You might have seen your fav celeb or social media influencer rocking a scrunchie in their hair.

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.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]High Ponytail

1. Throw it back to the 80s with this fun and flirty look. Use your hands to pull all of your hair up to the crown of your head, then secure your ponytail with a scrunchie.^[1]
   
   • This style works great with a summery outfit, like a crop top and a skirt.
   • Or, you can use it to spice up a winter look, like a fall sweater and a plaid skirt.

[Edit]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.^[2]
   
   • 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.
   • 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.

[Edit]Half-up

1. You can wear this sweet look out to brunch. Start pulling the hair from the top of your ears upwards into a ponytail. Wrap the scrunchie tightly around your hair to keep your half-up look in place all day long.^[3]
   
   • This style looks super cute with scrunchies that have a ribbon attached to them!
   • Try pairing this hairstyle with a flowy dress or a maxi skirt.

[Edit]Low Ponytail

1. Keep your hair out of your face while still looking cute. Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and secure your scrunchie around your ponytail. Pull out a few face-framing layers to make this style a bit sweeter.^[4]
   
   • You can let your ponytail trail down your back or pull it over one shoulder.
   • Try pairing this look with a cozy sweater or a cardigan.

[Edit]Slick Bun

1. This high-fashion look is sure to turn heads. Brush your hair back into a low bun and secure it with bobby pins. Wrap a scrunchie around the bun for a fun pop of color.^[5]
   
   • If you have curly hair, don’t worry about brushing it! Instead, add a thin layer of hairspray or gel to keep your flyaways in place.
   • This is the perfect style to wear with a more designer outfit, like an oversized pantsuit or a flashy dress.
   • Try using a large scrunchie with lots of material for a show-stopping accessory.

[Edit]Pigtails

1. Complete a nostalgic outfit with this hairstyle. Split your hair down the middle and pull a scrunchie over each pigtail.^[6]
   
   • This is a fun way to complement a whimsical outfit like overalls or a jumpsuit.
   • You can match both of your scrunchies for a more cohesive look, or you can try mixing and matching colors or patterns!

[Edit]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.^[7]
   
   • 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.
   • This style works best with a smaller, thinner scrunchie so it actually stays in place at the end of your hair.

[Edit]Bubble Ponytail

1. A twist on the classic ponytail is sure to spice up your look. Pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a scrunchie. Add 2 to 3 more scrunchies down the length of your ponytail for a multi-colored rainbow of accessories!^[8]
   
   • This look isn’t for the faint of heart—you’ll definitely turn some heads in this one.
   • Try using this style to dress up a plain or monochromatic outfit.

[Edit]Space Buns

1. Add some feminine fun to any look. Split your hair down the middle and pull each side up into a bun at the nape of your neck. Secure your buns with a scrunchie to keep them in place all day.^[9]
   
   • You can try low space buns for a more chic and sophisticated look, or put the space buns high on the crown of your head for a more modern style.

[Edit]Bracelet

1. Scrunchies can be an alternative form of jewelry, too! Wrap your scrunchie around your wrist as a fun pop of color to save it for later.^[10]
   
   • For an extra bit of whimsy, try matching the color of your scrunchie to your top.
   • If you’re looking for a way to carry extra scrunchies around, try wrapping them around your water bottle.

[Edit]Bright Scrunchies

1. You can draw attention to your scrunchie with a fun color. Neons, patterns, and bold solid colors all look great on any color and type of hair.^[11]
   
   • This is a great way to add a pop of color to a monochromatic or plain outfit.

[Edit]Pastel or Neutral Scrunchies

1. Blend your accessory into your outfit with a more muted color. Baby pinks, blues, and earth tones won’t pop against your hair, so they’ll fit seamlessly with any look.^[12]
   
   • You can use scrunchies like this with almost any outfit, so they’re super versatile.
   • You could even look for a scrunchie that matches your hair color if you really want it to blend in.

[Edit]Tips

• Start out with smaller, thinner scrunchies and work your way up to larger, thicker ones.
