History

Henry Goodman founded Goody in 1907. Goodman immigrated to the United States from Hrytsiv, Ukraine. He and his sons started the business by selling rhinestone-studded hair combs out of a pushcart. The Goodman business quickly grew and by 1921 their growing variety of products were being sold in the Midwest and throughout the Northeast. The products were sold under the name H. Goodman and sons. A few years later their products were sold nationwide in national variety stores. The company’s growth was directly proportional to the increase in discount stores and shopping centers. As the styles changed throughout the years, so did the products sold by Goody. Goodman’s son, Abraham, went to New York University and earned a degree in accounting and served as president of the company for more than 50 years. He retired in 1977 and H. Goodman & Sons became known as Goody Products, Inc in 1980. The Newell Company acquired Goody Products in 1993.[3] ACON Investments, LLC. acquired Goody Products, Inc. from Newell Brands in 2018.[4]

A ponytail (also called a hair tie, hair band, hair elastic, or bobble) is an item used to fasten hair, particularly long hair, away from areas such as the face. This is usually done as part of a hairstyle such as pigtails, bunches, or ponytails for straight, wavy and loosely curled hair, and referred to as afro puffs, bunny tails and "pineapples" for highly curled and highly textured natural hair. Two common types of ponytail holders are the scrunchie[1] and the elastic. The term can also include a fixed tie which is placed through strands to hold specific parts of hair together, rather than tie it or clasp together like a hair clip.

Ponytail holders' elasticity and durability vary according to the material or materials from which they are made.

History

The use of hair ties, in one form or another, is likely to have stretched for thousands of years, as the primary reason (controlling hair disrupting daily activities) would have existed from an early point. This would have had to take place by whatever means were possible, with bands of leather a likely early option.[2] Alternatives included entwined threads of different fabrics, or entwined pegs, with one 1500 year old example including gold in its creation.[3] Brighter and rarer coloured ribbons were usually preferred by girls.[2]

In the 18th century wigs used a "queue" or "tail", consisting of a leather strap or small bag, to hold the wig together and support it.[2][4]

The early to mid 19th century and the modernisation of a rubber industry[5] allowed for use of rubber in clothing, which would ultimately include early elastic hair ties.[2] While providing some of the benefits of modern ties, being flexible in size and self-closing, rubber ties could catch on individual hair strands, pull on them, remove them from the scalp and ultimately cause loss of hair.[2][6]
