My friend (no, really!) is hoping to somehow find the green-headbanded porn film that imprinted on his 14-year-old brain in the mid-90s. [NSFW, natch] "Looked very eighties, I seem to remember the woman looked kind of like Linda Hamilton (circa Terminator 1). She was wearing a drab green or olive green headband across her forehead, eighties style. It was just her and some guy. They did anal, along with everything else. The year it was watched, on VHS tape, was 1993. Possibly a darkish room with just a bed and no furnishings. Caucasian woman with light brown or possibly blond hair. Pubes were not alarmingly overgrown by 14 yo boy standards."

Are we fishing for a needle in a haystack?

Does anyone make a comfortable headband for women?

Does anyone make a comfortable headband for women? I frequently give my very voluminous hair a little control by wearing my sunglasses on the top of my head, so the bangs are in front and the rest is sort of lightly restrained. It is, however, a very informal look and I'd like to be a little less casual at work. Are there headbands that actually work on adult heads? Every headband I've bought from the drug store is too tight behind the ears, and ends up giving me a headache. I can't quite get the same look from a loop of elastic or fabric, unless maybe there's a way of arranging the hair over it to be less...sweatband-ish? How do you ladies pin your hair out of your face without resorting to a ponytail?
