20. The Scrunchie Statement High Ponytail
What This Idea Means
Fun, practical, and gentle on hair, the Scrunchie High Ponytail combines high-energy height with retro fabric accessories. Fabric scrunchies help reduce hair breakage and prevent unwanted elastic creases.
How to Make It
- Bend forward slightly and brush all hair smoothly up toward the high crown of your head.
- Secure the high ponytail firmly with a sturdy, snag-free hair elastic first to guarantee all-day hold.
- Take a fabric scrunchie—such as silk, velvet, cotton, or corduroy—and slip it over the base elastic.
- Twist the scrunchie twice so it sits snugly around the ponytail base.
- Tug the ponytail lightly from the sides to puff up the top volume and give the tail a lively bounce.
Tips and Variations
- Tips: Choose silk or satin scrunchies for delicate hair to prevent friction, snagging, and split ends during school days.
- Variations: Match your scrunchie fabric and pattern to your outfits, school colors, or seasonal trends (e.g., velvet for winter, pastel cotton for spring).
What You Need
