Goodbye Ouch, Hello Fabulous Hair Days!
As girls, we’ve all experienced at some point the pain of hair brushing and hairstyling. I recall when I was younger and had very long hair and a lot of it, having to grit my teeth as my mom brushed my hair and either put it in French Braids or a bun. Oh, how I hated that process but having such long hair it was a necessary evil.
Now with my daughter, I feel her pain, and I try to avoid it. For her, she’s got more hair challenges because she has a lot of hair but it’s fine and tangles oh so easily. When she was younger, she hated to have her hair brushed because all she had to do was sleep on it and she would have a web of tangles. I did everything I could to gently brush out those knots, but it was inevitable that there were tears.
Thankfully those teary days are over once we discovered Goody’s Ouchless hair brushes. These were a game changer; I don’t know how they do it but they make a big difference when it comes to getting those knots out without it being a painful experience for my daughter. I no longer have to add extra conditioner to her hair to get all the knots out, which in itself caused issues. The Goody® Ouchless® Girls line is now a favourite in our home.
With my daughter’s hard to tame hair the Goody Ouchless brushes have made this once horrible task oh so easy. My daughter was thrilled to receive some new Goody Ouchless hair brushes in pink. You know what it’s like, brushes get misplaced all of the time but you can’t be without them, and we definitely cannot be without a Goody brush in this home.
I can even style my daughter’s hair now, something else she hated before because of the pain of the hair brushing. She’ll style her hair herself too with some of the cute Goody hair products. As she’s gotten older she hasn’t been one to fuss with her hair much but because Goody makes some cute and fashionable hair products for girls she will use them.
She loves their comfy headbands as it’s a quick way to tidy up her hair and add a bit of colour to her outfit for the day. She also loves the headwraps for the comfort and added style that even a low key fashionista loves.
Now that her hair is long enough again she has been wearing her hair up in ponytails a lot this summer using elastics from the Goody Ouchless line to hold her hair in place. She can add a little wow to the standard ponytail with cute clips and a Goody Scrunchy for the finishing touch.
It’s no wonder that Goody® Ouchless® Girls Brush is a 2016 PTPA (Parented Tested Parent Approved) Award Winner. If you’re not familiar with PTPA, the seal means that real parents have put the brush to the test with their kids and have given it their personal stamp of approval.
There’s a reason that Goody hair products are a household name: they have great products for girls and have proven they’re a top choice. We love them, and my daughter can’t wait to try out more new hairstyles with her Goody products. I have to admit that I may have borrowed a few items because after all, they’re good for moms too.
We’ve got a fabulous giveaway of Goody hair products for one lucky winner. It has a retail value of approximately $240! To enter go to the giveaway post HERE.
This is a sponsored post in partnership with Goody. All thoughts and ideas are my own.
Denise Osborn says
I have granddaughters that I fix their hair every morning for school. They are always complaining that I hurt them trying to get those little bands in and out of their hair. I love the no ouch factor!
Sherri says
I have long hair but I can’t wear it down, because by the end of the day, it is one big nest of tangles
Marcie W. says
My girls do their own hair now but still have to look presentable for school. These Goody products would make that process easier.
Tanis says
These are great quality products. Always nice to have something for girls that doesn’t hurt when they brush their hair. Love the colour in the hair, too!
Margot C says
I always buy Goody hair stuff, still! I always have.
donna dufresne says
i used these as a child and i used them on my daughter i now use these on my granddaughter thank you for the chance
Laurie W. says
I sympathize with your daughter as I too have fine medium length hair with the addition of it being curly. 🙁 And my daughter too, especially when she was younger, had long curly hair so we tended to put it up in a ponytail most of the time just to keep it out of her face. Most of the hair accessories we would use were Goody as we found them to be the best quality.
TRICIA Hunt says
Love these products.. Would love to pass them along to some special little pixies in my life.
Caroline says
I would love to win these for me! Goody products are so great on my hair because they don’t damage or leave it tangled. I often put my hair up somehow so I tend to go through many hairbands.
Kim Hamilton says
Thanks for sharing. My younger sister has always struggled with brushing her hair and it’s seemed almost impossible to find an ouchless brush. Will definitely by trying this!
Tara Gauthier says
I can definitely identify with this post, my daughter hates having her hair brushed but the goody ouchless brush is excellent and we love the hair ties too!
Brenda Penton says
I love Goody products! I use their hair ties and the bands all the time. They are great during workouts, never slip.
L Wood says
Gone are the days of rubber bands and broken hair strands. Thank Goodness for products like “Goody” !!
Kristin Smith says
I can so relate to the hard to tame hair! My poor daughter cries more times then i care to admit when I’m doing her hair. . Breaks heart. . I’m forever saying oops sorry. ..aww I’m sorry. . And i know it’s really hurting her. . Like your daughter my daughter’s hair gets tangled really bad just from laying down on it. .most times i have to just put it in a ponytail and then a simple braid because anything else is too much pain for her ? and although weve only ever used the goody ouchless elastics.. just those alone make taking out braids, ponytails etc a lot easier. .i have no doubt that all Goody’s ouchless products would be perfect for her kind of hair! Great blog! PS i love the blueish steaks your daughter has !
Kristin Smith says
Meant to say *streaks not steaks! Lol Sry. . It’s too early for me! And now that i look more closely i think the streaks are more green than blue. … guess that counts as “blueish”lol
Monique L.S. says
We’ve used the Ouchless brush, and it really is awesome!
Debbie Petch says
I am always looking for a good brush that takes out tangles and knots with out hurting!
Shana Langley says
My daughter also has thick tangly hair and I am always looking for detangling products. This is a fantastic giveaway! Thank you. 🙂
Krista M says
Goody is such a classic, high-quality brand. We have bought other types of hair accessories at the dollar store & they are just garbage. I didn’t know Goody had an ouchless line & this is so innovative & very needed!
Aimee says
We use a lot of goody hair ties, and bobby pins. My daughter is in ballet so we go through a lot. They are a good price if you lose many.
Travelbuds says
I have been using goody products for years on myself and on my 11 year old daughter. She is mixed and her hair is crazy crazy. I need all the help I can with her hair. She goes to ballet and has to have her hair in a bun on those days which is very challenging. These product would help tons.
Christina Ferguson says
My daughter had very thick hair and it was abattle every morning to brush her hair. The Goody Ouchless products would have definetly been used in our home back then. I totally understand why it is a Parented Tested Parent Approved Award Winner. If I have a granddaughter it will be on my Grandma buy list. 😀
Sherri Gagnon says
I have had long, thick hair, pretty much my entire life. I normally chop my hair off to my shoulders every 3 years or so, and donate it to charity. I take very good care of my hair, keeping it strong and healthy. I’ve never dyed it, streaked it, or caused it any major damage. Taking good care of my hair is very important to me, which is why I stick to the best hair accessories, made by “Goody”. I only use “Goody” hair ties on my hair, as they are strong enough to hold my hair, yet soft enough as to not pull or tear my hair. Also, the “Ouchless Hairbrush” that you reviewed is the same one I use regularly. It is strong enough to go through my thick hair, and remove any and all tangles, yet doesn’t get stuck, pull or tear my hair. It’s completely painless, as the name says, “Ouchless”. I just LOVE “Goody!” Best products ever!
Darlene Demell says
My grandaughter has a lot of trouble brushing her hair due to knots and things. The Oucheless hair brushes would be awesome for her.
Sophia,M.,McConnery says
I may be 58 but my hair is long.I do not want hair in my face so I use these types of products to keep the hair out of my face.I have a wide variety of pins,clips,headbands,and such,in all colors,sizes,and materials.Good to have a lot of choices.
Cathy C says
Goody has so many good products that look good and help with managing your hair.
sarah sar says
I love Goody and their ouchless brushes, it’s all I buy for the family now. Their elastic bands are also awesome and never break!
Holly MacRitchie says
I have never tried Goody products before! From reading your post I think I may go purchase some hair elastics for myself.
kim says
Brushing out long hair is a huge pain, I didn’t know Goodies had an Ouchless brush – we’ve been using the Ouchless elastics which work great – looking forward to trying the brush as well.
Erin says
Those headbands are great for sports & working out. I’ll have to get some!
Carey Hurst says
So funny I remember when the first hair bands came out without the killer claw picks lol it was such a happy time . Ouchless is a great way to do many different styles and only worry about the hurt from getting hair tugged and pulled to make the creation.
Nancy T says
I knew about the ouchless elastics but I had no idea they had a Goody Ouchless brush! Perfect for my 2 curly haired girls!
Cheryl MacPhail says
Our girls are the same once they sleep they have a tangle mess!! 🙁 I also find the Goody ouchless line great. It helps tame their mess without all the screams!! No only if I could cure the mess in their rooms?!?

Victoria says
My daughter gets huge matted knots right at the nape of her neck. Her hair isn’t very thick but thick enough that she can’t comb it through in the shower with her fingers. Hopefully, these goody products should do the trick.
Nicole B says
I love these products but I have never tried the brush yet.
Luminous Angel says

Wow I didn’t know Goody has such an array of products.

I like the headbands, they look so much nicer than the ones that used to dig into my head as a child.
Heather Swanson says

We haven’t tried anything from the Ouchless line but that brush sounds great. We have been using and loving the Goody Tangle Fix brush though. It works like a charm on our tangley hair.
Bailey Dexter says
I never knew there was Goody’s Ouchless hair brushes, I will have to look the next time I am out. My granddaughter would love this for her long hair!

Erinn Lishman says
I love Goody products and appreciate that they offer an array of “ouchless” items! It’s amazing to see my girls actually excited to put their hair up, when it used to be a struggle just getting them to brush their hair!

I learned that the Goody Ouchless girls brush is a 2016 PTPA award winner.
Cheryl says
I love Goody Products when I was a child I dreaded getting my hairbrushed and elastics because it would always hurt but now that I’m older and I discovered Goody Products they don’t really hurt my hair and they hardly ever get tangled it into my hair
hailey84 says
I had no idea that Goody made such a variety of items. I knew about elastics (they are my fave) and hairbrushes, but had no idea about scruchies, barettes and bun makers.
Cathleen @ A Taste of Madness says
I have been using goody hair elastics for years, but I had no idea they made anything else! Good to know!
Tammi L. says
My daughter’s hair is very long and very, very curly. It is extremely hard to handle and we only use Goody products. When she was younger I used to have to comb through her hair every morning while she was sleeping, tiny section by tiny section – it took forever.
Tammy harrison says
I also have very thick, coarse and long hair. I have been using goody ouch less elastic for years and love them!
Brenda Lacourciere says
My 3 year old granddaughters hair is past her bum and we always have this issue. Glad to know a company cares! I need to try this stuff.
lori butler says
the ouchless elastics are fantastic, I love them, and lose them.
Cindy S. says
I need to get one of those Goody Ouchless brushes for my daughter. She insists on having long hair but keeping it brushed is a major problem. This sounds like the answer!
AD says
I have super thick hair; it’s the bane of my existence some days. I have struggled to look after it my entire life and as a kid would scream through the pain of having it brushed. I love the new Goody products on the market, pretty awesome. Wish they were around when I was little.
Jackie Mercer says
I totally understand the Ouchless elastic phase. When I was a kid, everything hurt! I hope my daughter never has to go through that.
SarahJ says
I didn’t know Goody had so many products. I would like to get the girls ouchless brush for my niece.
Julie A. says
I’d be interested in trying their headbands if you say they are comfy. It’d be handy to have something to hold my hair back, but most headbands give me a headache.
Angela Massis says
Goody Ouchless Brushes have been a blessing. It has made our grooming experience more fun and spending time time with my girls is so enjoyable. Thank You for the great variety of brushes and hair accessories.
Sara Muzzatti says
These look fantastic… Ouchless yah!
Sandi Tymchuk says
Thank you for sharing this article, and for the contest. It was nice to focus on the importance of quality time and fun girl-friendly experiences. I treasure my memories of my Mom caring for my hair, even when it hurt. Now that there are products from Goody available to make it even more pleasant and pain-free, I see an even greater opportunity for fun hair care for girls, and fun, pretty hair decorations, too!
sharon says
i learned about the ouchless brush which would be perfect for doing my nieces hair

I love Goody products, they have a lot of amazing products for everyone!
Andrea Amy says
I have boys, but I use the ouchless products for myself and I love them! My hair is like your daughters, long and fine and it tangles easy. I have to wear it in a messy bun for sleeping or I’m in big trouble for the morning, and I love that i can use the ouchless elastics and they don’t hurt when I take them out!
Steph D says
I love goody products! The “ouchless” line is my favourite as I have very thin hair so many other brands hair elastics tug them right out!
LILLIAN BROWN says
Thanks, I learned that Goody® Ouchless® Girls Brush is a 2016 PTPA (Parented Tested Parent Approved) Award Winner. I never knew this and I am pleased that real parents approve of this brush.
Sandy Couzens says
I actually use the Goody ouchless elastics and brush. I grow my hair to donate for Wigs for Kids. I donated 11 1/2″ last January and am well on my way again. It is so important to have quality products to protect my hair and Goody does the job well. I also have 3 daughters with long hair so we use a LOT of hair products. Thank you for all the great info, it was helpful 🙂
Steph says
I can totally relate to the long thin and tangled hair!! I would love to try out this Ouchless Brush, I have never heard of it before this review! I will definitely keep my eye out of it next time I am shopping so I can pick one up!

Goody is a name we’ve trusted for years. I bought the Ouchless elastics and now I know why the package said #1 in Canada…they are wonderful!
Heather W says
I have 3 boys, then finally got my little girl on the end.. It broke my heart that she would never let me do her hair. She always wanted to wear it down, and getting her to hold still long enough to brush it was a fight. Just recently she’s finally letting me put pony tails, and buns in her hair (having had 3 boys I really need some practice lol). These goody ouchless products look fantastic, and I’ve tried other headbands but they always slide off her.. Maybe Goody is the way to go! I can remember when I was a little girl having a brown Goody hair brush!
Rosanne Robinson says
We’ve used high quality Goody hair products in our family for many years and I think that the Goody Ouchless brushes are terrific.
Viv Sluys says
I have a Goody paddle hairbrush that I love. What’s the difference between a paddle brush and the ouchless brush? I have 4 girls so I would love to make hairbrushing time have less tears! I love Goody’s clips because they stay in all day!
Brandee H says
I have had long hair my entire life, and these sound like amazing products! I would have loved the Ouch-less brush when I was a kid. The hair bands sound like not only a great fashion accessory, but also great quality. They stay in place, and don’t hurt!
Carole Dube says
We love Goody products! The Goody Ouchless brushes is awesome! I love the green and blue colour in your daughter hair.
Judy Cowan says
Love Goody products! I love that they now have the ouch free products, I remember growing up and the pain of some of the old style elastic being taken out after they got tangled up. This would be an amazing prize to win for my nieces!

I love these products. It is hard enough trying to get my daughter to do something with her hair, but these definitely make it easier.

We share your old pain in our household. My daughter has my long, thick hair. She wakes up with the worst bed head even after having her hair thinned. Styling is usually out of the question & we are missing out on moments of creating various fun styles. I am intrigued to discover if the girls line of Ouchless Goody products are the answer to our tearful styling woes.
Gord says
I learned that Goody Ouchless Girls Brush is a 2016 PTPA award winner. This brush is going to stop a lot of tears!
Jennifer P. says
I love Goody hair products, and always have. I still have a couple of my “vintage” plastic Goody hair barrettes from when I was little (and I just turned 40…), and now I love that I can get the same ones for my girls – I think I’ve bought them all, in all the designs and colours! I also use there hair elastics ONLY – no others will do! And I would love to introduce more of their products into our home for my girls, starting with some head bands and brushes.
Linda says
