How Do I Get the Right Scrunchie for Me?

Hey Cutie!

Sick of those mornings when your hair simply refuses to behave? Or perhaps you're running late but desire to be flawlessly dressed at the same time? We've all experienced it. This is where the magic of a hair scrunchie kicks in—the one that creates you a flawless, bouncy messy bun in a snap!.

This isn't just an accessory; it’s your secret weapon for those perfect, no-effort updos. Let's dive even deeper into how to find the ideal one for you!


 The Golden Rule: Your Color Match is Everything

  • A messy bun scrunchie is designed to blend seamlessly with your own hair. The most critical step in finding the right one is achieving a flawless color match.
  • Examine the Ends of Your Hair: Rather than attempting to match your roots, which may be another color, look at your hair color from the middle of your head to the ends. 
  • This is where the scrunchie will rest, and matching perfectly here guarantees a natural, invisible merge.
  • Use Natural Light: Always test the color of the scrunchie under natural light, since artificial lighting may distort colors. A sunlight test will reveal the actual tone, along with any highlights or lowlights that you may have.
  • Consider a "Rooted" Look: If your hair has a darker root color with lighter ends (a common style), look for a scrunchie with a "rooted" effect. This subtle color variation will mimic your own hair's depth and make the blend completely flawless.
  • Don't Be Afraid to Ask For Help: If in doubt, have a look at the brand's color charts online or, better still, ask a stylist. Most online retailers, including Gulhair, provide color-matching help so you can get the right hair for you.

 Why 100% Human Hair? The Ultimate Investment

  • When you go out to buy a hair scrunchie, you'll find that there are synthetic fiber and actual human hair scrunchies available. Although synthetic scrunchies might be cheaper, a human hair scrunchie is an investment well worth making.
  • Natural Feel & Movement: Human hair moves, sways, and feels exactly like your own. It will not have that stiff shine many times present in synthetic hair. This way, your messy bun will look amazingly realistic.
  •  Styling Versatility: You can style a human hair scrunchie with heat tools, the same as you would your own hair. Need a few extra curls to enhance your beachy waves? Do it! Need to straighten for a smooth bun? You can do that as well.
  •  Color & Longevity: Your human hair can be professionally colored to your precise color if necessary, and it will endure for years with the right maintenance. Its longevity makes it a long-term hair solution for flawless hair days.

 Effortless & Secure Attachment: Your Step-by-Step Guide

The best thing about this product is how easy it is. You can achieve a flawless updo in under one minute, without using a single bobby pin.

1.  Prep Your Hair: Begin by ponying up your hair at the height that you prefer (high, low, or center). Simply use a standard hair tie to hold it back. This provides you with a firm foundation to work with.

2.  Make Your Bun: Wrap your ponytail into a tiny, tight bun. Don't worry if it isn't exactly perfect because the scrunchie will hide it. As an added security measure on thin hair, you can use a second hair tie here.

3.  Secure the Scrunchie: Press the scrunchie firmly and wrap it around your bun. The elastic bottom will give a firm, secure grip. For extra volume, you can wrap it again and allow the strands to fall naturally.

4.  Final Touches: Gently tug and tease the scrunchie hair to set the strands in place and get the optimal level of volume and messiness. You can use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to softly integrate your own hair into the scrunchie.


Beyond the Bun: Other Styling Tips

  • Your new hair scrunchie is even more versatile than you realize! Think outside the box with these other fun styling concepts:
  •  Chic Top Knot: To add a bit of height, make a bun at the crown of your head and wrap the scrunchie around it. The extra volume will create a gorgeous, dramatic top knot.
  •  Side Bun: Place your bun at the nape of your neck and to one side for a beautiful, asymmetrical look that is ideal for a night on the town.
  •  Accessorize Braids: You can even utilize the scrunchie at the end of a long braid to add a little volume and pizzazz.


Care & Longevity: A Little Love Goes a Long Way

As the Gulhair messy bun scrunchies are created with high-quality human hair, they are as durable and lovely as your own locks, only to need a little love to remain so.

  •  Washing: For washing, hand-wash the scrunchie in cool water with a sulfate-free shampoo. Carefully rinse and use a little conditioner to keep the hair silky.
  •  Drying: Squeeze out excess water carefully with a towel and air dry fully on a flat surface or a wig block. Never use a blow dryer, as it will burn the hair.
  •  Detangling: Detangle from the ends always with a wide-tooth comb, similar to your own hair. Handle gently to avoid shedding.
  •  Storage: Store it in a clean, cool, dry environment when not in use, out of direct sunlight, to preserve its form and quality.

Discovering the ideal messy bun scrunchie is a quick fix to achieve that flawless, effortless look in just minutes. It's a confidence boost and complete lifesaver for those hectic days.
