Tips for keeping sweat from dripping onto my neck and chest?

Sooo, this is probably the goofiest question ever, but I have a problem. I dye my hair red with semi-permanent dye (Manic Panic), and for the first couple of weeks it bleeds when wet.
This leads to a whooole lot of drips and splatters of red sweat all over my neck and chest when working out. It’s pretty insane looking, and can even stain my skin a little bit!
Any tips for containing sweat effectively? Would a good headband be sufficient, or do you guys have any other tricks?

    Hmm, wear a black bandana? Or put your hair in a bun with a large hairband around your hairline (or a sweatband, if you prefer).

    Barring all that, perhaps rock it by purposefully making up your face like Carrie before starting your workout...

    ...then fewer people will think it's accidental. Just throwing it out there.

    Have u tried a red or black towel cliped around your neck?

    More seriously, I've tried similar hair "dyes" w/similar results wc is why I only use "permanent" hair dyes now.

    Headband, bandana, or buff; put your hair up (ponytail or bun) if it's long. That should at least help.

    (I normally wear a cap for outdoor exercise, a terry-cloth headband around my forehead for indoor exercise, because I sweat so much that it gets in my eyes and stings. :neutral: Gray hair doesn't bleed, though, if one came by it naturally like I did. :lol: ).
