Discover the look taking over your social media feed and see all of the best ways to style the It girl hair accessory of the summer.
From elegant gingham to delicate lace to sleek silk, all of your favorite celebrity style icons, fashion influencers, and It girls are rocking oversized scrunchies this year.
Although the Internet claimed slickbacks were on their way out as a trending hairstyle this season, the jumbo scrunchie, as many have dubbed it, has almost singlehandedly revitalized the look. Adding texture, volume, and in many cases, a welcome splash of color, the oversized scrunchie offers a new twist on a multitude of classic hairstyles.
Earlier this season, model and avowed It girl Bella Hadid stepped out in a dreamy white oversized scrunchie, topping off a sleek, shiny bun hairstyle. As with nearly every style Hadid dons, the Internet was quick to follow suit, finishing off their own hairstyles with voluminous hair ties.
If you're looking for a way to tame your cropped bob, tie up your long locks, or add a new trendy touch to your classic slicked-back bun, reach for the jumbo scrunchie—the hair accessory none of us thought would make a comeback in 2024.
Curious to know how to rock the look? Join L'OFFICIEL as we dive into all of the hottest ways to style an oversized scrunchie for 2024.
Oversized Scrunchie Hair Trend: Slicked-Back Bun
Overwhelmingly, the most popular hairstyle accompanying the oversized scrunchie trend is a classic bun, often slicked back at the base of the head. Because a slicked-back bun removes all of the volume from your hair, often concealing the bun itself behind the silhouette of your head, introducing a jumbo scrunchie to the look can help add a little bit more dimension to your hair look, elevating it beyond the pared-back style.
This style is also ideal for ultra-cropped bobs and similar short hairstyles, as it helps draw attention away from any stray hairs or lingering wispy strands that may be sticking out of a traditional bun.
Oversized Scrunchie Hair Trend: Half-Up Half-Down
If a slick-back or full-on ponytail isn't for you, incorporate the oversized scrunchie into your hairstyle repertoire with a half-up half-down hairstyle. Whether you use it in place of your typical hair tie or opt for a relaxed, easy-going look with the scrunchie alone, this is a surefire way to introduce a new twist on a classic look into all of your summer outfits.
Oversized Scrunchie Hair Trend: Braided Ponytail
If you're looking to elevate your braided ponytail to the next level, opt to add a jumbo scrunchie. Whether you finish your pony off by slipping a scrunchie on after braiding, or putting it on prior, this style adds extra volume, color, and texture to your hairstyle, resulting in the perfect summer hairstyle for any occasion.
Oversized Scrunchie Hair Trend: Ponytail
No matter your hair texture or length, chances are your newest lazy day hairstyle is just around the corner. For the ultimate oversized scrunchie ponytail, opt for a typical ponytail pulled back, leaving a few strands of wispy hair to frame your face, and simply slide on the jumbo scrunchie.
A slicked-back ponytail is also an ultra-chic option and requires just a few extra seconds to complete. Begin by pulling your hair back into a ponytail, smoothing out any bumps or stray hairs, applying your favorite hair oil, gel, or holding wax, and running a brush or comb through your scalp to lock in the style. While other styles may not need the extra support, putting a trusty hair tie on ahead of your oversized scrunchie helps the style stay in place longer.
