    i get terrible flyaways when i exercise and i hate hair in my face. i cannot, for the life of me, find a headband that will stay on my head. i've tried the no slip ones, regular ones, and nothing. i don't know if i have a large head or greasy hair or what, but has anyone found a headband that doesn't MOVE during exercise?!

      That's why I just wear a hat. It's the only thing that keeps my hair back and out of my face.

      Have you tried buff headwear?

      Keeps the hair out of my face and helps keep the sweat from running down my face!

      That's all that I run with too. Expensive but worth it!

      These are the best. They don't slip or move a centimeter! http://www.bicbands.com/

      They have, I don't know, velvet on the inside? They don't move. That's all I know.

      I wear a visor when I run outside - but when I'm in the gym I braid the front of my hair back into a bun or braid. It helps keep those pesky, frizzy flyaways at bay!

      I french braid my bangs down the side of my head, then put the tail + everything else in a ponytail! It is the only thing I have found keeps my hair 100% out of my face! On days I don't have time, I twist my bangs up with some hair and put a barette in. That works well, but not quite as good as braiding!

      I use a very wide headband, for some reason that seems to stay in place. The thin ones just slip right off. Plus the wide ones seem to do a better job with the fly aways for me.

      I'm all about headbands so I have a large collection.

      I do like buff but my favorite is headsweats. The regular version not the step up which is okay but has an elastic bit in the back that I find makes it more likely to slide off.

      Have you tried folding bandanas and tying them tightly? I use them often and then place a couple criss crossed bobby pins just above my ears, helps keep it from slipping back. Walmart has tons of different bandanas for only $1 each.

      Check out Bolder Bands. I'm also a fan of bandannas.

      I love this one:

      http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/women-headbands-and-hats/Skinniest-Satin-Pirouette-Headband?cc=14336&skuId=3550432&catId=women-headbands-and-hats

      It's the best I've found. It's adjustable and doesn't move at all (the underside is grip-y), even during long hot runs.

      Bobby pins! They make these really small tight ones that are great. Headbands never stay on my head either.

      I have one that works great, but it's made by a seamstress local to my area. It's cloth, with an elastic band, and the underside is velvet, so it really clings to the hair. Perhaps you can find something similar?

      I like Under Armour's. I have thin one and a thick one. The thin ones seem to stretch out after several months of use and then slide out of place. The thick one keeps all those little fly aways out of my face and doesn't move.

      These are the thin ones I have http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/ua-mini-headband/pid1217996-425

      And this is similar to the thick http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/womens-ua-perfect-headband/pid1240051-001

      I use pre-wrap (underwrap?), the stuff you use to wrap ankles and such. It doesn't move at all and is super cheap. It also comes in tons of colors and you get tons for one roll!
