Is the oversized scrunchie back? All about the 90s hair tie

Loved by It-girls, the oversized scrunchie adds texture, volume and a touch of colour to classic summer hairstyles. If you're looking for a new way to tie your hair or add a trendy twist to your classic bun, try the giant scrunchie: the 90s hair accessory none of us thought would be back in style in 2024.

At the beginning of the summer, the American model and It girl Bella Hadid appeared on the Croisette in Cannes with an oversized white scrunchie, combined with a smooth and hyper shiny chignon. As with any Bella Hadid look, the Internet quickly adopted this latest outfit, making the use of voluminous hair ties one of the summer's hair trends .

The Oversized Scrunchie and the Chignon

The most popular hairstyle that accompanies the oversized scrunchie trend is the classic bun . Since a sleek bun eliminates all the volume from the hair, often hiding the bun behind the profile of the head, introducing an oversized scrunchie can add more dimension to your look beyond the minimalist style. This hairstyle is also ideal for ultra-short bobs or similar hairstyles, as it helps draw attention away from any flyaway strands.

The Oversized Scrunchie and the Semi-gathered cut

If a smooth bun or full ponytail isn't the look you're after, you can incorporate the oversized scrunchie into that whole repertoire of hairstyles we call a half-up haircut. Whether used in place of the usual hair tie or other accessories, this is a cool way to breathe new life into a super classic look.

The Oversized Scrunchie and Braided Ponytail

To take your braided ponytail to the next level, just add a giant scrunchie. Adding it after braiding the ponytail or before, at the hairline, adds extra volume, colour and texture to the hairstyle, creating the perfect style for any summer occasion.

The Oversized Scrunchie and Ponytail

You can opt for a classic ponytail pulled back, leaving a few rebellious locks to frame your face, and simply add the giant scrunchie. A ponytail is an ultra-chic option and takes only a few extra seconds to complete. You start by pulling your hair back, smoothing any flyaways, applying hair oil, gel or wax, and running a brush or comb over your scalp to secure it all. While other hairstyles may not need extra support, putting on an oversized scrunchie helps keep the hairstyle going longer.
