The Revival of the Scrunchie

The forgotten hair accessory of the ‘80s is coming back, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular fashion statements of 2018. The revival is proven at my high school, in tabloids of celebrities, and even on the counters of Anthropologie. The scrunchie’s popularity might be because it does not create dents in our hair, a struggle that anyone who uses rubber bands to keep up their hair will relate to, and because of its versatility as a person can wear it to exercise, work, or flaunt the trendy item on their wrist. Currently, scrunchies are in several popular stores. You can find a pack of 4 simple scrunchies at Dollar Tree, or one silky, printed scrunchie at Anthropologie. Below are just a few ways to style the fashionable hair accessory.

The scrunchie is perfect for the half-up, half-down hairstyle.

If you would rather wear your hair down, the scrunchie can be worn on the wrist to give more flare to the outfit.

This Anthropologie scrunchie adds an elegant look to a messy fishtail bun.

It holds up an athlete’s hair as they get in a good workout.
