What headbands do you use?

[bayerngirl]

I need something that keeps the sweat out of my eyes? What headbands do you use and what brand do you like? I also need something that stays on my head They usually slide off half way through my workouts .I was thinking about these headbands?

I just discovered these headbands a few months ago and they are the best thing I have ever used. They don't move. They don't keep sweat out of my eyes tho! I have to use a towel for that!

I've just started sewing my own. I buy soft hemp jersey fabric and they are pretty simple to make! I go through so many (and have a little head), so I needed to make my own. lol.

Elsie, what a great idea

I use these. Love them! Great for sopping up the sweat, holding hair out of your eyes, and staying in place!
I just scored a bunch in their big sale for $3! Not the greatest selection left though. Just two colors.

I buy mine from etsy.com....the store name is Specifically Random. Only headband that stays in place and holds my bangs back when exercising.

I make my own too...I get the fabric from old shirts, dresses, workout clothes and just google for directions. Boulderbands is another great brand( online)

So here are the tutorials I used:

This if you find a super stretchy fabric with lycra (or similar)

And this if your fabric is less stretchy (or you want it really snug)

Good luck and have fun!

Uummmm I'm feeling a tad inadequate here. I get the 5 pack from Walmart, Target or the grocery store. I have ONE from Underarmour.

Thanks for posting these tutorial links. I am very interested in sewing my own.

Would you mind sharing pictures of your creation?
Need some inspiration

Don't feel bad, Peg. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about headbands either. Pulling my hair back in a ponytail, usually does it for me. I still have headbands I used from my "aerobic instructor" days. I'll be damned, they still work!!! Other than that, the Prana headbands work great!!

Yes Karen.....the beauty of working out alone.....I can be as disgusting as I want! And I DO admit, sometimes I'm downright ugly, sweaty, smelly...the list goes on.

Ditto Peg & Karen!
I'm lucky if my hair is even brushed before I start more than half of the time!
