Workout headband recommendations?

sespi

Every time I go to the gym, I end up with my eyes burning from sweat and pieces of my hair escaping my ponytail, falling in my face and bothering me. (And fogged up glasses, but that's a different issue altogether :laugh: ) I've tried a couple different types of headbands, but they always end up slipping or not actually absorbing the sweat.

Anyone have a brand of headbands that they really love that stays in place through a whole workout and keeps sweat out of your eyes?

I love the underarmor ones

I just do a bun, pin up my bangs with some POWERFUL bobby pins (the ones that are super long and thick), and wipe sweat off my face with a paper towel (or honestly, more often, the top of my shirt). I try not to actually touch my face with my hands, though.

I really like the Hoo Rag.Fun patterns, and it stays nicely in place.

Lululemon! Since I cannot afford my lulu fix since I'm going to Canada - I bought some thick Remmington headbands at WalMart today for $2.75 dying to try them out on my run! I got the green/teal combo but if they work will buy more!

Halo. They are amazing. Check out their website at www.haloheadband.com

I like the cheap, thin Nike ones. They stay put and are far more absorbent than they look like they would be.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I think I'm going to try the haloband.

@anemoneprose - Unfortunately my hair's not long enough for a bun yet. And when I'm working out, I'm almost always wearing boxing gloves, which makes wiping my face ridiculously complicated

I'm a do-rag kinda gal. 99 cent bandana's do the trick for me.

Yep, I use a cheap 99c bandana from wally world, fold it into a strip and tie it around my head. Stays put, absorbs the sweat. Easy!!

Another vote for the Halos. Especially if you sweat profusely.

I buy the Goody brand at Target. They work great on my odd shaped head. Look for the black ones with little grey bumps/ grips.

Check out sweatybands.com. They're awesome!! They stay in place and I'm out running like crazy training for a half marathon.

Buy a few terrycloth wristbands and keep them on your forearms, just above the gloves. Easy to wipe your face with, and keeps your hands free.

I'm about as cheap as they get..:bigsmile: .. I cut the bottom of an old T-shirt off. Wrap it around a few times or cut it once (creating one long "band" and wrap it around however many times and tie wherever you want. You can space out the wrap-arounds so they either stack, make one large band across the top or space them out to make it look like 2-3 bands. They absorb sweat and you can toss them in a lingerie bag and wash them just like a t-shirt.

You are my new favorite person. That is genius!

I am partial to oneupbands.com. I bought a couple at a local fair, and they are similar to sweatbands but for some reason they stayed in place a little better.
