When you're working out, you want as few things to get in the way as possible. I'm talking about your clothing, your shoes, and even your hair. Regarding the last one, there's nothing more annoying to me when I'm in the middle of a workout than my hair getting in my face with every movement, but I can't fix it because I'm focused on the task at hand.

There's an easy, why-didn't-I-think-of-that solution for this problem: a headband. Who would have thought? The best workout headbands can keep the hair out of the way, and some even wick away sweat to keep your face clear. Now, I try to make sure my ponytail is tight and my hair is swept back before every workout—and sometimes I add that headband for extra help.

Take a look at some options below.

1. Lululemon Fly Away Tamer Headband

2. Alo Airlift Headband

3. Athleta Skinny Strap Headband
