I have tried many, many, many head bands and ultimately, I go back to a visor or a cap because I seem to have an oddly shaped head, or at least that is what my daughter tells me every time she sees a new head band pop right off my head. She laughs, I get frustrated, same ol' story every time.
I woke up today at 6am and got ready to get on the tread mill. I had spoken with the creator of Heads Up Bands. I wanted this head band to work because it would prove to my daughter that my head is fine and more importantly, the creator, is an amazing woman (she chose to keep her name private). She began these head band creations out of a most distressful event, breast cancer. Hair regrowth led to wild hair. I had mentioned to her that I had crazy curly hair and she let me know how she needed something to keep her hair under control as she made her way back from fighting something that no woman should have to. Somehow, she managed to take something negative and create something positive.

I put the head band on hoping it would stay on. I started running. This head band stayed on my head through out a warm up, crazy intervals and a cool down. I could not believe it.

| In the middle of intervals (hence the blurry pic) - shocked that it was still on! |
My daughter woke up when I was done and tried to steal it from me. She's 10. I won, I'm stronger than her.

| Excuse the sweaty face, frizzy hair and wet shirt - but notice, the head band is still on and in place! |

I use these also. Same bands with a dif brand name. I love love love them. The thinner ones are my favorite, they work well underneath bike helmets as well to keep sweat from rolling in your eyes. I admit I originally was dismissive of them as its just ribbon with a strip of velvet. A friend bought one for me so I thought I would try it and I have bought about a dozen more since then. Great product!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback! I felt the same as you. I was thinking it would slip right off! I haven't tried them for road biking but I am definitely doing so next time I go out for a spin. :-) Thanks for the advice!
