Bed Head

Bed Head  is a line  of hair,  makeup, body,  and  nail  products that  transformed a playful insult into high fashion and sought-after name  brand. Bed Head  is known for catering to  a hip,  trendy, and  modern customer. Its one-of-a-kind packaging  and  unforgettable product names have  given  Bed Head  its reputation as a company pushing the  limits  of marketing and  branding. It gets its name  from  a popular trend of the 1990s  in which  hair was meant to look like one “just got out of bed.”  The  bed  head  hairdo is one  that  looks  effortless  and  not  overly styled. The  look relies on styling products to achieve  its no-fuss appearance.

History

TIGI  Bed  Head  was  founded by hairstyling giant  Toni&Guy in  1995  in  Dallas. Kyara Mascolo, wife of Bruno Mascolo, one  of the  four  brothers who started Toni&Guy, was the  mastermind behind the  Bed Head  logo  and  its savvy packaging  and  product names. The  colorful containers and  distinctive bottle  shapes have appealed to a wide array of consumers. Its originality is seen  throughout its total  marketing campaign, including self-service cosmetic displays.  Linking the products to celebrities and  magazines has  bolstered its cutting-edge reputation. Bed Head  evolved  from  Toni&Guy’s original  TIGI  hairstyling line that  began  in 1986.  It was a way to support Toni&Guy’s emphasis on  fashionable and  stylish hair  design.  Unilever purchased TIGI, which  includes the  Bed Head, Essensuals, and Classic lines for $411.5 million  in 2009.
