How can you prevent bald spots from headgear?

I use a FitLife mask and after getting a haircut today notice a noticeable thin hair spot on the back of my head where my headgear rests. Quite upsetting since I keep my hair very short in the back. Has anyone experienced this problem and how did you solve it?

Try a Buff, or add lining.
Here's a thread which may be of interest:

Bump. Some of the soft, knitted chemo sleep caps made quite a hit.

quietmorning wrote:I have medium long curly hair - and the cpap mask whether I use Velcro with it (love this idea) or not, pulls a significant amount of my hair out every night. . . so I started on a search to try to find something that will protect my hair and keep my mask from slipping all at the same time.

Last night I tried this:

When I put the cap on the first time, my initial thought was that the mask would probably slip - but it was slipping already, any way, so I'd make adjustments from there. I thought I might have to sew some ties on it and maybe some velcro on the back of my mask. The lace around the crown of the head works well with velcro, by the way.

I used just the mask last night - absolutely NOTHING slipped. I bunned my hair and put the cap on. The cap did not slip at all, either.

I am impressed. This morning I purchased a few more things to try out with my mask at night - I'll update this with each trial as I try each product.

Happy Happy.

Buff works for both my husband and me. Get the "original". http://www.rei.com/brand/Buff?gclid=CPb ... 02003145:s

Padacheek offers a strap just for the fitlife headgear. I was also having a hard time with the headgear. I have used the strap cover for a few years and it has solved my issues. The stap is getting sorta worn out. I'll need a new one soon.
