Goody Barrettes - 3 Count

I have always used these Goody barrettes. I have purchased may of these over time. I lose one or both of the pairs and just go get more. They are cheap so I just get more. They also tend to hold my hair in the best out of all the others I have tried. They are metal and are sturdy and durable. I like the more muted colors in these, and I like the variety of sizes and metal colors you get in one pkg you get. I could no longer find these in my local store and I am so glad that Amazon carries them.

For as long as I can remember, I could go into a local shop and find these barrettes. I was down to only one and was going crazy because I could not find a replacement. I finally thought to check on Amazon and actually found them — the same style and design I have always used. They are the only brand I could say have been consistent with their quality of design, material, style, and price. It’s only a shame that I have to order them from online now!

The illustration in the title of this review -- 8O : ) -- represents a happy lady, (me....or any other purchaser), wearing these wonderful barrettes! Officially called "3 Inch Domed Stay-Tight Barrettes by Goody", they have been around a LONG time, and I, for one, am very, very glad that this quality product -- and other quality hair products, (including all their wonderful barrettes), are still available from Goody. Like many people, I first saw 'Goody' barrettes, on the shelves of the late, lamented, and greatly missed classic department store, WOOLWORTH'S, 8O :_( But at least these wonderful 'Goody' barettes are still around!In the same 3 colours, (gold, silver, and brown), as before, they attach easily to the hair. I like to wear all three at once -- first putting in one barrett backwards, then raising the resulting semi-pony tail up, and attaching it to the rest of my hair with the other two barettes. I'm (very) slightly handicapped -- but, with a little effort, I can still do this entirely by myself, as these barrettes take in a good deal of hair, and STAY closed when you close them! (These barrettes are for average-thickness hair. If you have very thick hair, I suggest you use the Goody For-Thick-Hair barrettes.)These are very pretty, very shiny barrettes. The silver and gold colours are "foil-bright", and show off dark hair very nicely. (I've seen some very rich, blonde-haired ladies wearing black bows in their hair. Nice contrast if you have blonde hair -- but for those of us who don't, the silver and gold barrettes are a nice contrast for darker hair. As is the included brown barrette, for blondes who want to have more control over their hair than just putting in a bow!)It's too bad Woolworth's no longer exists. I've called up the company that replaced them, Footlocker, and they've kindly told me that Woolworth's has not just been incorporated into Footlocker -- it has been totally subsumed, and so sadly, Woolworth's itself totally no logner exists, (outside of England, where a totally different company, though with the same name, and same products, continues to exist.) My memories of Woolworth include those wonderful punch-out Valentine's Day Card books, and my first introduction to the luxuries of linen writing paper -- Fifth Avenue Notepads. And, of course, wonderful 'Goody' Barrettes. If even a "[...]" is totally out of the question by this time, (sigh! sob!!!!!....note to Footlocker -- I'm sure that a resurrected [...]' would be a BIG hit! I'm sure I'm not the only person to greatly MISS those Valentine's Day Card books!), at least the Woolworth's reputation for quality AND value continues, in some products once carried by Woolworth's Department stores, and still available elsewhere. Including these great 'Goody' Barrettes!A true classic, these barrettes are made by the 'Goody' company. The fascinating history of the Goody company, (which was acquired in 1993 by the Newell-Rubbermaid company in 1993). Yet, Newell-Rubbermaid graciously allows the proud 'Goody' name to continue! And no wonder -- with a reputation for excellent, very inexpensive hair-products, 'Goody', IN hair products, means value and excellence! These barrettes are easy to use, keep hair in place, and look great! They are definitely "keepers"....and I hope Newell-Rubbermaid, (and their subsidiary, 'Goody'), continue making them forever! 8O : )

I love the colors and the sturdiness of these barrettes. I was a little disappointed that they seem a little too tight for the amount of hair I want to put in them. They are not necessarily built for really thick hair. I would say my hair is thick and they hold very tight.

These are thick and hard which is good but do to tie too many of your hair. Size is smaller than expected. Designs and materials is very good. I do not have thick hair but it did not even work for me. Probably good for children who dont have very thick hair

Definitely keeps the hair out yo grill. Let's you see the whole world clearly. Could literally save your life if you were going to cross the street and you were able to see the bike messenger at the last second because your barrette was expertly doing its job like a boss. Godspeed barrette, Godspeed.

This style barrette is one of my favorites, but is sometimes hard to find in retail stores. This style stays closed and holds my hair very well. They are slightly curved to lay flat to your head. For a very reasonable price, these clips keep their shape, hold up well and last. This set is three colors, one each silver, gold, and brown tone, although sets of 3 or more of the same color are available.

Great value for your money you get so much.Easy to use.Cool colorsHolds my hair well I don't need to mess with it all day.Great quality
