About BAMR Bands

What are BAMR Bands? BAMR Bands are non-slip headbands for fitness and fashion. They’re suitable for all hair types — from fine and straight to coarse and curly — AND won’t damage your hair or slip out! These headbands are a way to show your personality in your hair — there is a pattern for everyone! What does BAMR mean? BAMR stands for bad-ass-mother-runner. When BAMR Bands was established in January 2013, Katie was super into running and after a car conversation with her husband, the name was born! How did BAMR Bands begin? BAMR Bands started as a fundraiser when Katie was training for a half marathon. Katie loved wearing headbands and wanted to make headbands even better and more affordable than what she was wearing. So, she started to sew. And sew some more. She sold the headbands to meet her fundraising goal and gain feedback on how people liked the bands! Once the fundraising was met and the race was over, BAMR Bands continued as a business and has always kept its charitable component. Our current initiative is bands on buttons to provide ear relief during the pandemic. ABOUT KATIE Katie Heddleston is the owner and head sewist of BAMR Bands, making the headbands right from her home office! While BAMR Bands started as a company in Maryland, it grew during her time in Virginia, and now her family resides in Florida. So, no matter where the Heddleston crew lives, BAMR Bands can happen!
