I’ve been loving my BondiBand headbands, and I’m just positive you would adore them, too. I use them mostly for holding back my hair while I’m working out, but there’s no reason these stylish no-slip bands can’t be used for fashion alone. For about $8 for one, you can find out just how great they are — or you can leave a comment below and take a chance at winning five of them in this giveaway (if you win, you get to pick the exact five you want)!

BondiBand – Fashion Meets Function Meets Cancer

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

You might not think right off the bat that a company like BondiBand would have a cancer connection, but as I just recently found out, they do. At first, I just thought their headbands were way cool. I knew instantly I needed a few for myself after spotting them on my fitness trainer friend and then learning that they’re killer at holding back hair on workout adventures. So, I had a few shipped my way (thanks, Rebecca!), and that’s when I learned that they are perfect for the cancer people of the world. Not only do they offer inspiring messages and logos (proof is in the photos), but I’m thinking they could (1) help hold wigs in place and (2) cover the entire bald head if you opt for the full-hat option.

Cancer. Had it. Fought it. Beat it.

The trusty pink ribbon.

They’re good for everyone else too, with their super styles — available for chicks, dudes, babes and buddies (that would be pets).

Gotta love polka dots!

But back to the whole cancer thing: BondiBand donates some of their hard-earned profits to charity — and for 2008, they chose the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), a Comprehensive Cancer Center designated by the National Cancer Institute. A major affiliate of Harvard Medical School and located in Boston, Mass., more than 150,000 patients visit DFCI a year. About 200 clinical trials take place there annually, and the place is internationally known for its research and clinical excellence. Good choice, BondiBand!

If you decide to shell out some cash for your own bands (about $8 for one), you’ll be making a good choice, too. Promise. You might even get a chance to try them out for free — I’ll feature a giveaway of 5 headbands very soon. Keep checking back for your chance to win.
