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!

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!
