Review: Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics

This photo was taken from Muggyman

           I was sent these from Influenster in their Sunkissed VoxBox. I've been wearing these ribbons for almost 2 weeks now and I am so amazed at how these work.When the whole ribbon craze came out, I really didn't understand. My hair is extremely straight, sleek, and long, and it normally takes me 2 hair ties to hold my ponytails in place. However, I only need one of these, and my high ponytail is there to stay all day e'vry day! The package comes with 5 hair ribbons in 5 different colors: pink, purple, taupe, silver, and black. They retail from $3.99-$4.99.

          Here is what Goody's website description of the product:

          "Goody’s NEW Ouchless Ribbon Elastics offer you a unique hair tie to personalize your ponytail. As beautiful as ribbons but soft and stretchy too, these hair ties are “knot” your average elastic. New Ribbon Elastics are both comfortable and fashionable, plus look great in your hair or on your wrist."

          Do I think this product is soft and stretchy? Yes, definitely!

          Here are the product features as described by the website:

          Product Feature:

                        • Unique knot style hair tie 

                        • Soft, stretchy ribbion material 

                        • Looks beautiful on the wrist or in the hair! 

                        • Assorted colors 

                        • From America's #1 elastics brand, Goody® Ouchless®

          Do I think this is a unique knot style hair tie? No, there are so many other ones that look like these out  there! Whether they feel or perform the same, I have no idea.

          Do I think this is soft, stretchy ribbon material? Yes to soft and stretchy. No, this is not like a craft ribbon or present ribbon, it is more like an elastic.

          Do I think it looks beautiful? I think this is up for interpretation.

          Does it come in assorted colors? Somewhat, 3 neutral colors 2 "bold" colors.

          As for my two cents on this product, I really like it. From what I noticed, it does pull less hair than my Scunci hair ties. They hold my hair pretty well throughout the day, but if I go for a run or do an intense workout, my ponytail will budge a little. I have also noticed that the ribbon has gotten a little looser with use, but I don't know if it will continue to loosen up. If it begins to deteriorate or change in some drastic way, I'll do an update on these. The knot has also gotten tighter while the ring of the ribbon got bigger. I also find it extremely annoying that there is a noticable knot in the ribbon. I understand you can style it so the knot is at the bottom, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it because I'm challenged lol. I like that they have a variety of colors from more natural to fun colors. However, if you compare how many units you get to price to other hair ties, these are definitely more expensive.

My Overall Rating: 93/100

If you have these, let me know what you think. Do you love, hate, or neutral them?

Until next time..
