How Do You Keep Scrunchies in Your Hair?

Published in Hair accessories 2 mins read

Keeping a scrunchie securely in your hair, especially if it's large or your hair is fine, can be easily achieved by using a foundational elastic first.

For a reliable hold, particularly if you find your scrunchie is a little too large at the end, the recommended method is to tie a basic hair elastic in place first and then loop the scrunchie over the top to help it stay in place.

Step-by-Step Secure Scrunchie Method

Using a smaller, standard hair elastic underneath your scrunchie provides extra grip and stability, preventing the scrunchie from slipping down throughout the day.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Start with a Basic Elastic: Gather your hair into the desired ponytail, bun, or other style. Secure this style firmly with a regular hair elastic (like a thin elastic band without fabric). Make sure this initial elastic is tight enough to hold your hair securely on its own.
  2. Add the Scrunchie: Take your scrunchie.
  3. Loop Over: Loop the scrunchie over the hair secured by the basic elastic. Wrap it around as many times as needed until it feels snug and covers the underlying elastic.

This technique ensures that even if the scrunchie itself is loose or decorative (like a voluminous one), the basic elastic underneath is doing the primary job of holding the hairstyle, while the scrunchie adds the desired style and soft feel.

Using this method works well whether you prefer a subtle, slimmer scrunchie or a voluminous one for drama.
