VANCROWN Headband Neck Gaiter Head Wrap Headwear Face Mask Magic Scarf Bandana for Men and Women

I bought these to use as a headband to help hold my cochlear implant. The fabric is stretchy and holds well to the head without sliding off. Fabric prints are as in the photo. Lightweight and easy to adjust the width to however wide you like. Can be used as a gator face covering. Great price. Would buy again

Probably the best $11 I've ever spent! Okay, so that might be a bit of hyperbole, but seriously, these unassuming, versatile tubes of colorful knit polyester fabric added an inordinate amount of joy to my last backpacking trip in mid-May.Background: I am an avid hiker and backpacker here in the Four Corners region of the US, and one of the things I never leave home without is a bandana. They are useful, but a bit lacking, so my search for something better brought me to this product on Amazon, which sounded great, and at that price, totally worth taking a chance on.Order arrived on the day promised and in time for my trip. Each band arrives neatly folded in its own plastic baggie, and there is even a little info sheet regarding the testing of the material, dyes and care for these - unreal! Anyway, they are as described in the product description: seamless tubes, un-hemmed and out of a soft knit fabric that's an ideal weight: not too thick, and not too thin. I bought the blue set of 6, and the patterns are even better than the picture shows.Anyway, on my 4-night, 5-day trip, this exceeded my expectations: so comfortable, and I literally did not take it from the time my sun hat came off to the time I put it back on the next day. Folded over once, it kept my ears covered (and helped to keep out the No-See-Um gnats that are the bane of spring here in canyon country) and my hair out of my face. At night, I slept in it, using it as a blindfold of sorts to keep out the bright light of the full moon. Later towards the end of the trip as a storm was rolling through the region, it alternated between a light neck warmer and ear band.It's hard to imagine something so small could improve the quality of my backpacking trip as much as it did, but it really did. In future trips, I'll now use it as a neck gaiter while hiking to keep the sun off my neck...and if it's hot, just soak it. The bandana will still come along, and be relegated to one of its original and best uses: a snot rag ;).Also, I threw it in the washer and dryer, and it laundered like a champ. I threw one in my gym bag to wear, and it worked better than my hand-crocheted headband to keep my hair out of my face, and another I have to wear when I'm cooking and baking to keep hair from getting into my food (even finding my own hair in my food grosses me out). So, yeah - this product gets 5 stars and two thumbs' up from me! If they ever make a set in purples, I'll buy them in a flash.Another note: I wear glasses, and I personally did not find the band to be so tight with the glasses that it caused a headache, and I have had that happen before with other hats/headbands. If you have an exceptionally large cabbage and the arms of your glasses are thick, I suppose it could be an issue. However, it's easy enough to fold the fabric up or twist it so it's not encapsulating your ears.

They're pretty good. The space pattern is cute. However, they do tend to slip and slide around your head with long term wear.

I have a lot of hair and a big head! These did great while I was atv riding. Didn’t come loose and didn’t make by head sweat. Very comfortable could hardly even tell it was there. I like that I can just pull it up into a headband then easily pull it back to cover my hair while riding.

TL;DR: Giant tubes that you can use as hair restraints, neck-warmers, face masks, and more (Wrap a yoga mat! use as a travel pillow cover! The possibilities are endless-ish!). Quite stretchy: I once put one on as a tube-top as a joke (I'm a slim dude, but still). Wicks sweat and keeps you from becoming the world's most disgusting sprinkler system when you're sweaty as heck. Staggering array of color choices. Highly recommended; will order again and again.Pro tip: Cut some in half (so one tube becomes two tubes) to make shorter hair wraps; leave some full length for versatility. You don't even have to seal the cut ends with a lighter.My Mom bought me a set of these, and shortly thereafter I added a second set. I kind of love them, you guys.I'm a ballet dancer and I sweat like a cold drink on a muggy afternoon (read: profusely and unstoppably). Heretofore, my answer has been to just keep my hair really short so it doesn't fling sweat all over everybody, but with Petipa's Sleeping Beauty in the mix this season a more old-fashioned look was in order.A while back I bought a wide Alice band to keep things contained, but at $6 for one band, it didn't make sense for someone whose work involves sweating balls all day, 5-6 days/week. Moreover, the one I bought was a little narrower than I really wanted it to be. It did control both sweat and hair, but had to be washed every couple of days, which was inconvenient.These things solved both problems.I was worried that they'd overheat my head: they don't.I was worried that they wouldn't wick sweat: they do.I was worried that they'd be impractically long: they aren't. I did cut some into two shorter tubes, and I use both those and the full-length ones more or less interchangeably.Note: If you want a headband less than half the length of these, consider using a half-length section doubled over and sewn in one spot (I'll post a pic ASAP). The fabric is very thin, and I've found that shorter sections tend just to roll up unless you do something along those lines.I now use these every day in class and rehearsal--in fact, I use them frequently outside of the studio as well.I machine wash these in cold water (hot water is bad for stretchy fabrics, generally) and tumble dry them on low heat, usually in a zippered mesh bag to keep them together. So far, they're holding up quite well, considering the abuse they take on a daily basis. Another pro tip: wash and dry these (and any wicking fabric, and also towels) without fabric softener. Fabric softener forms a coating on fabrics that prevents them from wicking sweat properly.I'm planning on taking a bunch of these with me to Burning Man this year to see how they do in a profoundly inhospitable environment. I'll report back, of course.Overall, I really like these and recommend them. They won't mow your lawn and build you a deck, but they'll manage your hair and sweat while you do, and that's pretty good!

They're very pretty, the fabric is sturdy, seems durable and very stretchy however the ends are obviously just rough cut; not tattered or anything, just not finished or even sliced cleanly. With the fabric being heavier than expected, they aren't great for wearing over the mouth or even as a head wrap in warmer months. Also they smell strongly of Gonesh #2 incense. I know this because it's one of my favorites so I have a package here to compare it with, lol. This scent may bother some people, for me it will be lovely for a head band but over powering as a face mask which as mentioned before, the fabric is too heavy for a mask anyway. Overall, I'll use them for head bands but I'm disappointed they won't be as versatile as I was hoping (and paying) for. Had they been more breathable with nicer ends I'd have bought three more packs.

Great value, very versatile, have these in other prints, lightweight material. Holds up well with washing.

These are nice. A perfect size to cover your hair.
