I don’t simply have one scrunchie on my desk right now. I have two! — and yet despite this, I totally get why they have a bad rap, because if you grew up in the ’80s, there’s a good chance you rocked a scrunchie, and you probably rocked it hard.
Then the ’90s came along, though, and everyone became too cool for scrunchies. They turned into a big joke in the hair world, like “Ewww! She’s wearing a scrunchie.”
But you know what? I’ve never forsaken the scrunchie. The scrunchie and I have been ride or die since day one, and the evidence is currently on my desk, on my wrist, and in my hair.
Look, if scrunchies are good enough for Jason Momoa, they’re good enough for the general population. Props to him for matching his scrunchie with his outfit like I did in sixth grade circa 1987, but please, Jason Momoa, if you’re reading this, I DID IT FIRST. ? *hair flip*
I’ve always loved scrunchies because they don’t leave that funny dent in your hair after you’ve had them in for a while, unlike your standard issue elastics. They don’t pull your hair out or give you headaches, either!
YOU CAN ALSO GET THEM TO MATCH YOUR OUTFIT. Mostly, I just think they’re really cute. I love that they’re floofy and look like ruffles. Um, sure, they aren’t terribly effective if you’re running or jumping. There’s no chance in hades that a scrunchie will stay in my hair if I’m working out or doing anything vigorously, but other than that, I’m 100% TEAM PRO SCRUNCHIE, always and forever. ?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Yes! Bring the scrunchie back! There’s a little boutique in my town and today I noticed a tray of scrunchies so that must mean they’re cool again, or at least ironically cool which I’ll take!
You can even get silk scrunches! They are supposed to be better for your hair. Supposedly silk prevents breakage and doesn’t leave marks in your hair.
Jason Momoa wears that pink scrunchie constantly. I took a pic with him at a con a few months ago and he had it on. Go back and look at when he hosted SNL, he had it on. He had Fendi match his suit to his scrunchie, not the other way around.
I’m fully on board as well! Even better if I can watch a 90’s movie or TV show while wearing one.
Oh my, I love scrunchies! Just a look at them and my mind is filled with memories ❤️ I remember I had at least a couple of them, one of which was red… I always wore it ? I have to buy one as soon as I can!
Nope, even if Jason Momoa did it (and you did it first) I will never go back to scrunchies. I am scarred for life.
I’ve worn scrunchies since forever. I can’t stand the other skinny elastic ties that leave ugly crease marks in my hair. Plus, my hair is thick, and scrunchies just made it easier to hold everything up. It is amusing to see that they’re back in style again because I literally was the only one wearing them that I know of.
LOL I’m so behind and am playing catch up, but I just had to comment! I love me some scrunchies. I don’t wear them out in public haha, but I have them everywhere in my house! They are the only thing I use in my hair at home and especially at night for sleeping. Thank the good lord for scrunchies!
