Show me what you wear on your head when you run in the summer: hats, visors, headbands, etc. I really need to find a running hat that will work for me.
I usually wear HeadSweats visors for the run portion of triathlons. That's usually the only time I wear hats. During training runs I wear A Girl and Her Band headbands.
I wear a white hat from a local running store. The underside of the bill is grey so the light doesn't bounce off and into my eyes. It is, maybe an Asics brand.. Not sure where the store gets their products.

I usually wear Bondibands to soak up the sweat. I have a white Nike running hat for when it rains. I'm thinking of trying a visor this summer. I also always wear sunglasses.
I got this hat at the Nike half to wear this summer, I figured white would be better on the sunny days. I also have a run happy Brooks hat I bought at a RnR race.
I only wore a hat once during a race because of rain. I typically wear bands like Susie posted. I also have a thick VS headband with rubber grips on the inside too.
I have a lot of hats and headbands, but my favorites are bondibands and my Salomon running hat.
ETA: I have one of those heads that every head band slips off of. I also have baby fine hair that gets damaged easily by rubber grippy headbands and too tight pony tails.
Thank you for all of the suggestions. I just ordered a hat and a visor from Running Wareshouse and will see how I like them. LOVE that they have free shipping and free returns.
boston340, that's where I order my shoes and hats too. I just recently got a nike feather lite hat and visor. I did get them both in black and would need a light color for the summer.
I cut up a Buff and use that as a headband in the cold to keep my ears warm and my headphones in. During the summer, I think I will use a headband plus glasses which I have stolen from my husband.
