Scrunchies are hair accessories that have been popular since the 1980s. They are made of elastic fabric and are designed to wrap around a ponytail or bun, securing hair in place. Scrunchies are often adorned with various decorations, such as sequins, beads, or bows, and come in a variety of colors and patterns. Scrunchies were originally created as a gentler alternative to traditional hair ties, which can cause damage and breakage to hair. The soft fabric of a scrunchie helps to prevent hair from getting tangled or pulled, making it a popular choice for those with long or delicate hair. Additionally, scrunchies are often worn as a fashion accessory, adding a pop of color or texture to an outfit. Despite falling out of fashion in the 1990s, scrunchies have recently made a comeback in the fashion world, with many designers incorporating them into their collections. They are now considered a trendy accessory and have been seen on the runways of major fashion shows.
