It’s safe to say you’ve worn a scrunchie before, whether it was in the 80s when they reigned supreme or just last night to keep your hair away from your face during your beauty sleep. There’s no doubt that hair accessories are 2019's top hair trend – everyone’s either crazy for clips or having heart-eyes for headbands, but sometimes, especially on days when our hair isn't bouncing, behaving or willing to cooperate with a barrette, we feel the need to favour practicality over prettiness. Enter the humble scrunchie, whose utility matches its chicness and requires no such saricifice. Yep, scrunchies are perfect for adding a little pizazz to a pony or half-up half-down do with minimal effort or skill. Luckily for our locks, scrunchies have now made their way into mainstream territory, which means all our go-to retailers are carrying crops of cute designs (in other words, scrunchies made to match your tartan school skirt are no longer your only option). There’s one to suit every style and budget - here’s our edit of celeb-approved scrunchies.
