I asked t his before but please bear with me. I really need the EXACT nomenclature of what this is:
The horseshoe shaped thing that girls wear around around their heads to keep hair back. Is it a headband or a hairband, or both?

The horseshoe shaped thing you described is called a headband.
A hairband is vaguely similiar to a headband. However, instead of being horseshoe-shaped, it is completely circular. Also, headbands are made out of hard material, usually plastic or sometimes metal, whereas hairbands are made out of soft, cloth-like material.
Hairbands reach the back of your neck underneath your hair, whereas headbands don't reach that far because they're not closed.

the horse shoe looking thing that goes around the head is a headband. a HAIRBAND is a thing that girls use for pony tails and to tie back the hair

its called a headband. cuz its on ur head, but good point it keeps the hair out of the face, but the correct term used would be a headband.

a headband is something you put behind your ears and over your head, and a hairband is something you use to pull your hair back with.
