Headbands headbands! I have a love hate relationship with them! I LOVE them, especially when working out. I absolutely cannot stand ANYTHING touching my face or neck when working out. A head band is absolutely essential for me! The times I forget my headband, I swear I almost go crazy! I usually have worn the knit stretchy headbands when working out because those are the only ones that are loose enough but stay (kinda) put. This loose factor is the thing I hate about headbands. I don’t know if I have an unusually sensitive head, but I get headaches really easy from headbands. Almost any hat will give me a headache, and most solid moon shaped headbands are out of the question. I’ve had some luck here and there with smaller skinny headbands, but inevitably they always end up sliding up my head! Ladies… if you suffer similar headband woes, your answer is here! I teamed up with a couple other of our Moms to try out some headbands from banded2gether, a great company with a fantastic idea. Provide stylish, comfortable headbands that don’t slip, and also fit great. Not too tight, not too loose. The secret is in their patent pending Opti-Size™ technology, which allows the headbands to fit tighter on a smaller head and fit looser on a larger head.
I was excited to try these out to see how they passed the A: workout (slipping) test and, B: my sensitive head test! I received a couple of skinny bands and a regular one too. I just started exercising again after having my baby, yesterday was my first run. Perfect test time! I was totally impressed. Not only did it not budge during my run, but when I had to re-do ponytail pull through, I didn’t have to re-adjust the headband. I usually have to re-adjust! Anyone know what I’m talking about? And if you have headphones on, it can be super annoying! These band are velvet lined, which allow them to stay put without pulling your hair. Test A passed! Now to test B. These bands really lived up to their claim. They hugged my head perfectly, but with no extra pressure that caused a headache. I was totally amazed! I then put them to a double test. I love the look of layers, so I layered the 2 skinnies together when I was out and about. I thought for sure if anything would give me a headache, this would be it. When I first put them both on, they were a little snug and I thought that would be it. But they adjusted and I didn’t have any problem. I don’t want to say they loosened, because they didn’t. They stayed snug and in place, but they got so comfortable I didn’t remember they were on. I was able to wear them all day too! Usually I take my headbands off and soon as I get home because the pressure gets to be too much!

Here’s what the other gals had to say about their headbands:
My little three year old is in LOVE with headbands. While I am thrilled that she finally let’s me put things in her hair, I don’t like it when her headbands squeeze her little head and leave marks. I was very happy when Banded sent us a handful of fun headbands to test out. They fit perfectly. No harsh squeezing and hurting at all from the band. They feature a velvet back that makes them super comfortable and we can both wear them. Here’s my daughter sporting her favorite ‘purple banded headband’ on her birthday. Thanks banded for making a headband that doesn’t hurt and stays put all day long. Real Mom (and daughter) recommended!
