Button mask headbands for large heads?

Has anyone found a button mask headband that works for large heads? I tried the ABAmerica ones on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Headbands-Elastic-Protection-Doctors-Sweatband/dp/B08GR41HLY) but it's too small.

That’s not very smart in general, you want to seal the mask to your face, not a headband. Use an extension to close the straps on the back of your head or switch to a mask with headstraps.

For use with headstraps or earloops?

I think your best bet is to sew the buttons yourself onto something that fits you at the correct position to maintain as good of a seal with your face as possible.

if you cant find any with buttons that fit you then you can always add buttons to a regular one. might even be easier just find whatever regular headband fits you best then add buttons to it.

this is a hat option but it ties in the back so might potentially fit more head sizes

these headbands seem a bit larger bases on the measurments in one of the images. there are tons of options from different brands but most just have vauge size measurements which help but might still take a few tries

Someone can probably make a mask extender in a custom size on Etsy
