Helmet for a narrow head

My Kask Mojito has never fit me very well - it kind of dents my forehead :-(
I ordered a POC Octal X Spin, a POC Ventral Spin, and a Giro Synthe from CC. All three, when cinched and the chin strap is tight, let me put my fingertips in between the side of my head and the helmet. My circumference is 57cm, so I'm smack in the middle of POC's Medium size, but they don't fit.

Suggestions please!
Thanks

Lazer. Made for weird Flemish and Dutch heads. Like mine.

I have a long oval; narrow face and the Specialized Prevail II and POC Tectal Spin (MTB) are the only two helmets that fit me perfect.

Thanks, I have heard this before. I'm on the line between Small and Medium, and I'm going to start with Small this time. Ordered a Z1 MIPS.

We just had this thread. I'll add that Lazer is definitely more of a "medium oval" than a long oval.
