Last week, I told you how cheap I am. But, not only am I cheap, I’m a pretty minimalist runner. I think this has something to do with my cheapness. I don’t run with a lot. Give me a pair of shoes, and I’m good to go. I don’t need a Garmin (although I do run with my phone – for safety and for my RunKeeper app) and I refuse to wear a fuel belt. (Just not my thing.)
However, besides my shoes, I absolutely have to wear a headband. Something they don’t tell you when you’re pregnant is that you don’t lose a lot of hair while you’re pregnant. But, after you have the baby, your hair falls out and grows like crazy! I have a ton of “baby” hairs that stick straight out of my head and hang down in my face, unless they are pulled back with a headband.
I used to use those thick cloth headbands, but those always fell off my head. When I was feeling really cheap, I used pre-wrap, but every time I went to adjust those, they’d break and I’d be without a headband again. I finally wised up and bought some non-slip headbands. They were great! Until the elastic in the back stretched out and they no longer would stay put. Wah wah.
But, I finally found the answer to my slipping headband problems. Sparkly Soul headbands to the rescue! I’ve been eyeing these headbands all over the blogosphere for months! Sparkly Soul was nice enough to send me a thin and a wide headband to try out on my runs.
I am happy to say that they passed the no-slip test on several of my runs and CrossFit workouts. They stayed in place and I looked super fashionable at the same time! I loved the sparkles as well! My other non-slip headbands had glitter all over them, so not only would they slip off, but I’d end up with glitter all over my face (and MacKenna’s too). The sparkles on Sparkly Soul headbands don’t do that, which makes them even better!
Want a chance to try them out yourself? One lucky reader will win not one, but TWO Sparkly Soul headbands (one wide, one thin)! To enter, head on over to Sparkly Soul’s website and tell me what color you would want to add to your running wardrobe (or CrossFit, or yoga, or whatever fitness activity you like to do). For extra entries, you can follow Sparkly Soul on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest and let me know that you did. (Each follow is a separate entry and separate comment. If you already follow Sparkly Soul, leave a comment telling me you already follow them.)
Giveaway will run until Thursday, January 17 until 8 PM (Central Time). Good luck!
(Sparkly Soul graciously sent me 2 of their headbands to try for myself; however, all opinions are my own.)
I would love a black sparkly soul headband to match all of my workout clothes! I just got back into running (yes)!

From one cheap mom/runner to another, thanks for the review! I’ve been eyeing but haven’t shelled out the cash. (I have entered every sparkly soul giveaway around with no luck:)
I want pink!
I’d have to go with the pink… I work out hard but still want to look girlie!

I would have to go with black because I am boring and lame…and because it will go with anything! ;)
Black goes with everything! I have a pink one already and love it. It’s true, they really don’t slip at all.
Those are so cute! Would love black to match everything.

Oooh, these look awesome. I’d go for black.
These sound great! I know I always have issues with any headband I get to hold back my hair… whether it’s my hair slipping out or simply giving me a headache. I wear them not only to work out, but sometimes part of my everyday wardrobe!
Favorite colors: charcoal, teal, or pinks.

I would love apple green headbands! I’ve tried a few nonslip but the elastic eventually stretches. I’ve even made some for myself! :) getting back into running after having baby
I love all the colors, but especially dark pink!

It’s hard to pick just one color! The silver would have to be my first choice. I have yet to purchase a headband that truly does not slip!
I would love to add the apple green and dark pink headbands to my wardrobe!
I would want a red thick head band or another thick black one!
