A Classic Double-Band Style That's Designed To Reduce Pressure

One shopper even noted that "this is genuinely the only headband I can wear on a consistent basis with no issues of discomfort ever" and that it's the first one they bought that "lasted for several years."

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that the colors may vary — meaning the color will be randomly selected for you. Shoppers have reported receiving black, brown, blue, purple, and teal.
