The idea to create the Tonytail® ponytail wrap came to me because I often liked
to wear my hair in a ponytail but didn’t like to use trendy colored hair accessories
or ugly rubber bands to hold it in place. With only a few options on the market, I
would opt for a rubber band, but would take a piece of my hair and wrap it around
the rubber band to hide it. This was far more chic (or “tony”) but wasn’t easy to
style without a lot of hairpins or even a professional stylist. Also, having to
sacrifice a piece of my own hair to achieve this look made my ponytail look less
full. And, inevitably, the wrapped piece would pop out and my style would become
a mess in a few hours.
I realized that Hollywood starlets have been wearing their hair like this for years.
My first memory of someone famous wearing this style was of Jeanie in “I Dream
of Jeanie.” Barbie® has been wearing this hairstyle for decades. Recently, I even
saw this look on a best actress nominee at the Academy Awards.
I wanted to give all women the ability to achieve this same “Hollywood” look –
simply and easily without spending a lot of time or money. And that’s how the
Tonytail was created!
And while it all started with the Tonytail ponytail wrap, we didn’t stop there! We
now have headbands, too, and are adding new products to our line about every
six months. We hope you enjoy these fun and innovative hair accessories!
