The 24 year old has accomplished more than most her age, Hernandez was part of the remarkable 'Final Five' team at the 2016 Rio Olympics, winning gold with the team and silver on the balance beam. Post games, she has taken her talents to other areas, competing in and winning season 23 of Dancing with the Stars, and joining the NBC team as a Sports Analyst. Additionally, she works closely with UNICEF USA.

Laurie brings her vibrant and bubbly personality and versatility to the Goody brand, aligning perfectly with the brand's commitment to empowering individuals to embrace their hair and experiment with personal style. Laurie is outspoken about her journey with her curly hair and an authentic fan of the products, which offer 'ouchless' solutions that avoid harming your locks. From hair ties to scrunchies, bobby pins, and more, Goody has been the leader in hair accessories people trust for over a century, from the world's largest athletic stage to your everyday styling.

“My curly hair is a big part of who I am! I love trying new hair accessories and have so much fun styling it, which is why I am so excited to partner with Goody as their official Brand Ambassador. Being a gymnast & often appearing in front of cameras requires me to have focus and flawless delivery, and I need hair tools that I can trust in the toughest tests,” says Laurie Hernandez. “I can't wait to share my favorite looks and the products that I can't live without to inspire other girls with curly hair to embrace their natural beauty.”

Laurie will be supporting all the existing collections from the Goody brand as well as their newest launch, Goody Sport. Goody Sport brings a new durability to hair accessories and stands the test of your hardest workouts.
