Skip the bandana. Cotton quickly soaks with sweat then does no good. A synthetic skullcap is much better at releasing the moisture into the air and keeps you drier.

On really warm days I wear a headsweat, and especially if I ride in an area where it's buggy. THe bugs in my hair sting my scalp! I feel sorry for men with hairy arms. It's then that I can really see the benefit of leg shaving. If it'snot REALLY too hot I'll just wear a headband.

I just bought a doorag and find that my whole body is much cooler since the sweat I normally squeeze out of my helmet at lights now gets wicked up onto the top of my head and cools it. It makes a huge difference to me.
