Points to Consider:
So to ensure the best fit, always look for the circumference, compare it to the size of your own head, and read reviews to see how stretchy and accommodating (or not) it really is.
On the other hand, if you prefer thinner headbands, look for one that has a grippy silicone inner lining that will help it stay in place. Note that for those with thin or damaged hair, silicone may cause some pulling and breakage, so assess your hair strength before looking for a grippy lining. Velvet linings are a good, gentler alternative.
If, however, you’re looking more for daily wear, feel free to get a sports headband; but also know that you probably won’t need quite as strong of a grip. You’re also more likely to find more patterns and styles with everyday options, from knotted headbands to those embellished with bows or sequins.

These headbands have a smaller circumference, but the fabric’s stretch both keeps them in place and prevents them from feeling too tight. They also come in a variety of colors and patterns and can be folded into a thinner band. Reviewers note that these will stay put even while doing high-intensity workouts and for those with straight, fine hair.
These adjustable headbands are great for those who have a hard time finding something that fits. Each headband is lined with velvet to help it stay in place without pulling at your hair or tugging at your scalp. Reviewers note that they’re grippy enough for low-impact workouts like pilates and yoga.

This features a silicone lined elastic band for those who have issues with the backs of their headbands slipping up and they stay put even when jumping or running. The front band is stretchy and soft and won’t tug at your baby hairs. Reviewers were very happy with its grip and how much sweat it can absorb.
This headband is grippy enough for basically any activity from yoga to dance cardio and running. While it isn’t particularly absorbent, it definitely doesn’t slip. A few reviewers note that the elastic snaps easily and the fit can be a bit tight. However, they like that it comes in so many colors and patterns and say it stays in place well!
This headband is soft and stretchy and won’t cause any discomfort or pain, even for those with larger heads. But some reviewers experience issues with the fit and slippage, but most of them seem to not experience any slipping, and many with small heads consider it a game-changer.
Although they’re called yoga headbands, these are designed to wick sweat and stay put no matter the activity. They’re high quality and won’t fade or stretch no matter how many times you wash and machine dry them. Though many reviewers say this isn't one-size-fits-all, other reviewers report that these are also great at keeping large, unruly hair in place.
This headband features a tapered design that’s five inches at its widest to keep your hair in place and one inch at its narrowest to prevent slipping upwards. The fabric is also very breathable, making it easy to wear when it’s hot out.
However, reviewers note that this headband is best for those with medium or average sized heads between 21 and 23 inches. Reviewers didn't like the price, but they did say that the product is functional and soft.
If you’re the kind of person that likes to have a few headbands scattered throughout your home (or tend to lose them often), this set of eight is for you. Despite their low per-unit cost, these headbands are almost universally loved by reviewers, with most reporting that they’re slip-free. However, some reviewers have noted variance between the different colored bands in terms of fit.
Features:
Under Armor's headband is built to wick sweat and divert any rogue drips to the side of your face, keeping it away from your eyes. Some reviewers with particularly thin hair may experience slipping, but most people note that it works well, especially in sports settings.
Some reviewers note that the silicone strip is too thin and isn’t as effective as it could be. But at this low price point, they work better than you’d expect for all but those with particularly unruly hair—reviewers mention that they're great at keeping loose hair off the face.
