I am looking for headbands for work that will stay put. I have longish, thin hair, a weirdly-shaped head, and a huge fore(five)head and they all seem to just slip off. With this PPE I've totally given up on my hair. Anyone have any types/styles/brands that you particularly like?

I had the same problem and spent forever and ever searching high and low for quality headbands that stay put. I can't wear cotton ones, though I desperately wish I could because they look so soft and comfy. But they just slide right off.
Anyway, I finally found the perfect headband!
Sweaty Bands: sweatybands.com
I sweat a ton and needed something that would stay put and absorb sweat and these did the trick. I've washed them a ton of times and they're still doing great. I prefer the 1.5 inch headbands, but you may like other sizes.
Disclaimer: they worked for me, so they may not for you, but I highly recommend them.
