I've always had fine hair, but it became even finer and sparser after having kids (and aging). I love these little hair bun pieces! They allow me to look like I have a nice sized bundle of hair when I tied it up. And they are so easy to use, especially with very fine hair. The ones with clips damage my hair, are super uncomfortable, and just plain fall out (you must need super thick hair for them, but if so why do you need them in the first place?).

How I apply: First I put my hair up using a long barette/hair clip, doubling it over into a bun. Then I put the scruncie over top of the outside of the barette. I don't have to double it up--it's the perfect size to stay tight on top of the barette. You need to use to use a long one for this purpose.

I just wish you could get something in this elastic style in the shape of a full ponytail, or at least with longer bun hair. I love them! Also the hair is nice and soft and looks real. I buy a new one every few months to keep it looking nice. For the price, it is affordable.

I have naturally curly hair-- some of it in big loops, most in ringlets, and far too many bits that go straight then zaggle at the end-- and it is an everlasting pain to make it look tidy. I have fond memories of a synthetic hair scrunchie I purchased from Sally's Beauty Supply that tamed my Hurricane Chic off and on for about a month before becoming bedraggled and unusable. I saw this item and got a new one, reasoning that the price was right and I could get a few good uses out of it before it too was consigned to the trash. These things seem to twist in on themselves and become a tangled mess.

Well! I was shocked to pull out the softest synthetic hair I've ever felt. It was curly enough to blend with mine and there was a big loop of it. I didn't really know what to do with this scrunchie since it looked too big for one loop around a ponytail and maybe too small to wrap double if you have really thick, curly hair. (It wraps double just fine!) For those who haven't worn one, this is a hairpiece, not a real scrunchie, and the elastic in it is sufficient to keep it wrapped around a pony or a bun but not strong enough to replace a hair elastic.

I ended up doing what another reviewer suggested and double-ponytailed my hair, pulling it into two close buns, and wrapped this around both. The buns looked like big loopy curls and fit right in. It worked really well! I was cooking all day long, the day before Christmas, and people passed through and told me how nice my hair looked. After hours of sweaty, hammy cooking, I was still getting compliments on my hair. That is a Christmas miracle. When I went to put up my hair the next day I knew the poor little thing would have a hangover and would be twisted like an Escher painting in the way only synthetic hair can twist, inside out and upside down and who knows, but I pulled it out anyway and regarded it critically. It beamed at me like a curly tribble. I soothed it with a brush in case it was rabid. It needed no soothing. It wasn't tangled or twirled or a wormhole or rabid so I tossed it back on. I got more compliments. A ponytail and a scrunchie -- there couldn't be a simpler way to class up my look.

My only quibble (heh, tribble quibble) is that the color isn't spot on. The color level was right but the shade was just a hair off. It's a little false somehow. This seems to be a pretty common complaint with this hairpiece and it's not noticeable enough to keep me from wearing it. I'd give it four and a half stars if I could, but since I have to round and my experiences have been uniformly positive, I'm rounding up. I will be buying from this manufacturer again.

The good:
Each of the scrunchies was soft, fluffy and appeared like natural hair (no chemical feel)
A good buy for the price if you can find the right color
The return process was quick and painless, I received a full refund and they did not charge for shipping. Go ahead and try this because if you can get the right color this is a steal.

The bad: (I've tried to get close with a color of hair dye that's similar, but these are not perfect just close (L'oreal)
Light Brown 103= Natural Blonde 16 = Dark Blonde 22A (UL51 HI-lift Natural Brown, an Ash Brown but with warmer notes)-each shade is exactly the same
Light Brown 10A= Light Brown 12 (8A Ash Blonde, about the color of uncooked spaghetti)-each shade is exactly the same
(also would be nice if the labels in the photos matched up with the color labels that you order)
I've posted several pictures with all of these in bright sunlight and one photo of them all in the shade with attached labels and the labels from the bags they were wrapped in for shipping. I hope this helps.

Love it! All my buns and pony's from pretty shop are all very good quality and a perfect color match. This scrunchie bun is very full and thick. I wrap it twice around my own ponytail and then take a wide tooth comb to style it over and around my hair. I get so many compliments on it.

I originally purchased the 25H101 Blonde Mix and it was too light. The photo looked like it had some dark ashy tones in it, but it is actually very light throughout. It also shed some strands while I was examining it...So I hope that was a fluke as I really liked the look of it. I have ashy brown with very blonde hilights (not golden or red at all) and the 12H88 blended perfectly. My hair is growing out and is still short (2" ponytail) with short hair at the neckline still and I was able to make this work with claw clip & bobby pins. Really fun to have instant hair.
