Are there alternative straps out there for masks that does not slide off?

Question 
Are there alternative straps out there for masks that does not slide off?
I have tested a few nose masks for my Resmed AirSense 10 and landed on the AirFit N30 being the most comfortable for me. 

It looks like this: https://sakta.se/wp-content/uploads/2020...e-view.jpg

However one problem I have is with the straps is that at least once a night, probably more I wake up with the straps having glided up my head and coming off so the mask is just sitting loose on my face. I actually think this makes me wake up and thus interrupting my sleep so it is very annoying. 

Do anyone know if there are alternative straps out there one can buy? I am thinking something like more of a strap with a "hairnet" that you put over your head would be more stable but I don't know if there is any such thing. Or if there are ways I can prevent the straps from sliding off? I have tried to tighten them but it still happens.

Adjustable CPAP Headgear for Dreamwear with Arms, Replacement Headgear can be purchased on amazon should work with the N30. I have used it with the P30i to prevent the strap from sliding up. It is available from amazon.

Didn't work for me.  I have the Dreamwear, the N30, and the N30i -- all with have large leaks for this active side sleeper.

Is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/Headgear-DreamWea...B07YQ9K18S

The mask displayed is a completely different model though so I dont think it is compatible with the 30i?

(EDIT: Saw some reviews saying they used it with the 30i so seems compatible so will test this!)

I have to put my hair in a ponytail to keep my P30 mask from sliding off my head. Even so, the part that hooks around to the front rides up to a position uncomfortably close to my eyes.
