Origin
Headband is OG Kush crossed with Sour Diesel, a pairing of two of the most bred strains in the catalog. OG Kush brings the pungent body; Sour Diesel brings the sharp, lemony head and the pressure sensation. It has eleven descendants on file. Because the parents are so common, a lot of what sells as Headband is an OG-and-Sour-Diesel cross made by someone else.

About
Headband is OG Kush and Sour Diesel, and its parents are now everywhere.
It is named for a band of pressure around the head, its own specific sensation. The lemon-diesel flavor with vanilla on the exhale holds up. Many things sold as Headband are just OG-and-Sour-D remakes.
The pressure is the signature.
What to Expect
Headband is an uplifted, creative head high with a relaxed body that builds. Leafly's reviewers lead with happy at 53 percent of a solid sample, with euphoria at 52 and an uplifted, creative streak, and its closest reviewer set backed the happy reading unanimously. The pressure sensation comes on within a few minutes.
Dry mouth and dry eyes sit at 32 and 20 percent, with a dizzy and headache note near 9. The headband pressure itself is not a side effect but can feel like one at a big dose. It is an afternoon strain.
Flavor and Aroma
Headband smells of lemon and sour diesel with a pungent, sweet edge. The flavor keeps the lemon and diesel and finishes with a tangy vanilla note. The vanilla on the exhale is the detail people remember.
Terpenes Explained
Headband's measured panel leads with Caryophyllene at roughly a quarter of a percent, with Limonene swinging widely behind it and Linalool notable.
The vanilla note on the exhale is not on the panel; it comes from a trace aromatic compound a standard test does not report. A jar with a clear lemon-diesel bite and that vanilla finish is the well-grown one.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Headband THC is reported from about 17 to 24 percent, with the lab-measured sample in our data near 20, so it tests in that range. Most sources land near 20. CBD is a trace.
Headband tests around 20 percent, a solid strong number, so treat it as a poor pick for a busy day given how long the effect lasts.
