Goody’s Golden Girls

January 23rd, 2012

Its one of the most anticipated events in showbiz, and with the arrival of the annual Golden Globes comes an array of new hairstyles to covet. This year’s awards caused yet another media frenzy and as starlets stormed the red carpet in the most desirable of dresses, there was only one thing on our mind …who won gold for hair?

Angelina Jolie kept it classic, opting for a sleek yet simple up-do, secured at the crown of her head. To add an exciting touch to an otherwise predictable style, Angelina’s hair was braided into a figure of eight style bun. Paired with an elegant gown and pillar box red lip, this style perfectly reflected her grown up glamorous look.

Nicole Richie was a little more daring. Her bouffant style pony had us all wondering just where she was hiding her elastic? Lifting the hair from behind the ears upwards, gives the face an automatic lift (cheekbones anyone?). Nicole kept this look playful by letting her golden locks flow down from above her pony – Magical!

Dianna Agron’s tousled side swept up-do definitely got a gold from us! Flattering as a quiff, but requiring much less structure, this is a style that we can’t wait to wear! By adding beachy texture to the lengths of hair before sweeping upwards, Dianna created a unique tousled up-do, which was both sexy and sweet all at the same time. We love!

News “Just in”?

January 13th, 2012

The latest star to sport paint pop locks? Disney teen sensation, Selena Gomez! Stepping away from her usual (and perhaps a tad predictable) brown glossy mane, Selena added a splash of colour by tinting the ends of her hair both blue & purple!  Making sure the paparazzi didn’t beat her to the news, Selena took to Twitter to show off her new crayola inspired locks saying:

“Change is good… My girls @ninezeroone take care of me always :) LOVE”

Selena joins a whole host of celebs in the colour craze, which started back in 2011. We can’t help wondering what Justin thinks of the more adventurous Selena?

January Gym

January 6th, 2012

January = gym time. After a season of over indulgence and partying, the start of a new year is always the time to get fit. Gyming it is no idea of “fun” for most of us, and the dreaded work out is only made worse by frizzy hair falling in our faces. Fancy making your gym sesh a bit more fashion friendly? Goody is on hand to make sure you look stylish as you sweat it out on the treadmill.

The holy grail of hair bands for a pony that stays put are the Goody Slide Proof Elastics. Coveted by beauty editors and hair stylists alike, these clever little bands mean that you won’t have to waste those precious calorie burning seconds adjusting your top knot.  We challenge you to make one of these secure holding bands slide out (we know we’ll win!).

If it’s a fringe or shorter pieces of hair that fall in your face, look no further than the Goody Slide Proof Headwraps. Available in a range of colours, these slide proof headbands sit seamlessly at the front of the hair and do not budge!  Wear with a pony, an up-do or even leave hair loose – just make sure these handy bands are always in your gym kit.

At the end of a busy day, the last thing you want to do is create a gym worthy bun using a whole pack of bobby pins. But what if just one pin could hold up your whole head of hair….oh wait a minute…it can. Compact enough to tuck neatly into your kit but strong enough to hold your bun in, the Spin Pin has the hold of 20 bobby pins! Now a top knot can be created in just one spin.

So no more excuses – the gym awaits you.

After Party SOS

December 19th, 2011

Christmas is upon us and please don’t doubt that we are just as excited as you…eeek. It might be the “most wonderful time of the year” but all that primping and preening for festive frolicks is bound to take its toll on your hair.

January, for most, is a time of ultimate detox – preparing the body for the year ahead. But how many of us consider the health of our hair? Cold weather and excessive styling mean that hair is left feeling a little fragile. Make sure you are prepped to look after your locks in 2012 by stocking up on Goody’s hair friendly essentials.

  • Goody Ouchless Shower Comb: Use this snag free comb to ensure that conditioner is spread evenly through your hair. NEVER use a normal brush/comb on wet hair as this will only add to the dreaded wear & tear
  • Goody Start, Style, Finish Vent Brush: For quicker drying time, resulting in less damage, get your hands on one of these clever little brushes. The vents mean that air from your dryer reaches the hair, without the heat directly damaging your locks
  • Goody Smooth Blends Cushion Brush: For everyday care, this luxury brush treats hair with the care it deserves. By distributing the natural oils evenly it ensures that the ends of your hair are left feeling nothing other than loved
  • Goody Ouchless Elastics: Detoxing your hair doesn’t mean you can never style it! These metal free elastics allow you to pull hair into even the highest of ponytails without ripping or snagging the lengths

Given you a few extra ideas for your Christmas list? Here’s to a 2012 of groomed but glossy manes.

My Week with Marilyn – Get the Look

November 25th, 2011

As new blockbuster “My Week With Marilyn” hits our screens we can’t help but be lulled in to the style siren’s retro appeal.

The blonde bombshell was the true icon of the 1950’s and thanks to Michelle Williams’ portrayal of Marilyn Monroe’s troubled persona her platinum locks have been brought to life once more.

You too can create Marilyn Monroe’s “set to perfection” look in a few simple steps with Goody tools:

  1. Wrap small sections of dry hair around Goody Small Self Holding Rollers. Keep in mind that using asymmetrical roller patterns will give you a more natural looking style
  2. Set your pin curls using a hairdryer at medium heat and allow the curls to cool down for 10 minutes
  3. Once your curls are completely dry unwind each of the rollers and use a Goody Wide Tooth Comb to break-up and soften the curls.
  4. Finally create a deep side parting using a Goody Tail Comb and cover your style with a mist of hairspray to give extra durability

This style is the perfect addition to Autumn/Winter’s grown up glamour look. Rollers at the ready!

Goody enough for the MTV EMA’s?

November 11th, 2011

This week saw the star studded MTV awards descend upon Belfast for an evening of popastic glamour. Each of the 2011 MTV EMA presenters, nominees, and performers, including this year’s host Selena Gomez, received this amazing array of must-have items. The goody bag, which was full of the hottest brands on the planet, included none other than a Goody Spin Pin! Can you spot our famous little spiral amongst this flurry of uber cool gifts? We are sure that it will be gracing the head of many a super star in the very near future!

Dress it dark

November 8th, 2011

With a sense of Halloween and the smell of Bonfire Night still in the air, early November is the perfect time to embrace a bit of dark glamour. As the days draw shorter and the cold sets in it is hard to resist adding a touch of gothic sophistication to your look.

Autumn sees a wealth of opulent fabrics hit the high street and you’ll want to make sure your mane is made to match. So whether you smooth hair into a slick high pony or bouffant your bouncy blowdry just make sure there is an air of darkness to it.

Add as touch of dark decadent glamour to your style using the Goody Black Jewel Flower Bobby Pins. The perfect way to embellish any up-do, these pins have a certain vintage quality that well exceeds their £2.69 price tag!

Embrace it whilst you can …we will all be tucking our locks up in bobble hats before you know it!

Pick your perfect hairbrush and say goodbye to static!

November 2nd, 2011

We would all love a gorgeous blow-dried mane to give Olivia Palermo or Claire Danes a run for their money…so why after using the right styling products do we end up with such static locks?

When it comes to achieving the perfect salon blow-dry, it is so important to find the right brush to help you achieve a sleek, chic mane.  Goody is here to ensure you have the right tools that won’t leave your hair looking static or flyaway. 

Static electricity is usually created when two or more objects repeatedly rub against each other. The brush ends up holding a static charge that is passed on to the hair and ultimately causes it to stand on end. Now, static is difficult to avoid, but you can remove the static from the brush if you use one made from certain materials. Always use an anti-static hairbrush, with a style made from wood or one with natural hair bristles such as boar.  Goody has just the one for you with the Mosaic Boar Ceramic Cushion Brush.

Bye-bye flyaways!

Fight That Frizz!

October 17th, 2011

With Autumn upon us, it’s only a matter of time until the dreaded frizz sets in. Cold, blustery conditions and cranked up central heating combine to deplete hair’s moisture levels, leaving locks dry and unruly. However, with a few simple styling changes, there really is no need to be a slave to serum this Winter.
 
Unless your hair is extremely fine, load up on a deep conditioner. Be sure to leave it on for at least five minutes in the shower, combing through the lengths of hair with a Goody Ouchless Shower Comb. Never use a comb/brush that is not designed to be used on wet hair. This will tug at the hair when it is at its most vulnerable, resulting in tearing and breaking of your tresses…eeek!  And when drying off, blot. Don’t twist or rub your hair with a towel, which can break the hair and lead to flyaways.
 
Next, for a silky smooth blowdry, get your hands on a Goody Start, Style, Finish Hot Round Brush. Not only will it give you vivacious volume, this clever little tool contains ions to help prevent frizz and tourmaline to fight static meaning that dreaded frizz frenzy will be long forgotten.
 
And finally to secure your silky smooth style, lightly spray a Goody Paddle Brush with a mist of hairspray and run through the lengths of your hair. This will ensure that the damp weather doesn’t get the better of your barnet. So, don’t wait for the cold to set in, get yourself into a frizz fighting routine before Winter’s wrath takes hold.

Kelly Rowland’s got the X Factor

October 3rd, 2011

The Nation is gripped with the ultimate talent show, …… yes you guessed it, X Factor. This year the focus has not only been on the contestants but also on the new panel of judges, which Simon Cowell has carefully selected to bring fresh, new faces to the nation. One of the new recruits, is all time favourite diva Kelly Rowland! Boys eat your heart out, this lady is even giving Cheryl Cole a run for her money. Forget the Destiny Child look, Miss Rowland is a “survivor”, being on the money with her style and flourishing into even more of an “independent woman”.
 
Kelly has been turning heads with the new, exquisite hair styles pulled out of the bag every week. You might be thinking that her look would be impossible to copy on a budget…well you think wrong! With Goody products you can be stepping on the toes of  the stars (and we guarantee you will not be spending nearly as much as Kelly). Our ultimate tool for achieving any Kelly-esque style is the Goody Smooth Blends Cushion Brush. It slicks hair into salon worthy styles whilst distributing natural oils through the hair. Now who could argue with that?!
 
Don’t forget to watch this Saturday to see what hairstyle Kelly pulls off.  Just think….with Goody’s fabulous collection of hair accessories, this style can definitely be recreated in your hair!
