80’s Beloved Scrunchies are back!

Since the beginning of time women have styled and decorated their hair. In ancient Rome elaborate hairstyle indicated wealth.

In the 1700’s, colored wigs and elaborate accessories expressed one’s social position.

Women have styled their hair with feathers, bows and hats.

Today we color, cut, shave and decorate our hair as acts of empowerment, self expression and creativity.

The iconic image of Audrey Hepburn with her tiara in Breakfast at Tiffany’s reminds us of the glamour and fun these accessories can be. One of the most popular hair items in the 1980’s were scrunchies. These fabric covered large rubber bands are back. Embrace them or hate them. They are fun and an inexpensive way to change up your look.

 No simpler item to pull you hair back.

Katherine Bindley recently wrote an article in the Wall Street Journal about scrunchies being loved by Madonna and Justice Ginsberg. Blame the Movies, an Australian etsy shop sells some truly unique scrunchies. 

Will you be wearing them?
