Over the past few years, it’s become abundantly clear that ‘90s and early ‘00s fashion and beauty trends are back and bigger than ever. One such trend is the scrunchie, which has seen a major resurgence, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Scrunchies are fabric-covered elastic hair ties that are generally larger and poofier than your everyday hair tie. Due to their exaggerated size, scrunchies are often worn to make a style statement, whereas ordinary elastics are designed to be unseen.
Best Overall
Blissy Scrunchies
What We Love: They’re super soft, gentle on hair, and sold in 27 color combos.
What We Don’t Love: They’re not sold individually.
Silk scrunchies, like silk pillowcases, are thought to be the most gentle on strands. According to hairstylist Angelo David, owner of his eponymous salon, silk scrunchies reign supreme for their texture and versatility.
“Silk scrunchies can work well with a variety of hair types because of their smooth and soft texture,” he explains, touting the Blissy Silk Scrunchie as his top pick. Where silk scrunchies can help reduce frizz and retain moisture in curly hair, David says that they’re particularly great for dry and damaged hair, since they can help reduce friction and help prevent breakage.
“Silk scrunchies can help to keep thick hair in place without causing tangling or pulling,” he says. “And they can help reduce breakage and damage in fine hair, and can add a touch of volume without weighing it down.”

Kitsch Scrunchies
Amazon
What We Love: These packs of five are not only super cute, but a total steal as well.
What We Don’t Love: They’re on the smaller side.
Kitsch understands that hair ties don’t have to cost an arm and a leg — and that most of us need more than one on hand. Their 5-piece vale pack is offered in 11 different colors and an array of materials, including silk and chiffon. However, the velvet is the best-seller.
“Velvet scrunchies are great for preventing hair from slipping out of the tie, and they are gentle on the hair,” says David. “They are also a popular choice for people with thick hair.” This is due to the fact that velvet is a heavier material and can slide right off of fine or thin hair.
