It is such a joy for me to create our products for you. A large portion of that joy stems from the selection and purchase of beautiful fabrics that I believe you will love. Please know that our ultimate goal is to do our Best to provide you with the Best.

We currently have over 450 fabrics and that number is growing!

FINDINGS:

ELASTIC

We use ¾" non-roll,  ribbed Elastic on our Scrunchies. We have found that doing so, accommodates the thickest hair without sagging. You can lift that ponytail high, wrap it around a couple of times, add your JUMBO or Regular size Scrunchie and it will stay right where you put it. If your hair is on the thin side, or if the Scrunchie is for a child, you may order a narrower elastic if you choose. Please leave a notation if you would like the narrower elastic, at time of your order.

ABOUT: SCRUNCHIE STORAGE

One of our favorite ways to store our products is to gently line them up in a box with a lid, to prevent dust. You can either lay one on top of the other or stand them up like soldiers.  Another way, especially if you’d like to have your Scrunchies on display, is to use a Scrunchie Stand such as the type sold on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=scrunchie+stand&crid=35D15Y34J5NNT&sprefix=scrunchie+stand%2Caps%2C99&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
