You might have seen your fav celeb or social media influencer rocking a scrunchie in their hair. The fun colors, the silky material, and the interesting patterns all make for cool accessories to any outfit! If you’ve got a scrunchie you want to wear, try adding it to different looks and styles for a fun way to pull your hair up.

Messy Bun

  1. This everyday hairstyle can be worn almost anywhere. Pull your hair up into a ponytail, then wrap your scrunchie around it twice. Pull your ponytail through the scrunchie one more time, but stop about halfway through for a simple messy bun.[3]
    • If you have pretty thick or long hair, a scrunchie might not be tight enough to hold your bun in place. Try using a normal hair tie first, then add a scrunchie on top.[4]
    • For an even messier look, try pulling a few flyaways down near your face.
    • You can secure your bun with bobby pins if it feels too loose.

Classic Braid

  1. This simple style goes well with almost any outfit. Brush your hair out and split it into 3 even sections. Do a classic braid by crossing over the right side, then the left side, then the right side again, alternating all the way down. Secure your braid with a scrunchie to keep it in place.[10]
    • You can pull your hair to the side to show off your braid, or you can leave it trailing down your back to get it out of the way.[11]
    • This style works best with a smaller, thinner scrunchie so it actually stays in place at the end of your hair.

    Braid your hair in a Dutch style straight down the middle, and then tie it off with a scrunchie!

    Since you have dark hair, lots of colors would work. Try different ones and see what colors you like best.

    Just about any color looks good with blond hair, but I'd recommend pink or baby blue.

Article SummaryX

To wear a scrunchie, try matching it with a braid, pony tail, or high pony tail for a little flare. Alternatively, use a thick scrunchie to hold a bun on top of your head. Choose a scrunchie that matches the pattern or colors of your outfit for a coordinated look. Or, for something different, use multiple scrunchies to create a bubble ponytail. For more tips, including how to tie a ponytail with a scrunchie, read on!
