Abstract
Abstract A disposable headband that is made from a thin sheet of non-woven material, as absorption strip and a label strip. The non-woven material is absorbent to liquid perspiration. The absorption strip is formed of material readily permeated by liquid perspiration and a liquid absorbing media. The absorption strip is placed onto the thin sheet of non-woven material, where the thin sheet of non-woven material is folded over the absorption strip to encase the absorption strip. Finally, a label strip, comprising a material substantially impervious to liquid perspiration, is adhered to the non-woven sheet for securing the absorption strip therein.
