Kokom hair scrunchies are handcrafted with affection from traditional indigenous Kokom scarves, which are traditionally used as head coverings by indigenous elders.

She names each scrunchie after ladies who have had a significant impact on her life.

Handcrafted with love, Kokom hair scrunchies are made using traditional indigenous Kokom scarves, which are typically worn as head coverings by indigenous elders. Each Kokom Scrunchie is handcrafted and designed by Mya Beaudry, a talented 10-year old entrepreneur from the Kitigan-Zibi Reserve, which is near Gatineau, Quebec.

Using materials she had on hand, Mya began watching videos on YouTube explaining how to create scrunchies and soon she started sewing and made her first batch of scrunchies. The very first scrunchie she created is known as ‘our first love’ in her online shop. Mya did not stick to only using one particular colour of the Kokom Scarf. 

Mya, along with her mother has used a number of diverse Kokom scarves, nine in total, and presently they form the core line of Kokom Scrunchies. She launched Kokom Scrunchies in June 2020. Mya Beaudry named each scrunchie on the women who have played an important role in her life.
