* A mix of the top sweatbands to keep you looking great while working out
* Includes bands for yoga, daytime lounging and long distance running
* These bands will keep your hair out of your face or work to absorb your sweat
Russell Brand, Kristen Stewart and David Beckham have all been known to wear sweatbands. While they do look good on these celebrities, exercise headbands serve more of a function than a fashion.
Most sweatbands can be worn either on your head or your wrist, depending on design, and are used to keep your sweat and hair out of your eyes. Use them to dry your face and keep annoying short strands in place, too. These eight options are less than 20 bucks and are well-reviewed online.
1. Self Pro Mens Headband
With an enlarged forehead covering, this sweat-targeting headband will keep your face free from moisture even in the harshest of conditions. The lightweight design and stretchy material also ensure you remain comfortable during your workout.
2. Suddora Headbands
Enjoy that classic workout look with Suddora headbands. Available in a huge range of colors, including eye-catching neons, these simple 80% cotton headbands are great for keeping sweat out of your face while you workout.
3. Suddora Striped Wrist Sweatbands
Available in a red, white and blue or rainbow design, this pair of comfortable wristbands allows you to wipe away all your sweat while working out. The flexible material and one-size-fits-all elasticity means they’re ideal for both wrist and forearm use, too.
4. Nextour Sweatband

6. Moisture Wicking Turban Headband
This slip-over lycra headband allows you to choose from a number of different ways to wear it. You can have a different style for every day of the week as you enjoy workouts free from dripping sweat.

7. Mission VaporActive Cooling Marathon Headband
Never let a hair get out of place with these Mission Cooling Headbands. The slim cut allows the headband to sit perfectly on your head like a hairband, in order to keep your hair in place without feeling constricting. Internal particles found within the material also help to capture odor-causing molecules, helping to prevent any unwanted odors during exercise.
8. BLOM Women’s Headband for Yoga
This women’s headband features a moveable knot and stylish pleat detailing. The quality fabric clings to your head without leaving you feeling constricted, while the flexible free-flowing band can be positioned for a variety of uses, such as yoga, running or just lounging around the house.
