Manufactured by Gaylord Products, Incorporated out of Chicago, Illinois, the Gayla Hold-Bob brand revolutionized the home beauty industry with its patented flex-grip design, featuring a smooth, rounded end that wouldn't scratch the scalp.

Gayla heavily marketed to these everyday consumers by promising invisible, secure hold for complex updos.
