headbands?

[rundisneymom]

Wow! You guys are talented! If it can't be made with stitch witch iron on tape, it doesn't get made in my house!

I'm a huge BondiBand fan... the sweat-wicking ones really work great, but I agree with previous posters that you do need to wear them the way they describe... right at the hair line. Not the most adorable look (the ones you guys have made are SO cute) but functionally, they are awesome. Mine come home from my walks soaking wet... (I'm a crazy sweat-er)... its kind of a contest now to see how hard I can push myself to see how much these suckers can hold. TMI...

Check out BicBands! I bought one after they were recommended to me and I love them! The bands run around $10 and come in different sizes.

I really like both Bondibands and Sweatybands.

I think the heavy wicking Bondis work better and stay put better. You really do have to wear them closer to you hair line to get them to stay put.

Sweaty Bands are made alot differnetly than Bondi Bands. Bondi are all stretchy. Sweaty are a non stretch fabic, except for a approx. 3 inch elastic band. I like them both equally I would say, they are just very different.

I have done reviews on both on my blog. I actually have a Sweaty Band giveaway going on right now!Check it out!

I made my own headbands as well for the Disneyland half marathon last year. These are a few that I made. Very easy and inexpensive to do.

Do you sell these?

I am not the poster of those photos-however I can tell you these are very easy to make if you can sew a basic straight stitch on a sewing machine. I googled sweaty bands and found a blogger who posted instructions. I've made about 25 of them for my girls and their friends in the last week or so. All you need is some ribbon, some velvet and some elastic. I found cute Minnie mouse/Ariel/Belle/Cinderella ribbon at Walmart. I also found sparkly ribbon and pink leopard at Hobby Lobby. Michaels has some Halloween ribbon out now.

Thanks for the tip! I will have to look at it, but I have to admit the sewing machine and I do not get along...

I went ahead and ordered a couple of SweatyBands and a 5 BondiBands (found a coupon code for 5 for $25). The bondiBands do not stay on my head...it always slips off unless I wear it like an old school sweatband across my forehead (funny, but horribly unattractive). The SweatyBands are better for me, but again, I feel like I am constantly tugging the elastic back down. If I didn't have my hair in a ponytail, I think the SweatyBand would slip off. My head must be horribly shaped, lol!
I recently invested in a visor made from wicking material and am hoping that will help on my outdoor runs. I'll just have to struggle with my SweatyBands for my indoor runs and spin classes.

Bondibands are actually meant to be worn on the hairline. They aren't meant to be worn father back in your hair, so only some people have success wearing them that way. I am not one of those people, but I don't mind how they look wearing them on my hairline. I just get the fun designs and sayings and go with it. Also, they work great under visors. I wear one under my visor to absorb sweat, even with sweat wicking material.

You're funny. I'm no sewing expert myself, but I found these really easy to make--the elastic costs about $1 and will allow for multiple headbands. I used about 15.5 inches of ribbon and velvet for each band as well. When I broke those costs down for each headband, it costs only about $2 a piece. My girls love them and several friends have asked me to make some for their girls as well.

What does the shirt you have on in this photo say? I have lots of pink workout/running gear and I like the general design of your shirt.

My daughter would LOVE to be photographed with Clarabelle Cow! Such a cute pic. I hope she is out next princess....

And the bondi bands do better for me at keeping sweat out of my eyes. The sweaty band is good, I do like it, but I think the bondi has better sweat control, just cuz its bigger.

My shirt is by running princess and says " 1/2 marathon, All Princess."

She was out and had no line at all. It actually turned out to be one of my favorite character pictures because I literally ran in for the picture and kept running. The whole stop took less than 15 seconds!

Hops&Dreams, I recieved my package today...you are the BEST

Rundisneymom - How were they? Did they stay in when you worked out with them? Are they too big or small? (I can adjust the size).

SO glad you like them

The black one is perfect and I've worn it out. The Mickey one was a bit loose, but it didn't start to slip on my until towards the end of my workout. I'll try the zebra one next week They look so good! I've gotten compliments on them already!
