I always thought of this in regard to ring of sustenance. It takes a week to attune. Basically, if you want it to work you can never take it off.
I think about this every time I wash my hands with my engagement ring on. Water inevitably gets under it. I then have to move it up my finger, but without taking it off, to dry underneath before I slip it back into the right place.
With all that in mind I wonder how annoying it would be to shower with a circlet on. I have short hair, so it'd be easier, but still irritating. What does someone with long hair do? You'd never be able to really comb or style your hair. Eventually the whole thing would look like a rats nest.
I usually play cerebral characters, so the belt is less of an issue. However, that'd be more annoying. How would you take off your pants without removing your belt? You'd have to wear the belt as an accessory and not as a functional item. Then what if you have to wear another non-magic belt to hold up your pants. Does it count as not worn if you unbuckle it? You'd never be able to unzip your pants to pee.
My general rationalization is that so long as your touching the attuned item (ring, circlet, belt) it stays attuned even if it's temporarily in the wrong place. However, you'd want to put it back in the right spot in a reasonable amount of time.
Its weird, but I think about this stuff all the time.
no decent adventurer should have long hair
i personally make all my characters bald but its probably actually fine as long as your hairs not long long hair is to much of a liability
