Goody will dazzle you and comfort you this holiday season
October 27th, 2008
We have a drawer full of hair accessories, 75% of which are Goody. Whether I’m looking for simply yet strong hair elastics or stay-put clips, Goody has what I want at a price I’m more than willing to pay. But besides changing up some of their colors and adding a few fun headbands Goody hasn’t changed much…until now.
This is a review my girls thoroughly enjoyed. What girl doesn’t love new hair clips, barrettes and headbands especially if they’re ouchless or sparkly. We received samples for both of Goody’s new lines, the Ouchless collection and Holiday Jewels collection, and all three of us girls loved them all!
If you or your girls have sensitive heads (I’m pretty hard headed myself so I guess I’ll use the “old” stuff) then Goody’s Ouchless collection is perfect. The original Ouchless accessory was a line of brushes in 2004 and I’m really glad they’ve expanded it to include elastics, claw clips, barrettes and headbands. The Claw Clip is designed with curved teeth to prevent digging and flexible wings that give slightly when you lean back (i.e., you won’t feel like 10 tiny daggers are digging into your skull should you lean back in your chair). The Updo Barrettes are soft, flexible and metal-free and the Headband features a soft, contoured shape and flexible tips so you can avoid the dull, aching pain that often accompanies headband use. That was probably my favorite accessory for that reason alone!
Ouchless is good but sparkly is even better, at least my girls thought so. Even though we had no place to go my girls were sporting some serious holiday style the moment we opened the Holiday Jewels samples. I tried to have them save the accessories for a special occasion but gave that up pretty quickly. They’re Goody so they’re good to last; why not have fun with them even if they’re just heading outside to play. The only problem was deciding just what to wear: the festive barrettes? the dazzling headbands? So many sparkles, so little time!
Fortunately some styles are more conducive to everyday jazzing up, like the Metallic Snowflake headband or the Dasher headband. My faves are the Glitz Glam headband (soft and comfy), Gumdrop bobby slides (great for short-haired girls like me), Sugarplum headband (not the most comfortable but very cute) and the Very Merry StayPut claw clip (probably my most favorite—too bad I can’t wear it!) If your budget doesn’t include a new dress for the company party, don’t worry. Goody’s got you covered! Their Holiday Jewels collection—exclusive to Target—is a great way to glam up for the evening. Plus, it’s Goody so you know it’s high-quality and affordable. My kind of holiday shopping!—Emily
Note: I couldn’t find images of my favorite Holiday Jewels accessories but you can find them exclusively at your local Target store from now through February 2009.
