Beloved by It-girls, the oversized scrunchie adds texture, volume, and a pop of color to classic summer hairstyles. If you’re looking for a new way to tie your hair or add a trendy touch to your classic bun, try the giant scrunchie: the ’90s hair accessory that none of us thought would be back in style in 2024.
Earlier this summer, American model and It girl Bella Hadid stepped out on the Cannes Croisette in an oversized white scrunchie paired with a sleek, high-gloss bun. As with any Bella Hadid look , the internet quickly adopted this latest look, making the use of voluminous hair ties a summer hairstyle trend.
The Oversized Scrunchie and the Chignon
The most popular hairstyle that accompanies the oversized scrunchie trend is the classic bun . Since a sleek bun eliminates all the volume from the hair, often hiding the bun behind the profile of the head, introducing an oversized scrunchie can add more dimension to your look, beyond the minimalist style. This hairstyle is also ideal for ultra-short bobs or similar hairstyles, as it helps draw attention away from any flyaway strands.
The Oversized Scrunchie and the Semi-Collected Cut
If a sleek bun or full ponytail isn’t your thing, you can incorporate the oversized scrunchie into the whole repertoire of hairstyles that we call the half-up haircut. Whether you use it in place of a regular hair tie or other accessories, this is a cool way to breathe new life into a super classic look.
The Oversized Scrunchie and the Braided Ponytail
To take your braided ponytail to the next level, simply add a giant scrunchie. Whether you add it after you braid your ponytail or before, at your hairline, it adds extra volume, color, and texture to your hairstyle, creating the perfect style for any summer occasion.
The Oversized Scrunchie and the Ponytail
You can opt for a classic ponytail pulled back, leaving a few stray strands framing your face, and simply add the giant scrunchie. A ponytail is an ultra-chic option and only takes a few extra seconds to complete. Start by pulling your hair back, smoothing out any stray strands, applying hair oil, gel, or wax, and running a brush or comb over your scalp to hold it in place. While other hairstyles may not need the extra support, adding an oversized scrunchie will help your hairstyle stay in place longer.
