Work Hard and Sweat Hard... BondiBand Review and Giveaway
Do you wear a head band when you work out?
I normally don't.
My hair all pulls back into a pony or up into a bun.
Why would I wear a headband?
Well, I went ahead and offered myself up to review this BondiBand anyway!
Have you heard of BondiBand?
Go check out their site! Not only do they have every type of headband and hat, they also offer compression socks, arm sleeves, sweat bands, anything a runner could ask for! And the selection is crazy! You may feel overwhelmed with the choices! Who doesn't like that?
They even have dog accessories, which this runner doesn't care about, but YOU may!
Ok, back to me!
By no means am I pretty when I run, swim, cycle, lift, dance! I work hard, sweat like a beast, don't care about clothes matching, I have little pride when it comes to this!
I do these things for me. My body, in motion, feeds my spirit.
It is for no one else, so I don't care what I look like... mostly!
This is just some far-fetched fantasy, looking like this when I run...
This is my reality! The two are really close right? :)
Add a headband to that and it's even worse!!!
Buuuuut, since I have little pride, whatever, add a headband!
I have been wearing this baby a bunch and, well, I may just be sold on the whole headband thing!
Now this is a reason to wear a headband, right? I sweat like a beast! I wanted to see if this headband really works and how that affected my workouts.
Form vs. Function
Form: Well, the two bands I got are just a snip short of being a full on beanie!
These bands are fat/wide!
I'm not too crazy about that look...
I sort of feel like I need to crank Snoop Dog on my boombox and bust out my swagga!
Oh, yes, I just made that face!
Oh, yes, I just made that face!
No worries, I just tucked the edges of my band. All better!
I honestly don't know how to run and swagga at the same time! I could hurt myself!

The edges are unfinished so I plan to just trim my band so it looks how I want it to.
I love the selection! Seriously, they have sayings for like every sport and discipline!
That part is fabulous! I love this one they sent me 'wanna race'. It just fits me!
Function: This head band stays put!
I worried about feeling too hot with it on, nope!
It breathes well and is lightweight. It didn't bug me at all, didn't feel too tight.
It washes perfect.
I am crazy impressed with the sweat this thing holds! Seriously! Crazy impressed!
I didn't wear it for a run last week to remind myself what running is like w/o it. I was wiping constantly! I have this 'wipe and flick motion' down! Did I really always do that? I guess so!
The headband catches so much of my sweat I hardly have to wipe my face at all!
Even more crazy is this: When I take the band off after my run... my hair is hardly wet! Serious! It is greasy in these pictures, because I need to wash it, and there is some sweat, but the band wicks sweat from my hair too! It's crazy! I am head-to-toe sweaty! My head should be drenched... not so!
So? What do you think? Want one?
BondiBand gave me these two bands for two of my readers.
Look at that second one, it's thinner... nice!
