i've always worn a bandana or a watch cap under my headlamps.
just curious if anyone else does the same.

really depends on the situation. a helmet, beanie, or bandana.

Usually nothing. The feeling of the headlamp doesn't bother me but if I'm wearing a hat at the time I put the headlamp on then it goes over the hat.

Yes, I have a low-ride welder's cap just for that purpose.

Beanie when it's cold (lack of hair on top of my head)

Usually, a small amount of hair! But a beanie when it's cold, and it goes over my helmet when I'm climbing

Use a cycling cap for extra cushioning and less slip with the visor. Like a welder's cap, it has a small visor that doesn't block much light when aimed down.

A warm hat if it's cold, or the hood of my Gore-Tex jacket if it's raining.

Hair or Hair and a Helmet
I tend to find that my hair gets into the way of the headlamp unless its really short - that results in me wearing the headlamp low instead, about 1.5" above my eyebrows.
Alternatively, it gets tossed onto my helmet above my googles (if I am wearing a helmet) and then it rides high.
Hmm.. seems like there is no in-between for me. It's either high, or low.

I wouldn't do such a thing mate. I mean if it looks good for you then go for it.

Forehead, baseball cap, helmet, or balaclava... depending on the situation...
Nothing so far, but have only had it a few weeks (not experienced wearing it in very hot or cold weather yet). I've heard some complaints about ZL's headbands but I am surprised how comfy my H51w is, the silicone holder is very soft and the headband too. I have no complaints (well other than the after image imprinted on my forehead of the silicone holder) but that doesnt bother me.

I don't wear anything under my ITP HO1, I find the strap is so comfortable that I don't need to.

Small floppy hat if it's warm. Or a beanie if it's cold. Sometimes a full-face polypropylene one.
