Definately like the headband idea...have to look into that one with the coolmax. Think I'm going to get it cut a little longer than jaw length. I have bangs and they are always getting in the way anyway, so I think I'll be better off with the headband. I'm ready for a change. I need something that is low maintenance! I might think differently tomorrow morning when we go for our ride though...we are expecting our first frost of the year so I might enjoy the extra warmth my long hair will give me! I am really hating the thought of winter and all those hours on my indoor trainer...
