Whether they're silk, satin, velvet, or cotton, hair scrunchies are one of the most popular accessories of the year. Compared to elastic bands or thin hair ties, these accessories are more gentle on the hair and scalp. They're also much more fashionable. However, if you haven't used them, you may have concerns about how to wear them. If you're unsure, take note of the following.

Do:

Turn it into a fashion statement.

When choosing a scrunchy to wear, think of it like any other fashion accessory. It can complement the colors in your outfit and jewelry, or it can be the single pop of color if you're wearing neutrals. 

Choose a size according to your hair.

As fun as oversized scrunchies are to wear, they aren't for everyone's hair type or length. Larger diameter ones are complicated to use if you have short or thin hair since you must pull and loop it around the ponytail multiple times. However, if you have longer, thicker, or curlier hair, larger hair scrunchies are preferable.

Don’t:

Wear one that blends with your hair.

Hair scrunchies are supposed to stand out, not hide. If the color is close to your hair color or it's too small, it looks like an afterthought. If you want something more subtle, this is fine, but if you're aiming for fashion, don't be afraid of something bolder in color or size.

Use more than one at a time.

While layering bracelets or necklaces can look chic, wearing multiple hair scrunchies looks busy. It's also more complicated to manage if you have to fix your hair later in the day. If you have numerous ponytails or braids in your hairstyle, choose an elastic band or thin hair tie instead.
