Product Information

Silk scrunchies are hair kryptonite, and the benefits of wearing silk scrunchies are extensive. Let’s start with the frizz. Silk is naturally smooth and soft in texture, which prevents frizziness and reduces thinning, while preventing knotting, breakages and split ends. Elastic hair ties, on the other hand, can cause a lot of tension on the hair which can lead to splits and breakage down the hair shaft in the long run. Silk scrunchies, like silk pillowcases, are thought to be the most gentle on strands. According to hairstylist Angelo David, owner of his eponymous salon, silk scrunchies reign supreme for their texture and versatility. Additionally, Potempa says the scrunchies are less likely to crease your hair, so you can throw your hair up without fear of how it will look when you let it down in a few hours. Jersey and cotton scrunchies are light and quite stretchy, making them especially comfortable to wear, no matter your hair type.

Momme (mm): Momme is the fabric weight of silk and measures how much silk is used in the fabric. The higher the momme, the more silk is used — and the more it'll cost. In our silk fabric tests, better quality silks are 22 momme or higher, but are pricier. Dry: Leave them to air dry, as they will smell damp if you put them away, they might also stain. They shouldn’t go on a machine as the material is quite delicate and you know those are the type of things to disappear in a washer drier.

Reason #11: Skinny Silk Scrunchies Can be Worn as a Fashion Accessory for Your Wrist

The best scrunchie fabric choice will depend on personal preference and the type of hair you have,” Davis says. Scrunchies tend to be better to keep hair healthy. While both scrunchies and classic hair ties are made with elastic, scrunchies are safer because the elastic band — the element that tugs hair, which can lead to breakage — is wrapped in fabric, which prevents the elastic from pulling.

Elastic ties are convenient for throwing your hair up into a ponytail and out of the way, but they can create friction and tug on your strands, especially when they’re removed. This can lead to fragile strands, damaged hair and increased frizz. Silk scrunchies, on the other hand, are soft and smooth to reduce friction on hair. Hair stylist and cosmetologist Becca Mutchler says silk scrunchies are less likely to cause damage because the fabric easily glides over hair, which can also help minimize frizz. Besides helping you reap the benefits of silk, these luxurious scrunchies are a more stylish alternative to standard hair ties and can elevate your look.We've also found silk pyjamas, silk pillowcases, silk bedding, silk face masks and silk hair wraps. However, you can’t look at size alone, as the material used matters, too. Oversized chiffon scrunchies can be worn by all hair types without weighing the ponytail down, as chiffon is an airy fabric, while jumbo-sized velvet options are likely too heavy, unless your hair is dense or curly.
