Find an appropriate sized female thigh and, after hopefully much searching, borrow her garter band. Hopefully red velvet will match your jersey. If not keep searching-- high and low. [Sorry, couldn't resist.]

On the cheap? Cut the sleeves off a t-shirt. Now you have a sleeveless shirt and 2 head bands.
The best I have found tho' is a cycling cap by "Headsweats", it's made from a very thin wicking material plus a built in terry cloth band. They make a "do-rag" style too.

If sweat gets in your eyes, . . .
try a Halo Headband (www.haloheadband.com). My favorite for use under a cycling helmet is the Halo Protex. I've tried several, but if you want to keep the sweat out of your eyes, this one works.

I've got both the head band and cap style, both work fine.

I've always used a bandanna folded as a sweatband. I have one "Headsweats" do-rag which works pretty well, that I use infrequently.
Do you guys think the "Halo" is better? Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks for all the info on sweat bands. Halo looks good. I plan to pick one up soon. I will
use a bandanna or rag until then.

I had a Halo and while it helped it could not keep up with the major sweat produced from riding down here in the summer. I have switched to the CoolMax Doo Rag and that does a much better job, however, Sat was so bad it could not even keep up. I felt more like I had been swimming rather than biking. I know when it is bad when I can ring 30mls of sweat out of each of my gloves after a ride.

There's another sweat thing. I think it was mentioned in the Road Cycling thread. I thinks its like Sweat Gutter. Here's the site: https://www.sweatgutr.com/
From the looks of it, I would give it a try. My guess is that its better than the halo.
