Hygge bands, am I doing something wrong?

[BlackAmericanoNoSugar]

I can't get it to stay in place at all. Within 30 seconds it starts to slip upwards at the back. I've tried it a few different ways, folded, crinkled, under hair, over hair, behind ears, over ears. I have a medium sized head but very fine, silky hair which I guess is slippery.

I was thinking of buying one, I might not now!

It might work for you ElBanana, I bought mine because so many people on MN raved about them.

They wouldn't work for me. But this type do:

They're bigger than normal Buffs so I don't understand their claim to never slip. Just buy a Buff, they are smaller!

I wear mine as a scrunchy usually and it is the only one that stays in place all day and doesn't let stray hairs escape or need regular adjusting.
As a headband, I feel like a potato head but that is true of all headbands on me.

Cut in in half and then you have two smaller hygge bands which miraculously don't ride up and don't fray. I have done it and it works.

I think there is too much fabric which causes them to roll up a bit on those of us who are blessed with a melon head.

It never occurred to me to cut one in half.
I always look shite in mine as there's too much material and seems quite tight.

I’ll try cutting it, thanks.
