Elastic ties are convenient for throwing your hair up into a ponytail, but they can create friction and tug on your strands, especially when they’re removed. This can lead to fragile strands, damaged hair and increased frizz. Silk and satin scrunchies, on the other hand, are soft and smooth to reduce friction on hair. Hairstylist and cosmetologist Becca Mutchler says silk scrunchies are less likely to cause damage because the fabric easily glides over hair, which can also help minimize frizz. Besides helping you reap the benefits of silk, these luxurious scrunchies are a more stylish alternative to standard hair ties and can elevate your look.
