Head Sweatbands

[wannabethintoo]

Ok, so I'm at the gym today wearing my head sweatband as usual and it occurs to me that no one else is wearing one. Many of the guys are wearing baseball caps and the rest are wearing nothing. Did sweatbands go out of style and no one told me? They used to be very popular. I used to get them in my stocking at Christmas time.

So the big question is this: If no one wears head sweatbands then how do they keep the sweat from running in their eyes?

I'm still going to wear them even though I might look like a dork....wouldn't be the first time.

I don't know.
My son wears a bandana or ball cap
My hubby bought a sweat band recently and wears it running, sometimes.

Re: Head Sweatbands

My son (1 wears them when he is playing. He plays hard at sports and needs them or he wouldnt be able to see for all the sweat pouring down his face!

But then again he marches to his own drum and doesnt care if it is cool or not. So cant tell you if it is out of style or not.

If it works for you, then you should wear it!

I could surely use one on my long runs in this heat/humidity, but any kind of hat or band gives me a horrendous headache. So, I just run with a towel in my hand and wipe my face constantly!

Re: Head Sweatbands

I think style-wise, sweatbands went out in the 80s. But if it works for ya, who cares?

My gym has towels, hand towels for when you workout and big ones for the shower. I sweat so much, my towel is always wet when I'm done. And I sweat profusely on my entire head - some days I think I should just wrap my whole head in a towel while I workout!

Re: Head Sweatbands

I wear a sweat band once in a while at the gym.
When I run I wear a coolmax bill. I can tell how good a workout I got from how far the sweat gets towards the end of the bill.
You can get them at sports or running stores.
