Silk hair scrunchies have surprisingly incredible benefits for the hair in comparison to a traditional hair tie. Why should you make the switch? Protection: in simple terms, silk reduces friction. This means that you are less likely to wake up with a bad case of bed head if you were to have a silk scrunchie in your hair while you sleep. Not only is it frustrating to have to fix your head full of tangles, it is also quite damaging to your hair as it causes breakage, knots and split ends. You will immediately feel and see the difference once you start wearing a silk scrunchie to sleep instead of a traditional hair tie. Your hair will thank you later! Hypoallergenic and eco-friendly: silk fibres are coated with a protein known as sericin. Sericin repels dust mites which are a major source of allergic irritation. This protein also makes silk resistant to mold, fungus and bacteria. Silk products are eco-friendly due to it being a pure natural material which is 100% biodegradable. Because of this, there are no plastic particles being dumped into the ocean during the production process (save the turtles)! Decreases frizz and hair tie creases: traditional hair ties cause friction due to the materials used which increases the look frizzy hair. Silk scrunchies eliminate friction which means your hair will no longer appear frizzy! You will also no longer have to worry about that awful hair tie crease in your hair after you remove your hair tie if you make the switch to silk.
