I second this, the person who cuts my hair told me never to wear it.
Why?
And, metal ones would be super, but I don't have 400 dollars kicking around right now.

I wouldn't want to lose respect from the Metul community, so the disclaimer is needed.
xD
I'll get rid of it at some point.

I think it depends some on the headphones though. I'm able to wear my HD580s without messing up my hair too much (though I haven't worn gel in a while) so I would guess they would be fine. But my HD280s on the other hand I'm sure could cut through anything short of epoxy.... Though I suppose you could go for the DJ look with them as has been suggested. The extra head clamping would make sure that they stayed on.

Actually, I suppose I should say that I'm not using "gel" in my hair, but "hair glue".
It's really stiff stuff, for those that know what hair glue is. The only problem is that it's pretty quick to flake.

I think this issue was brought once before - at least in the span of my membership here.
Yeah, headphones and hair products don't mix too well... that is, unless you're the type who doesn't care about how you look in public.
The way I deal with it is to listen to headphones at night before going to bed. I could care less about how I look then.
One trick might be to tilt back the headband so that it rest on that natural hair parting point on the upper back of your skull. I've found that, with a short hair cut, you can just run your fingers through your hair at that point a bit after listening and it'll look natural again.
Normally, I refrain from listening during the day partially because I don't want wax or gel building up on my headphones. Plus, I can't listen to a full size can at work so it seldom gets to be an issue. For daytime, canalphones works best.

This would make for some very interesting staging on a K-1000
