They're heeeeeeeeeeeere.
Scrunchies are back!
...Okay, they've been back for a while. But, after much consideration and not just a few 'are you for real?' moments, we've come to the conclusion that we're okay with the revival of the long lost eighties hair accessory. Heck, we might even be more than okay. Why? Read on...
1. They don't leave a kink in your hair. You know what I'm talking about. You wake up in the morning and take a shower, throwing your hair up in an elastic while you're getting all washed up, then out you get, and when it's time to release your mane you find yourself with an elastic-made kink. Annoying. A good scrunchy, with all its soft and lush material, will kick this situation to the curb.
2. They're kind to your hair. Some hair elastics can rip or tear your hair. Creating a case of the frizzies. A sweetly soft scrunchy won't.
3. They're a fun way to jazz up your look. Velvet cord in forest green. Pizza patterns. Hot pink. Sequinned. Studded. There's a scrunchy to suit your style! Heck, you can even match your mood to your scrunchy, if you're so inclined!
4. It can big-up your bun. A big, bold, messy bun is fabulous. And if you're hair isn't exactly voluminous in its own right, a scrunchy can help you fake it when you make it!
5. They're not just hair accessories... A scrunchy on the wrist? Instant bracelet.
6. For one hot second we can pretend we're Heather. The cool, original one. Sure, she was a cow of the highest order. But she rocked that red scrunchy. We'd go so far as to say it was the scrunchy that gave her its power. But be warned, with a red scrunchy comes potential death. Just saying. It's not for the faint of heart.
They are the BEST for keeping my hair up in a long hot bath!
