Scrunchie

Scrunchie

A scrunchie (or scrunchy) is a fabric-covered elastic hair tie, commonly used to fasten long hair. Large, elaborate styles and diminutive, unassuming forms are available.

The scrunchie was invented by Rommy Revson, who patented the design in 1994. [cite patent|US|5301696]

Variations

The scrunchie comes in many different varieties of colors, fabrics, sizes, and designs.
