Whether you have thin and fine hair or long thick curls, scrunchies can slip if they’re made from the wrong materials or the one you bought isn’t meant to be worn for active lifestyles. You don’t have to give up your favorite hair accessory because it slips, simply take a different approach when styling your hair with it.
Here’s six ways to help stop scrunchies from slipping whether you’re at the beach, yoga class, a party with friends, or relaxing at home.
Add a Strong Grip Non-elastic Hair Tie Below
Hair ties like TELETIES are designed to give you a strong-grip without ripping because of our innovative designs. Each hair tie has a stopper that prevents it from sliding which is one of the reasons they stay in place.
By using a no-slip hair tie below your scrunchie you can give it extra support to hold in place. Try a color that blends with the scrunchie's fabric if you want the scrunchie to be the star, and use one that contrasts for a color pop adding extra vibrance to your style.
Bobby Pin It Into Place
If adding a hair tie below isn’t an option, a bobby pin may work. Position the scrunchie onto your ponytail, hair bun, or to secure the sides of a half-up hairstyle, then use a bobby pin over the fabric and secure it in your hair.
The bobby pin will clip the scrunchie into place and hold it, but bobby pins can leave creases. Metal bobby pins may also scrape your scalp, so be careful when clipping and sliding them into place.
Double Twist It
If your scrunchie cannot grip your hair tight enough, it's going to slide. By giving it a second twist you tighten the hole in the middle so it can secure your hair more easily. If it is still too loose, your scrunchie may be one size too big.
Go Down a Size
Just like other hair accessories, scrunchies come in multiple sizes. See if your favorite color or pattern comes in a size smaller, and that may stop it from slipping if the double twist method doesn't.
Find One With Slip Resistant Technology
Not all scrunchies are created equal. Here at TELETIES we use innovative materials and designs to help solve everyday problems like hair accessories slipping. This includes the technology and designs that go into our scrunchies.
The outside has a slip resistant band, and inside is one of our signature hair coils. The two work hand in hand to help secure your scrunchie in place and prevent slippage.
Try Different Fabrics
The fabric of your scrunchie may make a difference. Silk for example is smoother and meant to keep your hair in place while reducing friction. Terry cloth which is also great for wet or damp hair, or cotton may be able to hold in place a bit better if your scrunchie only slides a little.
The best way to stop your scrunchie from slipping is to test and see which strategy works both to stop sliding and work with your style. Hair ties provide extra pops of color and support, while bobby pins let the scrunchie be the star while securing it in place. Other times a combination of the above may be best.
