I have always struggled to find the perfect sports headband to wear for running and other activities. I have always found ones that are okay but they end up slipping off after awhile, so when I Sweaty Bands offered to send me a sample of their product I jumped at the opportunity. Sweaty Bands are made to grip and hold your hair all without slipping or causing breakage. In addition to holding your hair back they soak up sweat without dripping and keep those wispy little hairs out of your face.
I was a little skeptical when I first took it out of the package because it looks like a few of the other active headbands I have but I was surprised by how well it worked. I first tried it out during my last training run and it worked well but the real test was going to be my 5k race. Since it’s been so hot out I have been wearing a bandana to help keep the sweat from dripping down my face but it’s bulky and tends to shift a lot during my run so I was hoping that the Sweaty Band would help with both keeping my hair out of my face and catch a bit of my sweat.
To my delight the Sweaty Band did indeed keep my hair out of my face and most of the sweat off too. The band did not shift at all during my run and I barely even noticed it was on my head. In addition to keeping my hair back and the sweat off my face it is super cute and comes in a number of styles; I want the 13.1 Sweaty Band when I finish my first half.
Well now that I’ve told you how great it is (and it really is) I am going to give you a chance to win one yourself.

These would be so great for biking.
This is perfect! My hair always gets all in my face when I run. My boyfriend’s mom recently gave me some bands to wear but they do not stay in place at all. Within a quarter mile they’ve practically fallen off (even with a clip!)

In these sweltering temperatures, just a walk to the mailbox causes one to break a sweat! 🙂 Right now my favorite form of exercise is bicycling. In the winter, it’s working the kettlebell. Thanks for setting up a cool giveaway!

Chasing my toddler around is definitely a sweaty job!

I have been dying to find a headband that works for slippage and sweating. I am training for my first half marathon so running is where I sweat the most and could desperately use a sweaty band. At $15 plus shipping I just haven’t splurged. 🙁
Muscle pump class – the weight and cardo sprints make for some very sweaty class members! Sweatybands are great!
I am making these now and LOVE them! They are the same style, same no-slip design, but a MUCH better price. I even have Mommy and Me matching sets for your daughter(s).
Check it out!
