Choosing organic cotton scrunchies
Organic cotton scrunchies hold hair gently without the crease a tight elastic leaves. Any scrunchie is kinder than a thin band, so the choice comes down to fabric and what sits inside. Komodo makes organic cotton scrunchies from fabric offcuts in wave, pinstripe and bolt prints, and AMOKA DALO makes them in organic cotton too. Using offcuts means fabric that would have been thrown away gets a second life. Wild Rising Skincare makes a satin hair scrunchie for smooth or curly hair. For thick hair, choose wider scrunchies with a firm elastic.
Plastic free hair ties
Plastic free hair ties use organic cotton and plant-based rubber, with no plastic or metal, so nothing snags or outlasts its use by centuries. Wild & Stone makes them in black, blonde and colourful packs. The soft cotton cover is gentler on fine hair than bare elastic, and the ties wash with the rest of your laundry in a mesh pouch. Organic Hair Accessories gathers the organic cotton pieces, and Vegan Hair Accessories lists the vegan options.
A bamboo hairbrush or wooden hair brush
A bamboo hairbrush with wooden pins detangles with less static than plastic and lasts for years with care. Moo & Yoo makes a bamboo paddle brush, and Green Island makes a bamboo hairbrush. A wooden hair brush suits most hair types, and a wide-tooth bamboo comb is gentler on wet or curly hair. Dot & Lola and BristolMade each make a bamboo comb, and Wild Rising Skincare makes a detangling wide-tooth comb. Start detangling at the ends and work upwards, and wipe the pins clean once a week so oil and product do not build up.
Headbands, wraps and a scalp massager
A headband keeps hair off the face for skincare or a workout, and a soft fabric band stays comfortable for far longer than a hard plastic one. Maysama and Silvan Skincare make bamboo headbands, Bare Addiction makes a cotton headband and So Just Shop makes a head wrap. Dead Sea Dream makes a scalp massager for a few calm minutes while you wash. Shampoo and Hair Treatments cover the rest of wash day.
Common questions
Are scrunchies better for your hair than hair ties?
Scrunchies spread the hold over a wider band of fabric, so they cause less creasing and pulling than a thin elastic. They are a good choice for fine or fragile hair and for sleeping.
Are satin scrunchies good for curly hair?
Satin is smooth, so it creates less friction and frizz than cotton. Many people with curly hair wear a satin scrunchie overnight.
Is a bamboo hairbrush good for your hair?
A bamboo hairbrush with rounded wooden pins is gentle on the scalp and creates less static than plastic. Clean it with a dry cloth and avoid soaking the wooden base.
How do you clean scrunchies?
Hand wash organic cotton and satin scrunchies in cool water with a gentle detergent, then air dry. Put them in a mesh pouch if you machine wash them.
