Best running headbands that are sweat-wicking and keep hair at bay

It’s the hair that usually makes the headlines - whether it’s Jack Grealish with his long floppy locks or David Beckham’s Noughties barnet embellished with a flurry of blonde highlights. 

But, believe it or not, it's more than just football and throngs of fawning fans that bind these two heartthrobs together. A steadfast companion has followed them throughout their careers, offering support every step of the way and ensuring they retain eagle-eyed vision during play. Not a manager nor a girlfriend, but a headband.

Headbands are a long-haired athlete’s best friend. They keep the baby hairs at bay while offering up a fashion statement that’s bound to tickle the fancy of the tabloids.
