Every time we make clothing from a roll of fabric, there are some “scraps” that get left behind. This lonely material, known as “pre-consumer” waste, contributes significantly to the environmental footprint of clothing. Enter headbands! Made from the leftover recycled material used for our leggings, our headbands are quick drying, moisture wicking and breathable while also enabling us to reduce our pre-consumer waste.
Updated design for less slip and added versatility. Wide width (3”) to protect your hair from your mask while diving, or to soak up that extra sweat from your most killer workouts.
Materials: 88% Repreve® RPET (recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles), 12% spandex
Industry-wide it’s estimated that 15-20% of fabric used to make clothing is discarded as pre-consumer waste, and although we use some nifty approaches to maximize the efficiency of our garment’s patterns, we still have some leftover. These headbands are our way of reducing the amount of pre-consumer waste we create when we cut our garments out of our recycled fabric. The process goes like this:
Bought one of these in 6 different patterns because I love your pants so much! I’m all about mindfully reducing waste, so they seemed perfect!
Sadly, they are so small and slippery they won’t stay on my head for even a minute- and I actually have a pretty small head!
Wish they would have worked- I feel terrible that they’re sitting around as I haven’t found another use for them.
I saw a lot of comments on here about the headbands being slippery, but these don’t slide on my head at all. I have curly hair, so that might be why they fit better. I absolutely love them. I wear them with my other Waterlust gear to match or with my other clothes to spice up a fun outfit. They are snug but not tight, they don’t damage my hair, and they can be folded over to be skinnier or thicker based on what you want. If you’re questioning, I say buy one and give it a try! They’ll be worth your while :)
I got one for diving, because my hair always gets into my mask. It held back my hair perfect, and I love the cute patterns!
The headbands are made of the same material as the pants, which are so dang cute, but can tend to slip a bit on hair as a warning! If worn for more as a style look as opposed to a physical activity, it’ll stay on a lot better. The tiger shark one is still super cute though.
I have many pieces of the Whale Shark Collection & LOVE them all!!! I recently purchased the headband. Most headbands give me a headache or slip after a short time. This stayed in place and was SO comfortable for all day paddleboarding & Jetskiing at Bear Lake!
I LOVE the pattern and feel of the headband. However, I think it could be made better by adding a small line of grippy adhesive to the front portion because it's so silk it does drift back throughout the day and takes some readjusting.
