Move over tough mudder -- Make way for Tough Headbands!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a headband addict. I haven't counted how many headbands I own in a very long time. The last time I counted, the number was something looming above 70. I do have more now since that time, and I can not wait to get more thanks to my new discovery of #ToughHeadband! I was so thrilled to be chosen to try this item for free so that I can share my thoughts and review with you! You can see some of the wide variety of amazing styles here on amazon (free shipping with prime).  They have really cute descriptive names for the color designs, too.  And let me tell you, I had a hard enough time narrowing down which one I wanted to select for my order.

Check out the Vivid patterned design/color I chose, which is called Budapest.


When I try to think about what my favorite and the best thing is about the headband, I'm torn: it's either the versatility, or the staying power. That's what impresses me the most!  I have extremely fine strands of hair, which is also super smooth a.k.a. nothing stays put, anywhere, ever. Elastic headbands, wraparound headbands, anything I were to attempt to tie on my head literally slides and falls right off, immediately. I don't even bother wasting my time ever trying to curl my hair because that doesn't last but an hour. I'd also like to note that I do have bangs. When I wear my hair up and exercise, I usually have to pin them back with two/three bobby pins and still wind up with pieces coming lose, sticking out, you name it. The #ToughHeadband kept all of my bangs back, tucked away, and neatly at bay. Horray!

The staying power of this headband is mind-blowingly amazing. It does not budge!  I teach Zumba and hip-hop with some of my youngest students for after school extracurricular activities, do a yoga class and help choreograph our school musical, strength train, do cardio, and participate in other group exercise classes, and it just doesn't move!

When it arrived and I first opened it up, I was a little confused because it was folded into a little square, all neatly packaged up. It kept on unfolding! It's actually 19" wide, yes, you did read that correctly. It might seem like a lot, but the pattern really scrunches up nicely and looks very pretty. Measuring around, it is a 21 1/2" loop. I have a small head, and it fits me well, just right so it won't move, but not at all overly snug. It's stretchy enough so that it can fit around a larger area without distorting its shape (or pattern).

I'm super excited to continue to try all of the many ways my #ToughHeadband can be worn. Take a sneak peek at the awesome guide. I think this is possible because of the shape, size, type, and quality of the material used. It truly is a 12-in-1 headband with so many great uses. Keep on the look out as I try more of these awesome styles and looks with mine.
