Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Tie Up That Long Hair!

I once had a hair stylist tell me I had enough hair on my head to account for that of 3 people. He then proceeded to name the mountain of hair on the floor that had been TRIMMED off, and told me he was going to keep it as a pet.

I've had thick hair problems (or THP, as I like to call it) for as long as I can remember. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful for my thick hair. It's hard to remember to appreciate it, however, when your mother has to cut out the knots because there's too much hair in the tangle to comb out. It can also complicate the simplest of tasks, such as taking a shower and having the water properly drain, or trying to put your hair up.

I break hair bands like you wouldn't believe. I don't even have to be doing anything creative to get it to break. Simply attempting a ponytail will cause the typical rubber band to detonate like a hand grenade, launching it's fabric covered rubber shrapnel at the speed of light into my hand. Not to mention the fact that I'm always left hunting the house like a crazed animal looking for a suitable replacement that will undoubtedly follow in the footsteps of those before it. That was before I discovered The Tye.
This is actually after a severe Pinterest hair fail, but you get the idea.
A girlfriend of mine was starting a new business, and sent my boyfriend (who also has a ridiculous amount of hair) and myself a package of Tyes. They were colorful and soft, but in all honesty, I didn't understand their draw. Then I used one. They didn't break. It didn't matter how hard I yanked and tugged on the little suckers, they didn't break! They also left my hair unkinked when removed, provided they were tied into dry hair. I was sold. So sold, in fact, that I've now taken over the business completely.
Myself and The Tye founder Vanessa, CLEARLY slaving away making Tyes.
My name is Emily Barker, and I used to suffer from THP. Life seemed dark, from behind untamed tresses always getting in my eyes. But now, with a daily dose of The Tye, I see life with a new, unobstructed view. Give them a try. Side effects may result in fabulousness.
Be well,
-Em
