Scrunchies are back on the catwalk, and they’re looking better than ever.
Struggling to find the perfect hair accessory that won't damage your hair? You're not alone. Many women love the convenience of an elastic to tie up their hair, but they soon realize they have split ends, frizz and other damaged hair issues. If this sounds familiar, or you want a better way to wear your hair with accessories, then scrunchies are your answer.

Why is it best to tie your hair up with a scrunchie rather than elastiic?
It's often recommended to tie your hair up with a scrunchie rather than an elastic hair tie because scrunchies are generally considered to be more gentle on your hair. Here are a few reasons why:
Scrunchies are less likely to cause hair breakage: Elastic hair ties can pull and snag your hair, leading to breakage and split ends. Scrunchies, on the other hand, are made from soft and stretchy materials that are less likely to cause damage.
Scrunchies are less likely to cause headaches: Elastic hair ties can be tight and uncomfortable, which can cause headaches and even hair loss over time. Scrunchies are usually looser and less likely to cause this type of discomfort.
Scrunchies are less likely to leave a crease in your hair: Elastic hair ties can leave a noticeable crease in your hair when you take them out. Scrunchies, on the other hand, are less likely to leave a mark because they distribute the pressure more evenly across your hair.
Overall, while both scrunchies and elastic hair ties can be used to tie up your hair, scrunchies are generally considered to be a more gentle and hair-friendly option.
