Scrunchies are Back

It's official, the 90s hype has even spread as far as bringing hair scrunchies back. Topshop says so.

At first, I found this a bit odd, I still remember going to Primary school with them. However the more I see them around, the more I grow fond of them, so I went to dig out my old ones from my box of many bands.


My trusty scrunchie was still there after all those years & I have to admit, I do like it. But it lacks a little something that the Topshop scrunchies have - the x-factor of hair scrunchies (if you can imagine that?)... I mean look at this.

The combination of polka dots from the 60s, 'scrunchiness' from the 90s & bunny ears from I-have-no-idea is perfection. So I have started a little project to creating the ultimate scrunchies...


Hopefully I'll be able to show my creations in a little while & maybe even wear them in public... (Who'd have thought!)

  1. I'm not sure I could see myself wearing scrunchies again but I'll have a look at the Topshop ones and see what you come up with before I make up my mind!

  5. Ooh can't wait to see, I have been deliberating buying a scrunchie myself lately but I'm concerned I'll look a bit too 90s-gymnast!

    1. I know! And as its got a softer edge to the normal bands, it isn't as damaging to your hair - win win!xx

  8. I remember those ! And when they would start to look elasticity, that was another issue. I don't tie my hair unless I am jogging, so I will be missing out on this trend ;)

  10. Do you remember wearing three different scrunchies increasing in size? That was cool when I was little. Not so sure about them now though...
