Yes, try on every helmet you can...wear each one for 20+ minutes to see if it gives you a headache. Do the "roll test" (try to pull it off by rotating it forward towards your face) to make sure it fits. It should be snug all around but not squeezing 'til your eyeballs pop out.

Finally, don't bother with 1/2 or 3/4 helmets. I've seen guys who've done faceplants in 3/4 helmets and it ain't pretty.
