“Stay Active, Stay Focused and StayPut”

February 10, 09

Do you ever find yourself in the middle of a good work-out, when all of a sudden you notice that your hair clip or elastic is slowly making it’s way down your back?! lol

Well, now Goody offers ‘StayPut’ hair accessories – which offers a patent-pending technology that provides more hold than traditional accessories – to help you “Stay Active, Stay Focused and StayPut”.  ”It’s Activewear for your hair that works as hard as you do!”

So, I decided to put them to the test!  I called upon my two athletic sisters – Kristina and Jessie – to wear them for a week while taking notes! Take a look at some of their Pro’s and Con’s:

THE HAIR ELASTICS

Kristina:  ”Hold’s hair tight, even when running; will not slip from your hand when trying to put in a ponytail…however, when removing them, they pull on your hair…not very enjoyable”

Jessie:  ”I really liked these elastics…but they were hard to remove”

THE CLAW CLIPS

Kristina:  ”Holds hair tight and in place, even when running!  Would definitely continue to use these.”

Jessie:  ”For the amount of hair the clips hold onto they work great and don’t slip or let go.  I used these while skipping and they didn’t even move…however, I have longer (thin yet thick hair), and I found this didn’t quite hold enough of my hair – would enjoy perhaps a wider clip?”

THE ADJUSTABLE HEADBAND

Kristina: “I like how it’s adjustable, so it can fit any head size…however, I didn’t feel as though the rubberized interior really held the band tight enough on my head”

Jessie:  ”Loved the adjustable strap – But found that it slipped a bit when doing a lot of movement like in my Ashtanga Yoga class.” (Take a look at the picture below of my sister Jessie wearing the Goody hair accessories while doing Yoga…I love this pic! Hi Jess!!) 

 

So overall, their favourite Goody StayPut accessory:  The Claw Clips!
