What are the best kind to use, for comfort and sweat absorption? Cotton or the polyester/spandex variety? I've never used one before and would like to avoid the trial-and-error routine if possible.
Love my Under armour headband... used it during hoops to keep sweat out of my face last Fall and Summer... I am sure it is some synthetic material.
Could you post a link to the one you have? I already bought a Nike one of the stretch variety, but I haven't used it yet. (The no-name version I saw at Walmart looked comparatively cheap.) However, it fits rather tightly, and so I am presently trying to expand it by placing it around a large cooking pot (even bigger than my head!) and leaving it there for a few days. I don't expect to need a sweatband just yet because I work out first thing in the morning now, when the weather is still at or below freezing, with a window open. But air conditioning won't save me in the summer. And so, I want to be ready.

Use it sometimes on the warm-up. But usually use unlock your hip flexors exercises https://jenr-sports.com/cb-unlock-your-hip-flexors-review/.
