EEEWWWW! You make is sound so doggone horrid! But I think the poster who said cotton doesn't dry out makes polyester the first choice. I do have hair. It would be nice if the head-rag dried out a bit if I stopped for 20 minutes for a break.
One size fits none. That halo cap would probably cover my ears. I finally found a light weight cap with a brim that fit me at REI.... in the kiddie section.
