Headbands, Headbands, and more Headbands

           Headbands are a girl’s, and even some guys, best friend. When you’re outside playing your sport in a 20mph wind, with your hair whipping every which way, a headband tends to come in handy. They come in all shapes and sizes, and based on my personal experiences with headbands I feel like I can lead you in the right direction when it comes to finding the perfect one.

Under Armour Braided Headband

I’ve worn headbands of all different sorts, which include the likes of Under Armour, Nike, Adidas, the generic Target brand, and of course the good ol’ reliable Pre-Wrap. For me personally, the plain black head bands that I buy from Target seem to work the best with my hair type. But, for those of you who are looking at more name-brand athletic headbands with a pop of color, I can give you my opinion on which are the best.
Top on the list of my ranking of headbands would have to be Under Armour. One thing that I really like about their headbands, is that on the inside, they have a thin line of a sticky rubber that helps hold the headband in place on your head. Also Under Armour has some of the most innovative designs, including their most popular braided headband that comes in multiple color choices. Following up Under Armour on the headband list, is what I consider to be a tie between Nike and Adidas. Both brands create the original headband with the sticky rubber to keep it in place, but I feel like neither of the brands really reach the creativity that Under Armour has with their headbands. If I really had to narrow it down between Nike and Adidas on who was #2 and #3 on the ranking, I would have to say that Nike edges out Adidas with their newly popular “head-tie” headbands, which are more widely known as the Skylar Diggins Headbands.

I also wanted to point out another brand that has had good reviews on their headbands, which is Lululemon Athletica. Although I myself have never worn one of their headbands, many of my friends have and they seem to love them. The Lululemon headbands are a wider headband compartd to that of the skinnier headbands created by Nike and Adidas, and are very popular among the younger generation of athletes.

I hope my review on the numerous types of headbands out there has given you some insight on what you should look for. Remember you don’t always have to pay $20 just to get a nice set of headbands from a name-brand store, you can always just use some reliable Pre-Wrap from your local store for only $2 that will last you an entire season!
