Come on, admit it, at one point in your life so far your mother enforced a scrunchie into your hair (or your sister's). Be it when you were 4, 10 or now me at 24. I bet it also matched one of your dresses or 5.
THE SCRUNCHIE IS BACK!
I'm telling you it is, high fashion and WGSN say so.
I am in fact, wearing one now and it feels damn good.
Practical? Yes! Slightly attractive? Yes! Does it come in a range of fun colours? Why yes, yes it does!
Today mine is cream lace, tomorrow it will be black lace, next week black and white spots perhaps.
Why do I feel it is necessary to write about such a somewhat superfluous item? Well because hair is big at the moment. Donuts, french roll aids, clip-on fringes (yes no joke), wide headbands, jewelled alicebands, elastic pony covers etc... all are around and in a big way. People are experimenting and doing new things with old ideas.
Take the scrunchies for example. You don't just pop it around a mere ponytail (you can, but it's not the 80s/early 90s), you take it and wind it around a messy bun. Instead of 'birds nesting' or top knotting your hair with a boring elastic, you use a thick scrunchie to add colour and interest. You can also layer your scrunchies. Smash them around a large bun on your head, put them around your donut. Anything is possible.
I am excited as this also hides my 'I really need to wash my hair, but going to the gym tomorrow so what's the point' hair. Yay!
