A Surprise Benefit of My Buff® Headband

6/17/2019

Disclaimer: I received a Buff® Coolnet UV multifunctional headband to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review, find, and write race reviews!"

Two sizes of Buff headwear.

In between ordering my beautiful new BUFF® COOLNET UV multifunctional headband and receiving it, I strained my left shoulder.

I have no idea how did it. The problem is it really, REALLY hurts when I do everyday things . . . like fastening my bra and putting in a ponytail. 

Modifying behaviors and icing my shoulder helps. But, I expect reduced mobility for a couple more weeks.

Which brings me to the surprise benefit of my new Buff® headband.

Soothing My Shoulder with a BUFF® ​Headband

I wear ponytails and buns a lot. They have to be high on my head 'cause I have thick hair cut in layers. 

Guess who can't put in a ponytail or bun right now? Me (and my husband, although he tried!)

Instead of straining my shoulder to put in subpar ponytails, I'm using my Buff headband. 

It's easy to put on. No shoulder strain. It's strong and stretchy enough to keep my hair under control.

I've run in the headband alone, and while wearing it with a low ponytail.

Ways to Wear a Buff® CoolNet UV Multifunction Headband

We all know I stink at taking selfies, but I tried my best so you can see some options. BTW, I wear my headband for both running and casual wear.

I like to wear my Buff® around my neck (as an ice necklace when it's hot). It keeps the sun off my neck and easily converts to a headband if needed. (Video: ThisOldRunner)

Buff Puts the Fun Back in Multi-Functional

Buff® headbands and headwear come in plenty of colors and patterns. You can find options to match all your running gear. Choose the headband like I did, or get the longer CoolNet UV Multifunctional Headwear. Look below for more ways to wear a Buff®.

I'll be back with another post on the technical aspects of the new Buff® CoolNet Multifunctional Headband. It's 4-way stretch and heat-reflective qualities make it perfect for Summer.
