Greecie Girl Nonslip Headbands For Runners Review and Giveaway!

by


What is more fun than a giveaway?  I love ’em and love having them!  Lets get to business first shall we?

I was surfing the Internet one day for some sparkly headbands and came across GreecieGirlHeadbands on ETSY, remember?  I posted about it HERE if you don’t.  GreecieGirlHeadbands are designed for runners, they are nonslip and moisture wicking in a variety of fabrics.  Mary of GreecieGirl offers a couple of fabrics that match my beloved SparkleSkirts – which is what caught my attention.  For full disclosure, she sent me a headband for review and a couple to giveaway for my readers….so here we are!

GreecieGirlHeadbands Overview

  • Handmade item
  • Made in USA
  • Colorful Selection of Fabrics
  • Materials: Spandex, wicking, Lycra

My headband arrived and to be honest, I was not sure what to think.   I received the  “Floral and Paisley Style”- which is the same fabric as Sparkle Skirts Wild One for my sparkle sisters. It was bright and pretty with a nice blue wicking inside.  The construction was quality, no threads or exposed seams.  I was concerned as it seemed not super elastic-y (is that a word?).   I have a Sweaty Band headband and Bondi Band – both VERY different in that they have LOTS of stretch, so maybe that was what I was expecting.  I didn’t see as much stretch in the GreecieGirl as either of those and was concerned.

I tried it on and did love the way it brightened up my tired face… it sure LOOKED like one of the best headbands I have tried while running.

I wore on a run with my friend Jill and it stayed on fine, which surprised me since it wasn’t too tight. It did also absorb the sweat – and y’all know I sweat bullets, right.  This particular fabric has colors that go with so much of my running attire – quite versatile.

I have also worn my headband just running around doing errands and I have gotten a couple compliments “cute head band” – which has not happened with the other running headbands.

As someone who was skeptical, I was won over. They are functional exercise headbands to keep the hair back while being fashionable too.  I love that they are Made in the USA as I love supporting small businesses – especially working moms!

Mary the owner of GreecieGirl is a runner, so she knows what runners want.  She has always been kind and responsive when I asked her a question.  If you want to see what she has to offer, check out her ETSY shop at GreecieGirlHeadbands.

Here is your chance to try them out for free.  Mary sent me 2 headbands for a giveaway! They are bright and gorgeous with that blue wicking fabric inside.

One Reader Gets BOTH!

 
AND NOW……..the Giveaway!!!!!  Good luck.

Giveaway ends Thursday Oct 24th at 11:59pm.  Winner will be contacted right away and will have 48 hours to respond. Open to US residents only, sorry Canadian and worldwide readers.

    I usually wear Bondi Bands because they are so thin. I love Sweaty Band designs but with sunglasses and over-the-ear headphones, the SB are too thick.

    Cute! I don’t usually bother with a headband, but now that I’m growing out my bangs I need one. So I’m still looking for one I like.

  8. Summer I says

    I actually don’t wear anything usually. I love my sparkle visor for running outdoors, but indoors I don’t wear anything since I have issue with everything slipping off my head.

      I like trying different ones…..I feel like my round head and face was not made for the cute headband look, but I DID like the way I looked in these. 🙂

    I love how the fabrics coordinate with some of my growing Sparkle Skirts collection! I’d love to try one sometime!

    • Julie Franklin says

      Kris its VERY different than Bondiband, I do love BondiBands, I just don’t look the best. I like having options and I can wear these out and about….feel like I don’t look my best i the bondi, but they sure do work on the sweat!

    • Julie Franklin says

      I need to try that one…I stay away from Lululemon to be easy on the pocketbook….BUT um hello I am addicted to Sparkle Skirts because of the quality…..well made stuff def costs more and is usually worth it!

    I love my just plain basic bands. I could use something new! Plus, with my weird, tiny head, everything is either too tight or slips off! Hopefully, this will stay put! I may just have to head over and order one anyhoOo!

    • Julie Franklin says

      I love plain too…but sometimes a litle brighness around my face helps! Good luck, I have a strange head too…usually headbands slip right off. Good Luck!

      She has fleece at GreecieGirl. I do love my bondi, but feel like I don’t look so great in them….LOL. But I wear them for function! The Greecie stayed on AND looked cute…different animal than Bondi, but worth a try…or just great for everyday!
