Headbands are vanity items that Jin Sakai can equip under the headgear portion of the Gear menu. They are purely cosmetic and grant no additional bonuses. There are a total of 41 headbands (16 Haiku rewards + 25 open world) in Ghost of Tsushima.

Headbands are acquired in a number of ways: completing a Haiku and Tales of Tsushima side quests; while others are found scattered across the map, or are available for purchase from merchants.
