Headband [Hybrid]

Strain Breakdown

Headband is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 60/40 indica/sativa) best known for its smooth lemon-diesel terpene profile, long-lasting effects, and signature pressure-like sensation around the head. Headband delivers a calming cerebral euphoria followed by a relaxing body high without heavy sedation, making it a versatile option for both daytime and evening use. THC commonly tests 18–25% with CBD <1%. Well suited for afternoon through evening use.
