How to Care for Your Scrunchies

Scrunchies are a functional and stylish addition to any outfit. Whether you're rocking a velvet, silk, or cotton scrunchie, proper care is essential to keep them looking fresh and lasting longer. Here’s your ultimate guide on how to care for your scrunchies.

1. Understand the Material

We sell scrunchies in various materials, and each type requires specific care.

Silk: Gentle and luxurious, silk scrunchies help reduce hair breakage and are great for overnight use.

Velvet: Plush and perfect for colder seasons, velvet scrunchies add a touch of elegance to your look.

Cotton: Durable and easy to clean, cotton scrunchies are ideal for everyday wear.

Satin: Similar to silk but more affordable, satin scrunchies provide a smooth feel and shiny appearance.

2. Regular Cleaning

Keeping your scrunchies clean is crucial, especially since they come into direct contact with hair oils, sweat, and product residue. Here’s how to clean them based on their material:

Silk and Satin Scrunchies:
Hand wash in lukewarm water using a mild detergent.
Gently swirl the scrunchie in the soapy water for a few minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Lay flat on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid wringing out to prevent fabric damage.

Velvet Scrunchies:
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
For deeper cleaning, hand wash in cold water.
Avoid twisting or wringing out the scrunchie; instead, press gently to remove excess water.
Lay flat or hang to air dry.

Cotton Scrunchies:
Machine washable on a gentle cycle with like colors.
Use a mesh laundry bag to prevent tangling.
Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

3. Handling with Care

Gentle use: Be gentle when putting on or taking off your scrunchie to avoid stretching out the elastic.

Avoid wet hair: While scrunchies can handle some moisture, constantly using them on wet hair can weaken the elastic and fabric over time.

Rotation: Rotate your scrunchies regularly to avoid overusing and wearing out a single scrunchie too quickly.

Proper care and maintenance of your scrunchies can significantly extend their lifespan, ensuring they remain a chic and functional accessory in your hair care routine. By understanding the material, cleaning them regularly, storing them properly, and handling them with care, your scrunchies will stay in top-notch condition for all your styling needs.
