Dude. I thought my Day 8 had posted, but apparently it didn’t. But it has now. So anyways …
I’m going to go on record and say that I’m thankful for Scrunchies. If you are a girl who lived through the 90’s, then you SO know about Scrunchies. On Monday night we made the trek across town to get Korean food for dinner. It’s about a 45 minute drive, but man … it is SO worth it. On the way there I tried to re-adjust my ponytail … and wouldn’t you know it, my rubber band snapped, broke and I honestly still have no idea where it went.
And here’s the thing … my hair was GROSS. I hadn’t washed it the day before, which meant I had my hair pulled back in the same ponytail for 2 days. Well … almost 2 days. And any girl who has ever worn their hair in a ponytail for any amount of time, knows that when you take it out you have a big ‘bump’ where the rubber band was. And my hair isn’t super long … like it reaches my shoulders … so the ‘bump’ was SUPER noticeable and there was NO way for me to hide it. Top it off with my bangs awkwardly pinned back with bobbi-pins and I was rockin’ one sweet hairdo.
So today I bought a bunch of rubber bands and a set of mini scrunchies. I will be storing some in the car, in my diaper bag, and also in my purse. That way I will never have to worry about this scenario happening again. It’s not like I get all dolled up on a daily basis, but I guess I can be kind of vain like that … and let’s be honest, scrunchies were kinda the coolest hair accessory EVER back in the day … right?! So I say it’s time for a come back. Who’s with me?!
LOL!! I’m there! My hair is thick. Just got it whacked off recently. So mine’s the same length, i.e. totally have the bump too. I sleep with my hair pulled back in a ponytail, hate my hair in my face when I’m sleeping. So I have one sweet bed head when I wake up, plus the bump! I totally get that! and love my scrunchies!!!

Ooohhhh, not sure I can get behind a Scrunchies resurgence. Though maybe I’m just too scarred by the fact that I associate Scrunchies with my hair being permed. With sky high, teased to high heaven, hair-sprayed bangs…yeah, not my best look.
I happen to think you are fabulous…..but noooo, move away from the scrunchies. I have yet to see a cool picture of anyone rockin the scrunchie look. In fairness, Im also with Ramsey – scarred by permed hair and a learners guide to make up during the scrunchie era;)
Scrunchies always make me think of that Sex In the City episode….you know, where Carrie and Berger get in a big fight over him referencing a girl wearing a scrunchie in his book, and Carrie says a girl in NY City would never wear a scrunchie. lol! If you haven’t seen it, you need to Google it!
