11 giant scrunchies to hide your bedhead, starting at $4
We’ve all pined over a trend—think ’90s jewelry, tie-dyed clothing, or white booties—and been crushed when sky-high prices prevented us from experimenting with the style. With Stylish Steals, we bring you affordable versions of the latest trends spotted on the runway, on Instagram, in stores, and on the street. Consider us your new, price-savvy personal shoppers.
I own a lot of scrunchies. Between hoarding hair accessories from elementary school and plucking scrunchies from the free table at my office, my collection has piled up over the years. But the weird thing is I’ve hardly worn them—until now. Sure, I always used scrunchies to tie my hair back when I washed my face, and they made consistent appearances when I walked, hungover, to the bodega for a soda. But as an actual style choice? No siree.
The scrunchie revival happened years ago, with people of all ages wearing the ’80s trend with casual and fancy outfits alike.
In 2019, VSCO girls reintroduced neon and tie-dye scrunchies, and celebs like Hailey Bieber seem to own an endless scrunchie collection. (Bieber uses them for the sky-high ponytails and half-up hairstyles that have become her signature looks.) So it’s time I use my scrunchies as more than a remedy for bedhead. Scrunchies are back, and bigger than ever.
As temperatures rise, giant—and we mean giant—scrunchies are all the rage. They keep your hair out of your face and off of your back, which is a must during the summer. Plus, they add a retro touch while keeping your look cool and relaxed—especially perfect as we work from home during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These days, we need no-fuss accessories to keep us feeling put-together but still comfortable. Enter: Giant scrunchies. Use these babies to tie your hair back before your next Zoom meeting, and voilà—you instantly look stylish and put-together via computer screen.
Below, shop 11 big scrunchies fit for working from home and hitting the streets (once it’s safe to do so).
