This is America where we will recycle fads generation after generation! That being said scrunchies are back! I bought some cause they were cute, and on sale. Let me tell you why they’re so much better than the black elastic bands I used previously!
1ONE: LESS BREAKAGE
Those elastic bands pull my hair out! Like a lot! Ladies how many of us have pulled those things out of our hair, and had hairs wrapped around the band! Ive noticed that scrunchies in a silky or velvety texture help reduce that issue! I’ve yanked mine out, and they glide off my hair without taking my hair with it! Any type of scrunchy would be better than a plain elastic band, because the fabric is an extra layer between your hair and the elastic so it causes less tension. Which is the hair damaging nemesis!
2TWO. HAIR HEALTH
I have a bad habit of putting my hair up real tight even though I know its not good for my hair! I don’t want hair loss at my hairline, but I dont always have time to do my hair. I need my hair to stay out of my way! Scrunchies hold my hair, and fully secure it without pulling it crazy tight! Remember tension on hair causes damage so loose ponytails are good for our hair health. Side note: My hair is thick, and goes down to my bum & scrunchies hold it all!
3THREE. COMFORT
Since the scrunchies don’t pull my hair too tight my ponytails, and infamous mom buns don’t hurt my scalp or cause headaches. My hair is up, and my scalp is comfortable. When something is cute and comfortable I call it a WIN WIN. No more pulling my band out, because my scalp is in pain from holding up my heavy hair that I pulled back too tight!
4FOUR: ELASTIC BANDS ARE BORING
Wish scrunchies came back in style sooner! They’re so versatile, plus they don’t look tacky on your wrists. I love to match my outfits to my scrunchies, or sometimes I’ll spice things up. For instance I’ll wear an all black outfit with a cheetah print scrunchy. I’ll match my shoe color to the scrunchy, or just have all my accessories be the same color as it. Some scrunchies even have bows on them, floral prints and fun designs; There’s so many options, and that’s fun!
5FIVE: LOW STYLES
Scrunchies work best with low hairstyles. That’s also what’s best for our hair health, because it causes less opportunities for breakage, and damage. So I’m currently using scrunchies as a way to help train myself to simply pull my hair back & out of my way; rather than way up high in a tight ponytail. Wish me luck cause I’m trying to break more than 20 years of habit over here right now!
So basically scrunchies are the OG at hair care. Especially for those of us that suck at doing our hair everyday & usually rock ponytails or the mom bun.
