Long haired guys, what headband(s) do you use in the gym?
Discussion
I've been growing my hair since spring 2018.
It's now at a length where it can get in the way of my eyes so i'm thinking of getting a headband.
It's around 10inches long , but it's not long enough for me to tie back. (plus my hair is curly, and i don't want to tie it back).
I've come across three types out there..
These elasticated types
The u-shaped ones the footballers seem to be using.
Old skol karate-kid version of folding up a bandana
But for those with longer hair which do you use? I'm after whichever is most practical.

When I had long hair, years ago (yeah, yeah - it was 1989 and we were all doing it....) I found an alice-band was the best solution for most circumstances except rugby or swimming
that's like the 2nd picture I posted right? I was given one that was zig-zaged to try on.. never again. It just traps my hair. ambuletz said:

^^^ I was thinking that. Could be a hoot.
Those two posts have managed to encapsulate everything I hate about PH.The guy posts a perfect reasonable question, but because it's not something you "get", it is therefore fair game for ridicule.
I can practically see pair of you rubbing your hands in glee.

Two, if you’re buff, and have a piphead.
Buy something colourful and ignore haters.

Only works if you're a real man.
Edit: Interestingly, it says "unisex" but that's also an alternative word for "gender neutral" which is also an accommodating word for "trans".
If you're feeling offended, triggered, confused or curious, then they are definitely for you but just don't tell anyone on PH that you bought one.
Edit 2:
FWIW, I bought the above colourful one and this one: https://amzn.to/36mOmGs
Mainly because I sweat like crazy when I do any exercise or play tennis in warm weather, and what I look like is less important than getting sweat in my eyes when you're supposed to be watching a rapidly approaching ball. In brief, I don't give a s
