I've talked in the past about non-slip headbands. The whole thing with most of these headbands is that they use a velvet-y liner to prevent them from slipping back on your head. I have a really hard time getting headbands to stay in place for me, and these velvet lined bands are the only products I've found that don't creep back and pop off my head as I run.
I have come to learn, however, that some (not all) of them have their flaws. And after some serious trial and error, I noticed that these flaws generally stemmed from me not having the option to adjust the headbands. So I did what I do best, and I scoured the web until I found a potential solution to this problem.
And that, my friends, is when I came across Punkeelove. If you have had issues getting headbands to stay on your head even with the super innovative velvet-y liner, this is definitely a brand you want to consider. Not only are they non-slip, they're also adjustable. They utilize elastic and buttons, and the designs are some of the cutest I've ever come across. Here is their website if you want to view the entire selection (it's huge!), but these were two of my personal favorites :)
Twete Bird 7/8" - $14.00
Icy 1" Band - $14.00
As you can see (this is the interior of the Icy band), there is a color-coordinating velvet-y liner that prevents the band from slipping around on your head. If you've never tried one of these non-slip bands, they are surprisingly functional & do a really good job gripping to your hair no matter how sweaty you get.
And here's the Punkeelove difference. There is an elastic band in the back with several button holes and a button. This is where you can adjust the band for a custom fit. The problem I've had with most of the other bands is that they eventually start to stretch out once you use them a few times and they're not as effective. With Punkeelove, you don't get that problem.
And don't worry about the excess elastic flopping around all over the place when you pull it a little tighter. There's a nice little finished slot in the back where you can tuck in the excess and forget it's there. If you ever need to let it out, it'll still be there. This is such a good idea!
I just took a quick shot to show you how the elastic can be pulled out if you need to let your band out at any point.
So to celebrate Punkeelove's understanding of runners and dancers and yoga enthusiasts and the general population of people who don't necessary dig their hair falling into their face, I'm going to go ahead & give away a Punkeelove headband! You'll get to choose either the Icy band or the Twete Bird band.
