The holidays fill the calendar fast: an office party, a night out with friends, a slow Christmas morning in pajamas. Your hair does not need a new plan for every one of them. A single scrunchie, chosen well, can carry a look from desk to dinner. This season we are leaning into two easy ideas: rich jewel tones like burgundy, emerald and red, and one statement accessory per look. Let the scrunchie be the detail people notice, and keep everything else simple.
Every scrunchie in our Hair Accessories collection is made from recycled fabric certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and each one comes with a removable bow, so you get two styles in one. Here are six looks to try.
1. The Office Holiday Party: A Sleek Low Bun
A polished low bun is the quiet showstopper of party season. It works with a tailored blazer, a satin blouse or a simple black dress, and it looks neat and intentional from the first toast to the last goodbye.
The pick: the Burgundy Scrunchie or the Emerald Green Scrunchie, both $14.99. Deep jewel tones read as elegant rather than loud, and they pair beautifully with gold or pearl earrings.
How to style it: Smooth your hair back into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Twist the length, coil it into a bun, and wrap the scrunchie around the base. Leave the bow on for a festive touch, or slip it off for a more minimal look.
Haircare pairing: For a smoother finish, mist the lengths with our Keratin Shine Leave-In Hair Mist ($21.99) before you style. This lightweight leave-in is made with hydrolyzed keratin and helps reduce the appearance of frizz and boost shine, without weighing hair down.
2. Christmas Morning: The Cozy Messy Bun
Christmas morning calls for comfort: soft pajamas, a warm mug and hair that is effortlessly out of the way while you open gifts. A loose, slightly undone bun looks relaxed in photos and takes less than a minute.
The pick: the Candy Cane Stripe Scrunchie or the Christmas Cookie Scrunchie, both $16.99. Both are cheerful prints that make an easy holiday statement.
How to style it: Flip your head forward, gather your hair loosely at the crown, and wrap it into a bun without pulling it tight. Secure it with the scrunchie and pull out a few face-framing pieces.
3. Holiday Party Night: The High Pony
When the invitation says festive, a high ponytail is a confident choice. It lifts the whole look, shows off statement earrings and moves well on the dance floor.
The pick: the Pink Peppermint Christmas Scrunchie ($16.99) for a playful, sparkly mood, or the Black and White Polka Dot Scrunchie ($16.99) for a retro, polished look with a classic red lip.
How to style it: Brush your hair up to the crown and secure it with a basic elastic first if your hair is heavy. Then wrap the scrunchie over the top so the bow sits at the back. Keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the scrunchie be your one statement piece.
4. Curly Pineapple or Half-Up Curls
Curls deserve a holiday look that celebrates their shape. A loose pineapple at the top of the head, or a half-up style with the rest of your curls left free, shows off texture beautifully and works for both daytime gatherings and evening plans.
The pick: the Red Polka Dot Scrunchie ($16.99) or the Emerald Green Scrunchie ($14.99). A bright red or deep green looks striking against curls of every color.
How to style it: For a pineapple, flip your head forward and gather your curls loosely at the very top of your head. Wrap the scrunchie once or twice, just enough to hold. For half-up curls, gather the top section only and secure it at the crown.
Haircare pairing: Before you style, spray our Anti-Frizz Curly Hair Texture Mist ($16.99) onto damp or dry hair and gently scrunch upward. It is a lightweight styling mist made with hydrolyzed rice protein and aloe vera that helps define curls and smooth the appearance of frizz without a stiff, crunchy feel. It is also handy for refreshing curls between wash days.
5. Winter Weekend: Knits and a Low Pony
Weekend plans in December mean chunky sweaters, long coats and errands that turn into lunch. A low ponytail or a loose braid tied with a warm, rich scrunchie feels right at home with cozy textures.
The pick: the Leopard Print Scrunchie ($16.99) or the Chocolate Brown Scrunchie ($14.99). Leopard is a timeless neutral with personality, and chocolate brown pairs with cream, camel and gray knits.
How to style it: Gather your hair loosely at the nape or braid it to one side, then finish with the scrunchie. Slip the bow off if you prefer a more pared-back look under a scarf.
6. Gift-Wrapping Season: Matching Sets and Stocking Stuffers
Scrunchies make lovely small gifts, and they are even sweeter in pairs. Choose matching or coordinating colors for a mother and daughter, sisters or best friends, or tuck them into bridesmaid boxes for a winter wedding.
The pick: the Sakura Pink Scrunchie and the Pink Blush Scrunchie, both $14.99. Soft pinks are gentle, elegant and easy to wear with almost anything.
Gift idea: Pair a scrunchie with one of the haircare favorites above for a thoughtful, practical present. It fits easily into a stocking, a gift bag or a holiday card envelope.
