10 Best Silk Scrunchies for Healthy Hair

Blissy's standard scrunchies are made of the same silk material as its popular pillowcases, which were top performers in our Textiles Lab tests. The machine washable fabric held up to repeated laundering, while testers told us it felt "incredibly comfortable." The scrunchies are loved by GH analysts who say they don't leave dents in their hair, even after wearing them all day long. One analyst who regularly uses Blissy's scrunchies shared that the silk loses some of its shine over time but the material still feels just as luxe. If you have thinner hair, opt for the skinny scrunchies, which provide better grip. On the other hand, if you have super thick or curly hair, consider choosing the brand's oversized option that will stretch over all of your strands.

For a more affordable set, try luxury-for-less retailer Quince. This three-pack of real Mulberry silk scrunchies is priced at just $20 — a total steal. When we tested silk from Quince in the Textiles Lab, we were impressed with how well the fabric held up in the wash with no visible signs of wear or change in color. Plus, the material felt "buttery soft" both before and after laundering. A few online reviewers shared that the elastic band inside the scrunchies is a little loose, so they couldn't wear the scrunchies on their wrists, but the brand offers a 365-day return policy for the unworn scrunchies if you think they might be too large.

Thinner scrunchies combine the smoothing benefits of silk with a stronger grip to help keep your hair in place, and because they're thin, they're also a great option for people with finer or shorter hair. Some GH Analysts note that if you use these on thicker hair, they can stretch out and lose their elasticity over time. Still, our pros found that these scrunchies prevent creases in their hair and are comfortable to wear on their wrists all day long. A GH Seal holder, Fisher's Finery uses the same high-quality 25 momme silk fabric for both its top-tested silk pillowcases and its hair ties.

As a cost-effective alternative to genuine silk, consider a synthetic satin scrunchie made of polyester. Polyester satin is typically more affordable and durable than silk and still easily glides through hair. This five-pack satin set is a popular pick on Amazon even though it's not made with genuine silk. With more than 26,000 five-star reviews, the scrunchies are a favorite of users who love that they don't pull out or damage their hair, and they're a favorite of Mutchler who shared that these satin scrunchies are her "go-to." She keeps them stocked at her salon and recommends them to her guests. She said, "They last so long without stretching out," and emphasized that the scrunchies "still look brand new" after months of regular use.

Brooklinen scrunchies are loved by GH experts, including one Textiles Lab analyst with curly hair who says they're the perfect scrunchies to wear to bed. They're made with high-quality 22 momme Mulberry silk, which is super smooth and durable and will help to prevent your hair from denting and frizzing overnight. You can even match your silk scrunchies to Brooklinen's silk pillowcase and eye mask, two of our top-tested silk products, for a complete bedtime set. When we shared the scrunchies with our consumer testers, they gave them perfect scores for feeling smooth, but during our Textiles Lab evaluations, we noticed that the silky smooth feel faded some with repeated laundering.

One of the most popular silk brands online, LilySilk offers a mixed pack of 100% silk scrunchies, which allows you to try four different sizes at once and better accommodates a variety of hairstyles and hair types. When we tested the brand's silk material in our Textiles Lab, it wasn't as durable as other silks we evaluated, but it still performed well overall and was a favorite of our consumer testers who rated it highly for feeling smooth and comfortable. According to online reviewers, the scrunchies feel secure and stay in place all day without damaging hair. We love that you can choose from a variety of colors and print options, including this watercolor design. The brand carries individual scrunchies and other multi-packs in even more fun colors and patterns.

If you have thinner, finer hair, Slip offers a 12-pack of mini scrunchies in a variety of colors that you won't have to loop over and over again. Mini scrunchies have a stronger grip and can be used to create more intricate hairstyles, but they're great for everyday ponytails too. Our testers rated Slip's silk pillowcases as the smoothest, and the brand's scrunchies are made of the same soft material. According to one of our editors who has tried Slip scrunchies, the material is nice and smooth, but the elastic inside stretched out and lost its elasticity quicker than she expected. If you have thicker hair or prefer a larger scrunchie, the brand carries a variety of scrunchies in several sizes and color combinations.

This oversized scrunchie from haircare brand Crown Affair is a favorite of users with thick, curly hair because there's plenty of scrunchie to wrap around all of your strands, and it makes a big statement. Online reviewers say they love wearing this scrunchie everywhere, from work to bed. The scrunchie is made in the USA of 100% silk material, and there are smaller sizes available, but you can only choose between sage green and black. According to online reviewers, the scrunchies maintain their stretch with regular use, so they stay in great shape for you to wear again and again.

Silk Maison's scrunchies offer the best of fashion and function. The scrunchies are made of 100% high-grade Mulberry silk, come in unique patterns and have a finished trim for a bit of added flare around the edges. Online reviewers love the variety of colors and patterns available — there are 11 trendy styles to pick from. They also note that the scrunchies feel high quality and don't tug on hair like traditional hair ties. Instead, they slide through hair easily without tangling. According to the brand's website, shipping can take up to 15 days and is costly compared to other brands, so it adds to the already hefty price tag for the single scrunchie.

Most silk scrunchies are available in basic neutrals, but Silke London offers a variety of jewel tones for you to pick from. Thin scrunchies provide a stronger grip than thicker silk scrunchies, which makes this pick strong enough to wear to the gym and stylish enough to wear out with friends. The six-pack of 22 momme silk scrunchies is loved by online reviewers who say they're a great pick for people with fine hair and that they don't leave behind annoying dents. Online reviewers do warn that the bold colors might bleed when wet, so it's best to not use these right out of the shower.
