Best Headbands for Girls - BANI BANDS REVIEW - Headbands that STAY PUT

To say that I have a lot of headbands in my house is an understatement. I recently took a picture of them. These are only the ones that I could find. They are everywhere. Under beds, in the bathroom, living room, basement, car, backpacks. I have two kids that wear them. Both do not have bangs anymore. One child looks like Kurt Cobain. No joke. I wish I could have found the one picture that I took with my cell phone a while ago. She has stringy, curly, unruly hair that cannot be tamed. It's insane. Now if you know me, you know I have short straight hair. And when its not short, it's long and in a ponytail. Never ever down. Oh and I have bangs. Have always had them. One time I went without bangs. Not a good idea. My mom reminds me all the time of when "remember you tried to not have bangs". Yeah. Epic fail.

This is a bucket full of really bad headbands and clips. When I had my first child, with every outfit from Gymboree I bought those curly clips. You know which ones I'm talking about. The one's that have the curly ribbon that look like wrapping paper ribbon. I know you have some in your house. They come in packs of four I think. The clips have bumpie things on the other side. Horrible. How did I NOT know this when I bought them. They were super cute. I bet I have tons of pictures of those. They don't stay put. They just annoy me. I would throw them out however they are like gold-mines. I have spent a fortune on clips that don't work. Now for clips, I have discovered "No Slippy Hair Clippy" at hairclippy.com. They are a little more expensive but I guarantee they will stay in place.

Today though, I want to talk about my new find. A friend of mine told me about BANI BANDS. As a mom of three little girls with insane hair, I have to tell you that I have tried them... and I love them. We have about 25+ of them. This company was founded by a woman who is very athletic and could not find a solution to the "oh my gosh, my hair is in my face and I can't see straight". I have that problem. When I run, I have to have a good hairband. I have been known to demand that my husband go back to the house after we are on our way out of town because I don't have a hairband or a good hair tye. These things DON'T MOVE. I went to our local running store (which does not stock these) and tried their brand. NOT the same. Mine stretched out within a month. Here is a picture of my latest shipment from BANI BANDS.

Now as you can see, I got the MOFO shipment of BANI BANDS. Well, that's because they were having an awesome $5 sale. The founder is former military so check their facebook page for sales during the holidays. I believe this one was for either Fourth of July or Memorial Day. She is an avid volleyball player and has lots of sport options to pick from. There are skinny bands, regular bands, and fat bands (my fav). The sequin ones are super fun for kids. I know they come out with all different kinds. The owner is very nice so feel free to contact her and her staff. Never had a problem.  The bottom of the bands are made from almost velvet... they are NO SKID. These were all $5 on sale, the one on the far left is a premium one, it's thicker. I love that one. That's for me.

Now... onto the reason why I buy these. My girls. Kurt Cobain lives in my house. She is 6. She had curly locks of hair as a child and have migrated to some sort of wavy mess of a hat head. She LOVES these headbands. Every day, she picks out a new one. We bought the sequin ones for the first day of school... the soccer one for soccer. And the zebra one just because. I believe these all retail at around $12 but again, watch for sales. What's awesome about these bands which the ones that look like them DON'T HAVE, is the adjustable band. My head is obviously bigger than A's head... so for her, I use the slide adjuster and move it to a small adjustment and for my big-ass noggin' it goes up. For my middle bean, well I have to kick that into "really friggin small head" gear. She is 4 and just able to wear them. I keep a secret stash for just me because these kids take my stuff. By the way, DO NOT put the sequin ones in the dryer. Not a good idea.

Here is a picture of the first day of school. I rarely put pictures of A on my blog but since she's famous on Facebook, here you go. She loves these bands!!!

Kid tested. Mom approved. Bani Bands. Oh and they usually have a sale section too! SCORE!!!!
