I'm in love with a headband.

I have a lot of hair. You can't really tell in that photo, but it is very big and unruly a lot of the time. Thus my search for the perfect headband.

You see, when I put my hair in a ponytail or a bun or what have you, it rarely decides to stay put. There will be a chunk here and there that insists on breaking free and flying in my eyes or my mouth or up my nose (seriously, I have rebellious hair). Basically, it drives me nuts. On any given day it will decide to be curly or straight or both, and its very unpredictable and hard to guess which way things will go. It has a life of its own.

I have tried every headband imaginable to control it while I'm working out. Nothing works. The problem is that I also have kind of a strange shaped head--so headbands either slip off or don't fit correctly... I've tried the sport kind with the rubber gripping things, the elastic kind, blah blah blah. The hair continues to escape and taunt me. It has led to some very unpleasant experiences: the most memorable involved me putting my mp3 player in my sports bra for a minute (it had been in my hand) while trying to re-establish a ponytail. The mp3 player fell, I tried to catch it, my hair flew everywhere, and I'm not entirely sure how but I ended up flashing my saggy, loose belly skin at cars driving past me on the highway cause my shirt flipped up. I'm sure they enjoyed it. I have since discovered that it is easier to bite the mp3 player while fixing the ponytail issues... I'm sure that's entirely unsanitary, but oh well.

Anyhow, I'm constantly on the lookout for something that might keep the hair from attacking me (so far the best solution was bobby pins, but it even escapes those). I can't for the life of me remember where I read out them, but I discovered the Bondi Band and bought one to try out.

If you're shocked that I spent $8 on a headband, that might clue you into exactly how ridiculous my hair is. Yes, it drives me that nuts to have it in my face. Anyhow, it arrived yesterday and I wore it while running... and holy crap, I dig it!

It didn't move the entire time I was running! How is that possible??? It's magic. I'm pretty sure. You should all go buy one and celebrate the glory. I don't care how dorky I look, I am in love with my magical spandex headband. And no, the company isn't paying me to endorse their product, I just really really like it and wanted to share in case anyone else has crazy unruly hair. (If you do, we should be best friends!)

You should see my hair today! I think it is trying to take over the world...
