So whenever I heard about these "no slip" headbands called B.I.C. (because I can) bands, I was excited to try them. I went into the situation totally expecting them to start creeping their way back towards my pony tail within the first 5-10 minutes of my run like every other headband I've ever worn, but luckily for me - they surprised me.
I wore one of the thick BIC Bands ($14.00) to the PNC YMCA Turkey Trot in Pittsburgh on Thursday. The whole thing with these headbands is that they have almost a velvetty lining on the inside and you really have to push them into place in your hair. This was a good sign, seeing as to how it didn't immediately slip off of my head. It wasn't super duper tight, but it felt secure at the same time. Here are some pictures before the race:
and here are some pictures of it - totally untouched or readjusted - after I finished the 5 mile
As expected, there was a teeny tiny bit of slippage, but the fact that it basically stayed put for the entire race is honestly amazing to me. I have never ever ever in my life had a headband last an entire race on my head - so this is a pretty big moment for me.
They also have skinny BIC Bands ($12.00) which are available in sparkly colors which I also am now a proud owner of. I actually like this pink one so much that I wore it black friday shopping to keep my hair out of my face:
So because I am really a fan of these headbands and I think they totally do the job they promise, BIC Bands has provided me with two headbands (just like mine!) to give away to RKR readers. You'll get both the skinny pink bling band & the thick polka dot band like the one I wore during the Turkey Trot.
There are no complicated ways to enter, simply leave your email address in the comments below and I will choose a winner on Monday December 3rd! Thanks to BIC Bands for sponsoring this giveaway & for finally making a headband to cater to us runners with weirdly shaped heads :)
Good Luck & Keep Running,
