How to Use a Silky Smooth Scrunchie for Damage-Free Hair

Quick answer

Use a Silky Smooth Scrunchie by gathering hair loosely and wrapping the scrunchie twice — never more — to avoid tension and snagging.

Steps to use a Silky Smooth Scrunchie for damage-free hair

1. Step 1: Prepare your hair: Brush your hair thoroughly to remove tangles. Damp or dry hair works fine, but dry hair is easier to work with for a loose hold. Skipping this step can cause the scrunchie to catch on knots.
2. Step 2: Gather hair loosely: Use your hand to gather your hair into a low or mid ponytail. Do not pull tightly — keep the base relaxed to avoid tension on the scalp. A tight ponytail defeats the purpose of a damage-free scrunchie.
3. Step 3: Wrap the scrunchie twice: Slide the Silky Smooth Scrunchie over the ponytail and wrap it around the hair twice. Stop after two wraps to maintain a gentle hold without over-compressing the hair. More than two wraps can create indentations and stress the hair shaft.
4. Step 4: Adjust for comfort: Gently tug the scrunchie forward or backward to loosen any tight spots. The scrunchie should feel secure but not tight against your scalp. If it feels tight, redo the wrap with less tension.
5. Step 5: Remove carefully: To remove, slide the scrunchie down the ponytail rather than pulling it off. This prevents snagging and preserves the scrunchie's shape. Yanking the scrunchie off can cause breakage even with a gentle material.
