Men's Hairband (alice band)

Hey everyone, I model and I have a client that wants my hair long for a shoot. I'm in the in between stage where its hard to do anything with my VERY THICK FORWARD-BOUND hair. To keep my hair tamed at the length its at now I am wearing Nike hair bands to keep the bangs back. (helps keep me from thinking of "Alice Band". I guess you could relate it to some soccer players and all you see on tv. I have read around seeking some opinions people have and I see half "thats gay" responses and the other half usually say it depends on whether you can pull it off.

As far as the "GAY" comments, i don't really care, i already get it enough from my friends for modeling so i'm comfortable and numb to it. But I would appreciate some honest opinions on what you think. I'm attaching a few photos of me wearing it as well as one with me not wearing it at all.

I DO have a shirt off because i heard a lot of ppl say it depends on appearance and how masculine a guy already is. So tell me what you think, I would just like to know if it would be appropriate for me individually to wear out in public. I've already worn them at the gym a couple times and its very convenient. Thanks!
