scrunchies

Puffy ponytail holders

Scrunchies are fabric-covered elastic bands for tying back hair.

The gathered fabric creates a softer, less damaging hold than plain elastics, and comes in countless colors and patterns.

Popular in the 1980s and 90s, they faded as a fashion cliché before returning as both nostalgic accessory and practical choice: She keeps a scrunchie on her wrist.
