My hair is straight and fine.  Clamps, barrettes, and elastic bands get in the way and slip off when I'm active.  I need something to keep my hair out of my eyes during my yoga stretches and kick boxing.  What a relief it is, to discover cloth headbands like these!

These headbands are attractive and comfortable to wear while working out.  (If I were to wear them all day, I might find them tight after many hours.  But for 2 hours, they are great.)  I hand wash them and air dry them on a hanger.  They dry within 12 hours.  When I do the wheel (yoga backbend), I pull the headband down about an inch or two lower across my forehead, to keep it from falling off my head.  After my backbend, I push the headband back up for the rest of my activity.  I am totally sold on cloth headbands for working out, and these headbands are great for my purposes.
