I love listening to music with headphones but i also like my hair the way it is

Im sure im not the only one here with this problem. The headband always pushes down my hair and after prolonged use, there is an obvious patch of hair across my head that has been squished.

Such a dilemmic situation. I want to be able to enjoy good sound while still looking good. So how do you guys deal with it (assuming its less of a problem for girls). And sorry if a thread like this already exist. I havent mastered the search button yet

Holy crap, I never made the connection that the flattened band of my hair came from my headphones!

sorry, I have no answer, but am now interested in knowing too.

I guess you could try IEMs, but I'm assuming you don't like them for home use (I don't either)

get a buzz cut. once you are a true believer, that or baldness is the only way to go.

Some of us look like total crap with buzz cuts though.

Why?

A woman's hair is just as important to her appearance as her clothing and makeup and most of us spend a good deal of time styling it. Depending upon hairstyle, headphones can be catastrophic.

The only solution I have found for 'headphone hair' is to use my KSC75's or ER6's once I've done my hair, saving my k701's or sr225's for evening.

I actually push the hair back before i put on my headphones, this gives the reverse effect and you are left with a faux hawk, trim the sides a bit and you my friend are cool as ice. best part, no pruduct to get all over your phones.

A do rag, bandanna, or skull cap will flatten out the rest of your hair while you're using headphones. No more sideways reverse mohawk at least.

Wear them with the band behind your head (works with Grado-type cans). With big, heavy, circumaural cans like the high end Sennheiser line there's no good way around it

Yea ive been doing that with my SR60's. I kinda tilt it a bit so the headban rests around where my little spiral on my head is. But it then relies more on the friction of the pads against my ear rather than the headband to stay on. Sometimes, it slips off. Its my best solution to "minimize the damage"

I have a buzz cut myself so it's not an issue. When my hair gets longer it does become a problem, but who cares? With all the weird looking hair styles around lately, who even notices? I say frack it!

 

[Dzjudz]

I just ruffle my hear around when I take my HD650 off. But hanalei mike's solution is best so far, cool as ice indeed

Some of you are just going to have to lose the MULLETS.

 

[Zenja]

Neither of my headphones has given me problems with headphone hair. You would kind of expect the SA5000 with its tent headband to do it, but it doesn't.

 

[smeggy]

Honestly, the things you lot worry about!

Hairproof sound, get some IEMs,

With the return of the mohawk to popularity, its only time until mullets are cool again. I, for one, choose to stay ahead of the curve.

Edit: I just noticed this.
