Folded into a triangle, tied on like a cap/pirate, and it keeps my scalp from burning under my baby-fine hair through my helmet vents and holds my chin-length hair off my neck. (pull it down to your shoulders then slide it UP, it pulls your hair up with it.) I like wearing it pirate-style on the bike, then classic headband style when I get off the bike. Always looks presentable.
$2.50 at REI. Gazillions of colors and patterns. Most are made in USA.
And you can blow your nose on them.
I use a bandana too and usually carry two on a long ride---one for my hair and the other I tie to my stem. The one on my stem is all purpose and has been used to wipe sweat, clean up abrasions, tie around a bleeding leg and, of course, to blow my nose. I pick mine up at Wal Mart or the Dollar Store for $1 each.
