I wear a big, thick cloth headband. My hair doesn't even touch my shoulders yet, so it just keeps my locks held back without pulling on it. Try a white one. It will keep you cooler since it's a lighter color than your hair

. Unless you happen to sweat more than the average person, and then you might find it too hot.
