Headband Strain
Named for the pressure it leaves around the temples, and it earns the name.
Headband is a hybrid strain from OG Kush x Sour Diesel, typically testing 18–24% THC and <1% CBD. It leans myrcene and limonene on the terpene side, smells like diesel and lemon with a creamy, earthy base, and most patients describe it as temple pressure, clear focus, body ease. It's a daytime strain that people reach for afternoon, creative work, sour diesel fans — ask for it at RedBilly in Colcord or Roland, Oklahoma.

Headband is one of the more literal strain names on the shelf. Patients consistently describe a light band of pressure around the temples in the first few minutes, and that sensation is what the name refers to.
The cross is OG Kush with Sour Diesel, two of the most influential cultivars in the modern catalog, and it inherits the fuel from both sides with a creamy note that neither parent has on its own.
The effect is more functional than the potency suggests. Patients report clear focus, easy body relief and a long tail, which is why it holds up in an afternoon slot.
It suits people who liked Sour Diesel but want something a little steadier and less racy over a long stretch.
Myrcene and limonene lead the terpene profile with caryophyllene behind, consistent with the lemon-diesel nose and the mix of focus and ease.
We recommend it for creative work and long afternoons, with the usual advice to start low if your tolerance is still building.
