I sweat like crazy when I workout. I have yet to find any good headbands that really absorb the sweat.

Any suggestions?

    I was just thinking how I could use a headband today! But then remembered we were not in the 70's:bigsmile: and have no idea where to find one!

    I made two from a pair of tights that are ugly. Take you workout pants and turn them into short and then you can use the left over rings to make a fee headbands.

    I know.. I am awesome, you dont need to thank me. :wink:

    Check them out! Their heavy wicking ones are awesome and absorb everything. They are only $8 each too and have lots to choose from. I have 10 and wouldn't use anything else.

    i have an oddly small head, and the only ones i can find to even stay on let alone absorb sweat are from lulu lemon. the thinker ones with the rubbery-plastic around the inside. they work great! even stay on during bootcamp, which is intense!

    I think I have the opposite problem and a large head. They always seem to slide off about 1/2 thru my workout.

    I buy 5-packs of the thick Goodie cotton headbands at Target. They've helped me survive Insanity. :)

    Added: They're sold in either a pack of five or six, for about $5 per pack. Can't really beat the price, either.

    I use my kids' hairbands that I bought at the dollar store...wide elastic type stretch cotton - and you can roll up a bandana. :wink:

    I get the cheap bandanas at the craft stores or WalMart. If it's not too hot of a day, I just wear it like you would expect a bandana to be worn (if that makes sense) but if it's a really hot or humid day, I roll it into a headband. Normal headbands tend to slip on me and any of the ones with the grips give me headaches!

    I think growing your eyebrows may help.

    I wear a Headsweats brand visor for running outside. Does a good job at absorbing sweat, keeping hair out of my face, and protecting my face from sunburn. I haven't worn it at the gym, but I suppose you could.
