Headband x C99
Also known as: Headband C99, Headband x Cinderella 99
Headband x C99 Strain Overview
Headband x C99 is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Headband and Cinderella 99 (C99). This cross combines the potent cerebral effects and citrus-forward terpene profile of Cinderella 99 with the deeply relaxing, full-body experience characteristic of Headband. The strain represents a modern hybrid that has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure inherited from its C99 parent. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The aroma profile combines the diesel and earthy notes of Headband with the tropical fruit and citrus scents of C99, resulting in a complex bouquet that evolves as the buds are broken apart.
Headband x C99 is known for its cerebral onset that gradually transitions into full-body relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. The strain has gained particular attention for its ability to provide mental clarity alongside physical comfort, a characteristic that has made it popular among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients seeking balanced effects.
