I have been dying to get my hands on a set of Goody spin pins for some time now. Every time I remember to look for them my store is sold out. Well my mailman was the harbinger of gifts yesterday bringing me the ultimate in functional hair accessories the Goody spin pin.

I am truly amazed at how well they work and how easy and fun it is to create looks. You just twirl your hair into a bun and tuck in the ends then twist one spin pin in from the top one from the bottom. The coating makes them slide right in and once they are in place your hair is set I tried everything and the pins stayed put. Once its time to take them out you just spin them counter clockwise and they come right out. Time for me to go I have more spin pin hair experiments!

Goody- Back to Basics

To tell you the truth I have an enormous head . While in day to day life its not an issue whenever I try on hats or headbands its anywhere from a painful to a humorous experience. I just read about the new Goody Ouchless Flex Pressure Free Headbands and said prove it. A headband that will fit the masses and me, I would like to see that.

Well prove it they did I was just sent a Goody Ouchless Zig Sag headband to try and it really is painless! The headband is still firm but has give on the sides so it doesn’t squeeze my head. And the tips of the headband are cool little bendable soft rubber pieces so you can adjust tighter or looser to fit your head. I have already worn it a few time and each time I forget its on which rarely happens with my head and headbands. Cute designs, no pain and under $5, genius!

Classic, chic and timeless – the little black dress is always in season. This no-fail option, which can be found in a variety of shapes and styles, can go from work to play any day. But there’s only one “Little Black Headband” and Goody’s® got it!

The Ouchless® Flex Pressure Free Headband features adjustable tips and flexible plastic for a no squeeze fit. Goody thinks it’s about time to stop sacrificing comfort for style – don’t you?

Get great hair without the hurt, only with Goody®!
