Bondi band and Giveaway!

*WINNER ANNOUNCED*

Jessie had our favorite way in which to rock a Bondi Band:

“You know how a super hero always has a cape? Well, if I had a Boni Band, it would be my version of a cape. I’d wear it when I worked out, and it would help me focus on becoming stronger and healthier. With my Bondi Band, I’d be invincible. :) “

Thanks to everyone who participated and keep your eyes out for our next giveaway… :)

Hey All!

I don’t know if you all have a problem keeping your hair out of your face when you are working out, but I sure do. Damn curls! :P Well, for years I have been using the cheap headbands from Walgreens/CVS, but I find they stretch out wicked easy and don’t work all that well after a couple wears. Also, they are usually just a boring color like black or brown…

So, I finally started doing some research and found Bondi Band online.

I reached out to the wonderful ladies there and they sent me one to try out. (Comments/Thoughts are my own)

I am bad at taking self photos, but you know I had to pick the one with the Shamrocks all over it. They had a ton of designs and different types of bands/hats that you can choose from.

Well, I gave it a whirl last night at Zumba and really liked it. It definitely kept my hair out of my face and didn’t give me the “halo of curls” I usually have after a workout.

Here is a side shot:

So you can tell the band is pretty wide. When I first put it on it covered my ears, which I didn’t like. I guess that would work well for outside activites (ie fall running), but it just bothered me while inside. Then my lovely wife suggested just tucking it behind my ears (she is so smart). That felt much more comfortable. The only problem with that was that it buldged up a little behind my ears due to the extra fabric. It bothered me while I was just sitting there, but once I was focused on Zumba, I didn’t notice it at all (which is all that matters).

I am a big sweater. It is just my nature. The band was able to remain dry during the workout and I didn’t feel any extra sweat in my hair due to the width of the band.

It didn’t slip or slide at all during my workout, which I appreciated. I didn’t have to fuss or fix it once. I hate when I need to alter any of my wardrobe, while I am in the middle of a workout.

So overall, I would give the Bondi Band an A-. I would definitely rock it again … and I will tonight at the gym! :)

 

And now the fun part … the giveaway! Bondi Band has agreed to give one lucky reader of my blog a Bondi Band of their own.

Here is how to enter:

    I currently have a sad (oh so sad) version of a plasitic head band to keep my hair out of my face. I would love a Bondi Band to rock my workout world. I’m currently in a self induced challenge to wog (jog/walk) at 5k every Saturday (race once a month), then this winter move up to 10ks and do a 1/2 marathon in the spring! I would love to take a Bondi Band along with me on this challenge.

    Pick me Pick me Pick me!

    I would so rock it on everyworkout. I go to zumba 3 days a week, walk/jog everyday and find anything and everything else in between to be active. I would love one of these because no matter what I do my hair finds its way into my face and it’s annoying. My hair is a mess after a workout. 1/2 the time a pony tail will not even stay up because i have extremely thick hair that likes to curl out of the pony tail and does it’s own thing. I just need to find something that works and this seems like a great thing!!! I hope it’s me!!

    Of course with the Shamrocks! :) I hear you on the “Halo” after a workout – I’m always wiping sweat out of my eyes while running longer runs & have to immediately hop in the shower because my hair is beyond embarrassing! I’ve seen this product at expos before & they really do have such great choices for any style! PICK ME!!!! :)

  • Donna Alfonzetti

    I would love one!! I also have crazy curls and now that I am so active, It’s really annoying when they are falling in my face. This happens event though I tie my hair back, or use a hair band. When I run, since I am a SAHM, I take the kids a long in the jogging stroller. I have enough distractions as I try to complete a workout, my hair should not be one! ;) Please pick me, your fellow Irish pal :)

  • Krista Goals

    Love it. Would wear it ally the time while working out as motivation!

  • Erin Stewart

    With hair that isn’t quite straight, but not totally curly, and not long enough to get all of it in a pony tail, I’m sick of looking like a wet dog after working out. Plus, it would be nice to have something to keep my hair out of my face to prevent me from tripping…which has happened!

  • Jennifer M.

    I’d love to have one of these bands! My hair is fine and straight and constantly in my eyes while I’m working out! I’d like to be able to not think about it at all!

    I would lve to win! My hair is one massive frizz ball, especially in the humidity (can anyone say-moving to Florida!!!) and after a workout. I can’t stand it. I would probably rock it mostly on the treadmill or my masochistic Jillian Michaels DVDs!

  • Rose Tufts ’03

    Yeah Dani! You Go Girl! I got a not-so-sport-friendly hair cut this summer and have to pin it back all the time. I’ve been playing in a women’s lacrosse round robin and would love to have a BondiBand to keep the hair outta my face and goggles!

    I would love a Bondi Band!!! As a runner with bangs I am constantly trying to pin all my fly aways from my face and out of my eyes. A Bondi Band would offer a great solution to my bang-running problem. Great giveaway Dani!!!

    your first giveaway! so exciting :) i’d definitely use my bondi band during my training runs for my 5K or maybe at my next total body tone fitness class. either way, i’m the queen of the lion’s mane flyaways, so this would be great!

  • KyLee Mills

    I’d use the Bondi Band to keep my ears warm when winter rolls around! :)

    I have all of those really annoying little “baby hairs” that don’t seem to grow around the front of my hair line. So when I’m running they end up getting all sweaty and sticking to my face. It drives me crazy! I’ve tried those other elastic head bands from walmart, but they never stay put – even the kind with the little rubber grips on them. I would love to see if a Bondi Band can stand up to the challenge of holding my stray hairs back AND staying put during my work out!!!

    I’d love a bondi band! I wear headbands that squeeze my head tight and is usually pretty ineffective at keeping my hair in place. I also run outdoors in the winter, too…might help keep a girls head warm :) love it!
