, de-stress/anxiety relief, and only minor dry mouth and eyes. If you mentally prepare to take long, slow rips, you'll be happy with Headband.
Keep your head up straight or you'll drop the donut thingy!
Enjoyed some headband shatter in an Omicron, fantastic citrus taste like lemonade. Heavy eyes and a pleasant buzz, helped soothe the pain in @my pulled lower back from shoveling snow
A nice earthy tasting smoke with a light Pine taste on the exhale. High was long lasting while still keeping the head up. Also good for pain relief.
Definitely a top 5. One bowl and I accomplished everything on my to-do list. The seemingly mundane tasks were, all of a sudden, enjoyable. Music sounded better. Colors were brighter. Great cerebral high.
Headband is a strain that I would compare to a person you are attracted based on the looks, however having great personality as well. U may ask why? At first it has benefits, more energy, self-confidence, although from the other side it gives you unknown, space from a different point of view, creatively wise as well, and as the layer it gives you welcoming warmth, saying it is okay to fail and that you will stand back up every time.

This strain is incredible; and I would have to say that it's hands-down my favorite. It gives you a creative, comfortable, and relaxed confidence. The other reviews are right about the "headband" or pressure. The pressure isnt bad, but its pleasurable. Honestly, everything about this strain is pleasurable. I smoke every day, and just two hits of this have my fingertips and toes tingling. It brightens the world, mutes fear, and everything that you do on this strain is laced with creativity. It's definitely a masterpiece.
Headband holds a very special place in my heart. Since I just got some I will have to review this specific strain/batch. Great, dense, light green nugs that are covered in light orange hairs and tricomes fill the dispensary bottle. Upon opening, you are immediately caught between lemon and diesel competing for the dominant smell. Here's there even better news: no matter who wins, you do! The high has an immediate "here have a seat" feeling. That is followed by the feeling of wearing that 80's style headband and a wonderfully uplifting head high. After a while this can lead to a nice naptime feeling if one gives in to the couch lock. The flavor remains a consistent lemony og with gorgeous SOUR diesel accents. I capitalize sour because this strain/batch has way more sour than diesel. (Which I think I am in love with) That is until the very end where it becomes way more diesel than lemon. One of my all time favorites and it just seems to be getting better!
