    Try skull caps from Crown Wear. They are actually hat liners. They are made in Phoenix, extremely light, and come in sizes that actually fit small women's heads. Not very much money, either.

    Someone on another thread mentioned applying lip balm over their eyes to keep sweat out of them. I was going to try this last weekend but forgot...maybe next ride...

    I"ve done the lip balm thing and it definitely helps. Especially when coupled with a band. I picked up some Bondi Bands at the last race expo I was at. I LOVE THEM. You can use the coupon code ONE for but 3 get one free or FIVE for five headbands for $25.

    Skull caps, FTW! Ever since I cut my hair short, sweat just gushes off of my nearly-bare head and onto my face. It's pretty gross... A wicking skull cap under my helmet really does make a difference.

    Now, if only I could figure out how to wear a head band at the gym and not look like Rambo

    thanks for all the info. I will definitely try the lip balm tomorrow on my ride to see if that helps, and will see if I can find a halo headband or a wicking skull cap in town. I'm going on a week-long bike tour on Saturday so need something in a pinch. I like the bondi bands and the skull caps from crown wear and will look into those when I return.

    Thanks, guys!! I knew I could count on you for help!!!

    Darn you, cascading sweat waterfalls upon thy crown.

    I'm doing a cross-state tour of my own state (Oklahoma). It's a supported tour, although I haven't decided if I'm going self-contained or letting the truck haul all my gear...
    We travel south to north (presumably letting the southerly winds push us, although of the last 3 years, there have been plenty of days with headwinds).
