What Is That Dent Doing to Your Hair?

You take your hair down, run your fingers through it and there it is, that tell-tale dent where your hair tie has been sitting.

But have you ever stopped to think about what that dent is actually telling you?

A visible crease in your hair means your hair has been held tightly in one position for a period of time. And while the dent itself might seem harmless, the bigger concern is what’s happening to your strands every time you tie your hair up.

Traditional hair ties often have elastic, rough materials or tight seams that grip onto the hair. When you pull them tight, they can create friction and tension against the hair shaft. Repeatedly putting your hair up and taking it down this way can contribute to unnecessary pulling, snagging and breakage over time, particularly if you’re constantly tying your hair in the same place.

So, what if your hair tie could be gentler?  Enter the silk scrunchie.

Made from 100% Mulberry Silk, our Silk Scrunchies are designed to be soft and gentle on your hair. Rather than gripping your strands with rough elastic or creating the same level of friction, the smooth silk glides over the hair, helping to minimise tugging and snagging when you tie your hair up or take it down.

And yes, that means you can still have your favourite ponytail or messy bun without treating your hair like it needs to be held in place at all costs.

The difference can be especially noticeable when you take your hair down. Instead of that deep, stubborn dent, silk helps create a softer, more comfortable hold that is kinder to your strands.  Healthy hair isn't just about what you put on it, it's also about the little things you do every day.

So next time you take out your hair tie and see that dent, maybe it's time to ask yourself: is your hair tie doing more than just holding your hair up?

A small switch to silk could be a much gentler way to tie your hair.  Your hair will thank you for it.
