Have you seen these "Sweaty Bands" ??

[Melaine]

Hmmm, well, I used mine today for stroller class. It is really cute and for the most part it stayed on for me, but it still started slipping, so I had to re-do it after 1 hr of class. I wore my hair in a ponytail and was using it to keep the hair out of my face. I think they are cute, but waaaay overpriced. I looked at it, and if you are handy with your sewing machine, you could TOTALLY make these. It is basically whatever ribbon you like, backed with velvet ribbon. Then about 3-4 inches of regular black elastic. It is the best, "non-slip" hairband I have found so far, but still not 100% non-slip for my situation.

Thanks for your review! I wonder if these are the same concept? http://www.etsy.com/listing/55232544...and-sparkle-up

The esty ones look very similar.

Yes, they are pricey, but they work far, far better than anything I or my daughter have ever used. They aren't perfect, but our hair is telfon-like, no joke.

I have never in her 8 years had any type of headband last for longer than 5 minutes in her hair, I've tried EVERY type imaginable (elastic, rubbery elastic, plastic with teeth, wide plastic with teeth, rubbery and on and on).

She's worn a sweatyband for the past three days - including soccer. For us, the only way they could stay more, is if you used glue.

I'm probably going to make a few of my own.

I just bought one for my daughter for soccer. She wears her hair in
a ponytail and uses the sweaty band to keep the wispies off her face.
The sweaty band has been AWESOME!!! It doesn't slip or fall off!
This thing is great!!!!

Did you buy a bandit for your DD? (the smaller sized ones). My DD needs something to keep her hair off her face while it grows out. I attempt a pony tail for soccer and dance but her hair is not quite long enough and all the hairs framing her face falls out.

No, I ordered the regular size.

Those look nice. I really need something to keep the wispies away. They seriously get in the way of my vision when it's windy. I'd have to use it while my hair was in a ponytail b/c there's no way *any* headband would keep stay on my hair by itself.

so how much are they in b &m stores?

So, is it the concensus that the thin ones hold hair better/stay in better?

Yes, I'd like to know too. The closest B&M store that carries them is an hour away.

I haven't seen them in a store, but there was a Sweaty Bands booth at an event I attended. I'm not in the same state as they are made in, so I assume the gals at the booth carry them in their local store?? Not sure.

They were the same price as online.
