I find the wording on some of this item a little wonky.
If the wearer is a creature who uses magic to change
form, she gains the following additional benefits.
-Does this mean it only works while you are changing form? Or just anyone that has a habit of growing fur on a daily basis?
Shifter’s headband +2: The wearer treats her caster level
as if it were one level higher when casting spells or creating
extracts of the polymorph subschool.
-This would seem to not apply to druids wildshaping.
Shifter’s headband +4: Once per day while under the
effect of a polymorph spell or extract, the wearer can
assume another form allowed by that effect. This is a
standard action.
-Spell or extract, but not effect?
Shifter’s headband +6: Whenever the wearer changes her
shape with a polymorph effect, she gains DR 5/silver for 1
minute (this ends if she returns to her natural form).
Now it says polymorph effect. This presumably would work with wildshape.
I agree. Any "shifter" items need to clearly be identified as being able to be utilized by the biggest "shifting" class in the game..wildshapers. A rules clarification on this would be great.

This item really does not seem intended for druids.
The caster level reference for the +2 is incompatible with Wildshape mechanics - it's too generous to boost effective druid level, though I supposed you could just increase duration. The headband +4 benefit is basically +1 use of wild shape per day but with a duration cut on the second change (which may or may not be relevant at that level), and while the Headband +6 benefit works with Wildshape it doesn't give a whole lot of benefit to the large portion of druids who take advantage of the long duration of wildshape to change form well before combat.
