It’s no secret that scrunchies have made a huge comeback in recent years, and they are pretty good proof that almost any fashion trend can and will be revived eventually.

Silk Scrunchie Benefits

In addition to their aesthetic look, silk scrunchies also provide benefits for your hair health.

Regular elastic hair ties tend to pull on the hair, while a silk scrunchie has a more slippery feel that cuts down on the tension and friction that can be caused by a traditional hair tie.

This is particularly helpful for people with dry, brittle, or overall weak hair, as it can help prevent breakage.

I also find that silk scrunchies are helpful for people with thin hair as well, as they tend to provide more volume to my updos than a traditional hair tie would.

Can You Wash Scrunchies

Wondering if you can wash scrunchies?

Similar to clothing, it all depends on the material in which your scrunchies are made out of.

Luckily, silk scrunchies can be hand washed.

How to Wash Scrunchies

Some silk scrunchies can be machine washed in a laundry bag, but hand washing is always the safest option to prevent any potential damage if you’re unsure.

Simply use a pH neutral liquid detergent (never use a bleach product) to hand wash your silk scrunchies under cold or warm water.

Do not tumble dry your silk scrunchies, and instead allow them to air dry.

Difference Between Silk and Satin

To get the silk scrunchy look, you don’t necessarily have to break the bank by buying real silk.

We’ve listed out lots of options below in different materials that will all help you achieve this popular style.

If you’re wondering what the difference is between silk and satin though, the biggest difference is that silk is a natural fiber.

Satin fabric is a weave.

While you can achieve the silk scrunchie look with satin scrunchies, silk as a fabric is generally known to be stronger and shinier.

However, satin is a bit more durable and is definitely much more budget friendly.

Overall though, you can rock the silk scrunchie trend using either a silk or satin scrunchie.

Both materials are good for hair health and certainly a better choice than a normal hair elastic.
