I feel like I have tried every headband on the market. Most of them have been complete failures for me, sliding back and falling out of my hair whether I’m running or not. I became so frustrated with them that I actually gave up on headbands altogether until just a few months ago.
Then, this summer my friend Dorothy at Mile Posts did a review and giveaway of the Sparkly Soul headbands. Dorothy happens to be a close friend of mine and I can vouch for the fact that she is equally as picky as I am, so when she told me that the Sparkly Soul headbands were awesome and that they would not slip out, I immediately ordered one for myself.
She was right.
Now I have several colors and have given them out as gifts to many people, including my sister Jodi.

My search for a headband that works for me ended there, and I didn’t really feel the need to try any new ones.
But then, the other day I was at lululemon and was introduced to a new headband that I was told I just **had** to try. Everyone who works there swears by it. And I trust these girls. They have always given me honest advice and opinions about their products, steering me towards things that are designed for the kind of activities I do and cautioning me against things that are not made to perform at their best for what my purpose is. So, when they told me that the Skinny Satin Pirouette Headband would not disappoint, I decided I would buy one and see for myself.

This headband is really cute and simple. It can be worn whether I’m running or not, so I figured that for the $12.00 it cost me, if it didn’t hold up to my running then it would at least be a cute accessory to add to my wardrobe.
But it did hold up to my running. It is designed to do just that. I am of the opinion that accessories like this work for some and not for others, when lululemon made this headband they designed it with that specifically in mind. All the way around on the inside edge it has magic grippy stuff (I am sure there is a more professional way to say that, but whatever) so the headband stays put during the most rigorous and sweatiest of activities. In addition, the headband is completely adjustable, so if you have a wide head or a long head or a teeny head, you can make it the right size for you. Genius.

I’m brimming with joy over the simple fact that I now have several headbands that stay in my hair when I’m running (it’s the little things…).
I’m so excited about it in fact, that I’ve decided I want to give a Skinny Satin Pirouette headband to one of you! Lululemon has not asked me to do this and I am not getting compensated for it in any way. They also are not giving me a free headband to give away, I will be purchasing it at full price for this purpose. I just want to be clear that I love the headband and I’m doing this because I want to do it.
So, that’s that.
