How do I maintain my headband?

What if I feel that my headband stops cooling me while using it?

When you first put the headband on, the material feels cold because it is at room temperature and it quickly absorbs your heat until its temperature is almost the same as the one of your skin. Basically becoming an extension of it.

Since the headband is continuously cooling you thanks to its extended surface, your skin's thermoreceptors will eventually get used to this stimulus. Although you may stop perceiving its local effects, you should be able to notice its general effects on your body, like improved thermal comfort, reduced fatigue, lower heart rate, etc.
