NEW YORK, September 17, 2025 — Goody, America’s favorite hair accessories brand, has announced two-time Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez as their brand ambassador.

Hernandez was a key member of the remarkable “Final Five” gymnastics team at the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she won a gold medal with her team and a silver medal on the balance beam. After the Olympics, she showcased her talents in different areas, winning Season 23 of “Dancing with the Stars” and joining NBC as a sports analyst. Additionally, she is actively involved with UNICEF USA.

Laurie brings her vibrant and bubbly personality, along with her versatility, to the Goody brand, which aligns perfectly with the brand’s commitment to empowering individuals to embrace their hair and explore their personal style.

From hair ties to scrunchies, bobby pins, and more, Goody has been a trusted leader in hair accessories for over a century, serving everyone from elite athletes to everyday users.

“My curly hair is an essential part of my identity! I love experimenting with new hair accessories and have a great time styling them. That’s why I’m thrilled to partner with Goody as their official Brand Ambassador. As a gymnast who often performs in front of cameras, I need to maintain focus and deliver flawless presentations. I rely on hair tools that I can trust to perform under pressure,” says Laurie Hernandez. “I can’t wait to share my favorite looks and the must-have products that help me embrace my natural beauty, inspiring other girls with curly hair to do the same.”

Laurie will be supporting all existing collections from the Goody brand, including their latest launch, Goody Sport. Goody Sport offers enhanced durability in hair accessories, designed to withstand even the most challenging workouts.
