Review: The headband I can't live without

Hey, folks! Long time no blog. This morning, I've decided to do a little review (more reviews will be coming your way) on a product that's been a standard in my running attire. For the last several years, I've either had side bangs or straight bangs, and they always get in my face during workouts. I would try many different types of headbands, but they would always slip or grip my head in a funny way. That was until I was turned on to BIC bands. You can actually see us wearing our BIC bands in our race photo on our biography post! Here's what I love about these headbands:




They really are "no slip": I cannot tell you how many headbands I've had to reposition during a workout, and then I would just give up and let my bangs lay in front of my face. Not the case with these. These stay on. 5k, P90X (especially Plyo....this baby doesn't go flying) weights sessions, pull-ups, push-ups....it doesn't move! In addition, I don't leave my workout with a headache because these bands are too tight. They are just perfection.

The style can't be beat: I don't know about you, but when I look good, I feel good. My workouts are usually better when I feel that I look adorable (you're so vain, you probably think this song is about you...) and BIC bands come in all sorts of different styles. Pretty much anything you can think of: solid, sparkly, polka dots, sports teams, motivational running distances, thick, thin....it's there!


It's for a good cause: BIC stands for=BECAUSE I CAN. Talk about motivational! These headbands got their start as a way for the creator to fundraise for a good cause so she could raise money for  her first half-marathon. When it started to grow, BIC was born, and now they donate to different charities each month. I love anything where I can help out. We recently purchased the Boston Strong headband they created and we love them.

They aren't that expensive: I've spent a pretty penny on some failure headbands that said they were "no slip." The BIC band is about $12.00-15.00 and for the variety they offer, I think that's a pretty decent deal, not to mention the amazing quality.



I cannot say enough great things about this company and the product. It's very empowering to know you helped out a great cause and you can run, jump, dance, and sweat without having to worry about your headband. Check back later for a post from Kelsey on morning running vs. evening running! Make sure to also check back on Wednesday for our weekly check-in post and later this week for a post on other workouts we like to do!


See you on the pavement,

Nikki and Kelsey
