Jakks Pacific inked a deal with M-Star Media to serve as the global master toy licensee for Cute Girls Hairstyles. The deal was brokered by licensing agency, Brand Central LLC and Select Management Group.
Lead by hairstyling expert Mindy McKnight, Cute Girls Hairstyles is the No. 1 hair-styling channel on YouTube. The channel was spawned from a website featuring tutorials that were initially published as a hobby for McKnight. Since the YouTube channel debuted in 2009, Cute Girls Hairstyles has amassed more than 25 million followers across its social media platforms.
“The Cute Girls Hairstyles (CGH) toy line allows girls to take what they have learned from my videos and then apply and practice the skills at home,” says McKnight. “The product line will enhance my audience’s overall experience with my online content and overall is a natural extension of the CGH brand.”
The full range of CGH styling heads, wigs, hair styling tools, and hair accessories for kids ages 6 and up will be available globally this August.
