Homemade Retro Scrunchies

These DIY Hair Ties add a Vintage Flare to Your Hairstyle of Choice

With the fashion community seeing a revival in 90s fashion, these homemade scrunchy hair ties are a great way to add some color and volume to your hairstyles. These scrunchies are incredibly easy to make and can easily be customized to match all sorts of outfits.

Scrunchies are an ideal hair tie choice because they don't leave kinks or marks in the hair, making them ideal to use when you want to get those locks out of your face. These scrunchies are made simply by picking out a fabric you like, creating a closed donut shape and threading an elastic through the inside to cinch the material. You can then use the scrunchy to create all sorts of 90s looks from top knots to elegant braids.
