When you buy a handmade scrunchie from Sunki by Sunni, you get more than just a beautiful hair accessory – you’re investing in quality and unique designs made to last. To keep your scrunchie looking its best over time, it’s wise to take a few simple precautions. In this post, we’re sharing our best tips on how to care for your scrunchies so they maintain both color and shape for longer.
1. Wash gently
Although our scrunchies are made with durable, high-quality materials, washing them properly is essential to prevent wear. Follow these tips to keep them fresh and beautiful:
- Hand wash: Rinse the scrunchie in lukewarm water with a mild soap. Avoid strong detergents and high heat, as these can damage the fabric.
- Avoid the washing machine: To preserve the scrunchie’s shape and elasticity, we recommend avoiding machine washing. Even gentle wash cycles can cause the elastic to wear out faster.
2. Air dry your scrunchies
Proper drying is crucial to maintain the fabric and elasticity. Here are our best tips:
- Avoid the dryer: The dryer can cause the fabric to shrink and the elastic to lose resilience. Let the scrunchie air dry on a towel instead.
- Avoid direct sunlight: While sunlight is nice, direct exposure can cause colors to fade over time. Therefore, dry your scrunchies in the shade.
3. Use steam to restore fluffiness
If your scrunchie becomes a bit misshapen or flat, steam can be the solution:
- Use a steamer: Hold a handheld steamer near the scrunchie to bring back its fullness with the steam. Avoid direct contact with the hot surface.
- Steam from an iron: If you don’t have a steamer, steam from an iron can also work. Hold the iron slightly above the scrunchie without letting it touch the fabric.
4. Store them properly
Good storage helps your scrunchies keep their shape and avoid damage. Here are a few tips:
- Avoid tight spaces: When placing your scrunchie in a bag or makeup pouch, avoid packing it too tightly with other items to preserve both fabric and elastic.
- Hang them up: Do you have multiple scrunchies? Consider hanging them on a small stand or hook. This keeps them airy and helps maintain their shape.
5. Avoid high heat and chemicals
Scrunchies from Sunki by Sunni are made to last, but strong chemicals and heat can damage both the fabric and the elastic. Be cautious in these situations:
- Avoid hairspray and perfume: Use styling products before putting on your scrunchie so that it’s not exposed to chemicals that may weaken the materials.
- Be careful with heat styling tools: If you use a straightener or curling iron, ensure the scrunchie doesn’t come into contact with the heat, as this could damage or melt the fabric.
6. When is it time to replace your scrunchie?
Even with good care, a scrunchie will eventually show signs of wear. When the elastic loses its resilience or the fabric begins to fade, it may be time to switch to a new one. Sunki by Sunni regularly launches new collections, so you can always find fresh colors and designs to match both your style and the season.
