Heads Up Band

I am a little nervous, since this is my first ever product review! Yikes, how cool is that though?  Little ole me, who started running a few years back, who has never won any major races and most likely never will.  Who runs at a mediocre pace, and no phenomenal distances.  Yet, I plug along and I keep going.  Because when I am out there, I find myself.

Awhile back, I posted on my Crazy Mama Runner Facebook page that I wanted two things.  One to become a Sweat Pink Ambassador (waiting to hear about that one!!!) and two to do product reviews.  Well, not long after posting that Heads Up Bands contacted me and told me they would be willing to send me their headband to test and review.  Uhhhhh YEAH! I had been seeing them around the Facebook pages and they looked so CUTE! I wanted to try one.  While I was on vacation my package arrived.

Heads Up Bands was nice enough to send me TWO! One to try and one to giveaway!  I was FINALLY able to get a run in tonight to try one of them out.  As I was lacing up my shoes, I grew super nervous.  What if I hated it?  What if it didn't work?  What if it was the most annoying headband EVER?  I promised myself, that no matter WHAT, I would be completely honest.  I slipped on the band and off I went.  It helped that one of my amazing running partners was along for the test, she kept checking in and asking how it was working.  Is it moving yet? Slipping? Too tight? Hurting?  Each time I answered, nope I am good, its good, its great, wow its AMAZING!

Part of my review was before and after pics and so the ENTIRE run I refused to let myself readjust or fix the band. I shouldn't have worried because the band stayed in the EXACT same place the whole SWEATY AS ALL GET OUT 3 miles.  It didn't move at all. Not even when my pony tail started coming out and my hair was weighing down the band as the pony tail dipped lower and lower.  It stayed through the constant wiping of sweat off my forehead and it stayed when I put my sunglasses on and off.  IT STAYED.  Not only did it stay but it also didn't cause a headache.  Lots of headbands I have are too tight and by the end of my run my head hurts.  This one I didn't even really know was on.  The product is totally amazing!  I really REALLY did like it and I am happy that I got to try it.  I will definitely be a Heads Up Bands girl.  My ONLY problem with it, is my own darn fault.  I have a thing for sparkles so I asked to test one of the glitter ones.  And since my ears are close to my head the sparkle texture bothered me a bit.  Had I just went for a non sparkle one it would have been smooth and no problem at all.  Did it bother me enough to not wear the band?  Ummm NO WAY.  That band is going to be with me for a long time coming.  Look for me sporting it at all my races :0) Thanks Heads Up Bands!!!
