I waited to write this review to see how it held up and itβs definitely doing its job. I use this to help prolong my silk press and natural hair. The fabric quality is great for both! Very lightweight while being stretchable and just tight enough to hold everything in place. The width is perfect to hold everything out of your face. The sweat literally rolls on the side of my face without getting in my eyes. For reference, I run and strength train about 5 days a week so the sweat is real! Read more
Keeps sweat out of the eye area. Worth every penny! Read more
I've got some eye issues, and they are very sensitive to things like sweat getting in them. My problem is that I sweat like a pig. I mountain bike with my kids and help coach a local high school NICA team, but I was struggling with my massive amounts of sweat getting in my eyes while trying to keep up with the young whippersnappers. This headband fits great under my helmet, and really does the job of redirecting the sweat away from my eyes. I have a large head, and this is a little on the small side for me. It's not uncomfortable, but it does leave a nice impression on my forehead for a while after wearing it (my kids love to tease me about that!). Overall, I'm very happy with this headband, it does the job which it purports to do very well, and fits nicely under a mountain bike helmet. I don't ever want to ride without one again. Buy one and support a small business while getting a quality product. Read more
When I work out, I sweat a lot. I mean super-schvitzing. Like I just took a perspiration shower. I figured out it was time to invest in quality headband to keep the sweat from pouring into my eyes on the elliptical and treadmill. I did quite a bit of research and decided to invest in a Halo headband and I'm so glad I did. FIT - The fit for me is perfect. Snug enough that it felt very secure on my head without being too tight. I was on the elliptical for 30 minutes, stationery bike for 15 and then did a series of weight machines and the headband did not move. STYLE - I'm really glad I opted for the 4" band as it kept my hair back nicely. I have short, thinning hair which starts to frizz as it gets damp and while I'm not vain, particularly at the gym, it was nice not looking like I just stuck my finger in an electrical socket. COLOR - The color is exactly as pictured online. FUNCTION - Yes, this sucker did keep the sweat out of my eyes. Not sure it did the greatest job of wicking all the sweat away but given how much I sweat, I would say it did as good a job as one piece of material could. The silicon band works very well and did not rub one bit, which I was very pleased with. I didn't notice any indentation on my head or red marks where the silicon band was which was great. Did not pull on my hair at all. PRICE - This band is a little more expensive than I had wanted to spend initially, but given how well it worked and how well it's made, it's worth extra $. If it had been less money, or discounted as a 3 pack, I may have been compelled to buy more than one. Read more
The headband is absorbent and does a good job of keeping sweat from getting into your eyes. Itβs comfortable and lightweight. You hardly notice you are wearing anything. The only downside is the price. Very expensive compared to the other headbands. Read more
Purchased for a 10 year old to keep his hair out of his eyes under a hockey helmet. Never had a problem with sweat in his eyes. Always stayed in place and never had to be adjusted once his helmet was on. Just an fyi, itβs 4 inches on the front and tapers down to about 2 as it goes around the head. No problems washing it. Worthwhile purchase if you want to cut down on the sweat in your face during a workout while not being overly thick. Read more
It is simply unnatural how much I sweat during an intense workout. Especially if I go for a run outside when it's hot and humid. I'm basically already dripping with sweat by the time I walk out the door. Sweat headbands are essential in my life, and I've tried MANY different brands over the years. Most have done a fairly decent job, but I'd always have to carry at least 2 or 3 extras with me to swap out during my workouts as they'd become saturated too quickly and sweat would begin dripping into my eyeballs. I had avoided trying Halo brand headbands for the longest time because I thought the price was too much and wasn't convinced they'd be much better than what I already had. But I became desperate and eventually gave in thinking it wouldn't hurt to try. So I bought one. But the first one I tried was actually their regular 2" wide pullover. It did a great job, much better than what I had, so at the time I thought it was the best headband ever. And then I tried THIS 4" wide headband and changed my mind completely... The main difference between this 4" wide headband and the 2" (besides the size) is the thickness of the fabric. Not that the 2" is super thick, but it's definitely thicker than the 4". While both work to keep sweat out of my eyes (thanks to the nifty sweat chanel) I personally found the 2" to become overly saturated much faster. I still found myself having to carry an extra with me to swap out halfway. This 4" wide headband, however, is just a miracle. I don't know exactly why it's so much better, but it is. Maybe it's because the material is thinner so it evaporates sweat faster, or maybe because it covers more of my head. Maybe it's both. Whatever the reason, it's the ONLY headband I've ever tried that I don't find myself having to swap out during a workout. It manages to keep sweat out of my eyes the ENTIRE time without fail. And despite how unbelievably SOAKED it gets by the end of my workout, very little liquid is squeezed out when I wring it. It just locks all the sweat in. With the 2" it's like a waterfall when I wring it out. However, both dry very quickly and ready to use again the next day. The only negative thing I'd say about this headband is that the sweat chanel often interferes with the Bluetooth connection on my wireless earbuds. It only happens when I'm at my absolute sweatiest. The sweat cascades down the chanel towards the back of my head and over my ears. For whatever reason that amount of sweat dripping over my earbuds makes the bluetooth connection choppy and the sound cuts in and out. This happens no matter which brand of sport earbuds I'm wearing. But I did find a solution. Once the sound starts getting choppy, I just tuck the sides of the headband behind my ears and everything is fine again. Yes these headbands aren't the cheapest, but if you sweat profusely like I do, they are worth every penny. They stay firmly in place on my big head but never feel too tight. They have never lost their shape or elasticity (unlike my aging skin) and are easy to wash. I stick all my headbands in a delicates bag and cold wash in the machine on a delicate cycle with a gentle detergent. Then I hang dry. They come out good as new and seem very durable. I have 4 of these now in different colors and, just like PokΓ©mon, I need to collect them all. Read more
