Scrunchies are coming back!

[eponinepontmercy]

I miss scrunchies.  Suck it, haters.  My default hairstyle for high school and college was a soaking wet bun with whatever scrunchie fit my mood that day.  We were doing that way before Pinterest had a million ways to get your hair into the perfect messy bun.

Well the transformation is complete.

It’s 1992 again.

[2curlydogs]

No.

[mrsbro]

Nope. Request for scrunchies to come back has formally been denied.

I admit a few years ago when I started wearing my hair curly, I used scrunchies for the gym and even occasionally outside the gym because they didn't fuck up my curls like regular elastics did.

It's like that SATC episode all over again.

Idk. If Cressida Bonas looks silly with as crunchy in her hair, there's no hope for the rest of us, lol.

I bought DD a leotard and it came with a matching scrunchie. She loves it. She is also 4.

YES WE CAN (WEAR SCRUNCHIES)!!!

[irishbride2]

Cute in kids. Not adults!

I make them for DD

[ringstrue]

My only reservation in supporting HRC is the idea that I'd be pressured to wear a scruchie in solidarity.

[niemand88f]

I'm wearing one right now.    I use them when I volunteer before work since my hair has to be up there but I want to take it down again for work without the bump a normal hair tie creates. This morning I went all the way up to my office before realizing I forgot to take it out, but my hair brush was still in my car 7 stories down. The scrunchie stayed in.

[josieposy]

Can we get US flag scrunchies in bulk?

[oliverboliverbutt]

Shit! I threw away about a dozen a few weeks ago while going through stuff from my parents house. They were in my old caboodle :-p

[IIOY]

My hair goes up in a mini scrunchie every day around 5pm, in time to make dinner, wash my face, and take care of business around the house. Hell, today I'm ahead of schedule and have one sitting in my lap right now because we closing in on that time every day when the heat is too much and I can't take my hair on my neck anymore.

[msmerymac]

Guys, I have to state the obvious: tie-dye is also back. And I'm fucking ELATED about it. I really had to make sure I wasn't dreaming, but I feel confident saying that it is indeed in style. And boy am I ready! *digs out t-shirts from 1995* I think I even had a tie-dyed scrunchie at one point, to bring this full circle.

[elleblue]

Next up? Choker necklaces! 

Lol.

One of my (3) old caboodles is currently our tool box. Now that I own a house, I should probably get a real tool box.

I saved the caboodle to put makeup in, but then I realized that despite having read the entire makeup thread I don't own enough that it makes sense.  I think I'm a makeup thread failure.

My sister will be thrilled. She has been wearing them this whole damn time.

[emilyj]

They might be back.

You can't make me wear them.

[gault]

I had to wear two to properly pull back my mane.
They never matched.

Update: my hair is now in a mini-scrunchie and it is GLORIOUS. ETA: suck it haters.

That SATC episode is almost unwatchable to me, the way over the top overacting that SJP does gives me second hand embarrassment for her (I mean worse then her usual overacting in the show).

In my high school, our version of The Plastics were known as The Scrunchies because all of them wore their scrunchies on their wrists.

If I start seeing that IRL in 2014, I might die.

Oh god, I remember when people did this. Big, thick scrunchie bracelets.

My daughter now wears thick elastic bands around her wrist, even to bed, in case she has a hair emergency. She just turned 8. ::tears::

[blink]

I have a single scrunchie from F21 that I got 3 years ago. I wish I had more.
