Keeping my headphones on my head. Any tips?

I bought a pair of Bose on ear headphones. They are great but if i move around a lot wearing them they slip off as I have very slippy straight hair. Is there anything i can do/buy to stop them doing this?

I have googled 'foam, grippy thing to stop headphones slipping off head' as i have no concept of what such an item (if it even exists) would be called. I think i need some sort of head velcro!

Thanks

I use to have a pair and CAREFULLY very CAREFULLY bent them into a tighter shape.

It's only wire under the headphone arch so unless they have drastically a changed how they are made you should be able to bend them.

I don't think bending them would help. I need to make the foam band less slippy.

Can you get a pair of those slipper socks that have the plastic bobble grips underneath and fashion them/cut and sew and then fix around the band?

If you are OK with probably voiding the warrantee, use a glue gun on the surface that touches your head/head. A wiggly line all along it and presto! Non slip.

I'm liking the bobble sock suggestion. I could fashion a little band and stitch it round the head band.

I have ordered these black ones from Amazon for £3.59. Hopefully I can fashion something fairly subtle from them.
