Why You Should Wear Scrunchies

Surely I'm not the only person to have noticed the scrunchie trend?

Scrunchies have made an iconic comeback in recent weeks. I remember them being worn by many girls in my class and the scrunchies were always coordinated with their school uniform. If you wore a red gingham dress, a gingham scrunchie had to be worn with it. Ah, the good days. 

Before scrunchies made a return, I used to use a standard bobble. I'd play the guessing game of how many times I could wrap my hair. The agony when three twists are too tight but two twists are too loose. Do you see my point? 

Then I tried using scrunchies - and now I have a new obsession. 

Yep, I absolutely adore them. They are SO much better for hair than a standard hair tie. Plus they look cute and are aesthetically pleasing. If you're still a little sceptical about using a scrunchie and why they're better than a normal black elastic bobble, here are some reasons why you should try them -

1) No chance of damaging your hair

This is the number one reason surely? Scrunchies pose less damage to your hair than a regular bobble. No counting how many hairs have been dragged out of your scalp after untying your ponytail or messy bun. 

2) No indents

No more worry of having a massive indent in your hair after taking out a normal bobble, a scrunchie leaves your hair indentless. If that's even a word.

3) They're on trend

I think this is literally the first time I have ever used this phrase on my blog. Hmm. Anyway, yes, there are so many on the market right now, get them while they're in stock!

4) Wear them as a bracelet

Always handy to wear on your wrist not only as a cute fashion accessory but if it starts raining, then it's there at hand to put your hair up to stop it from frizzing.

5) You'll never lose them

No more frantic searches under the car seat or underneath the sofa for a bobble. Scrunchies are very noticeable and easy to find. 

6) They're collectable

Could this be the start of a new hobby? I've already got quite a few in my collection. 

7) They'll never break

Yep, scrunchies will last a hell of a long time than a bobble. They may lose their elasticity after a while, but they won't snap.

8) They're cute and fashionable

You can buy them in a variety of colours, patterns, materials and sizes. Surely enough said?

9) You can style your hair in different ways

A ponytail, a messy bun, a half up, half down style - you name it, they're very versatile. 

Hopefully, I have convinced you to buy some scrunchies from a small business, high street shop, or online. I buy my scrunchies from Pretty Little Props, a small business that sells THE most beautiful hair accessories, including scrunchies. 

Do you prefer wearing scrunchies to standard bobbles?
