Summer Ponytail Styles Call for Goody Ouchless
Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 10:33PM This has been a ponytail summer.
Between swim team, camp, and the urge to grow their hair really, really long, this has been the summer of the ponytail.
Keeping hair tied up has been essential for so many reasons:
It's soooo much easier to get those swim caps on when hair is tied up
Hair is a little less knotty after swimming in the pool with a ponytail
Putting hair up and under a cap can help keep ticks off kids
It keeps the girls cooler during hot summer days spent outside
The only issue with having to do so many pony tails is the 'ouch' factor.
I hear "OUCH" when I brush their hair. I hear "OUCH" when I'm putting the elastics in, and I hear it when I'm taking them out...especially when their hair is wet.
Thankfully Goody approached me and offered to let me test drive their newest line of 'ouchless' hair bands and brush!
Goody Ouchless hair bands
Goody Ouchless Brush
Keep in mind - just like the TwoferMom logo shows, I have one with curly hair, and one with curly hair and one with straight hair so we are giving the Goody products a good all-around test. With BOTH hair types I noticed less snagging, less wincing, and yes, less "OUCH!" with the Goody Ouchless brush.
We were swimming yesterday so the real test was taking the Goody Ouchless elastics out of wet, knotted hair. This usually has El in tears. As she was getting ready to shower I heard her say, "These really are ouchless mom!" as she pulled the elastic out of her hair.
Where to find Goody Ouchless

I have long curly hair that can get super snarled w/ hair accessories. Ouchless sounds perfect
i have a tendency to have my son rip my pony tails out..i think he like my hair straight and down..anyways..he usually gets a good bunch of hair with the elastic

My daughter hates having her hair brushed because it is often very tangled. This Ouchless brand would be perfect for her!
I can feel my hair thinning out a bit, I definitely don't want anymore ouches!
Here's the link to my Twitter post (I think) http://twitter.com/?lang=en&logged_out=1#!/tfcoronado.
I tend to use scrunches to reduce ouchies....LOL
I would love less ouch when I brush my hair. My hair right now is way too long and gets tangled all the time.

My daughter is growing her hair out to donate to locks-for-love, so we're trying to be very gentle with it and keep it in good condition. Playing outside, swimming in the pool, and driving around with the top down reeks havoc on her hair, making it a tangled mess. Combing through that every day definitely brings out the ‘Ouch!’ . Love the ouchless hair bands but haven't seen the brush. I'll look for it. Thanks!
If this ouchless brush can help me get a comb thru my daughter's rats nest...I'll be a believer! Plus, my other daughter's brush broke and she won't let me replace it. It's fun finding teeth combs all through the house and in her hair. I could really use a new brush. :)
My grandaughter could sure use this...................she is a big crybaby when it comes to brushing her hair

i could definitely use ouchless elastics for while my hair is pulled back at the gym. it gets sweaty and messy and generally finds a way to tangle around my elastic by the time i hit the showers.
I would love to win this! My hair gets so tangled and being a busy mommy this would help me!
I sure could use these for myself would make doing my hair in the morning easier
