These exquisite, large-size, handmade silk scrunchies are made from naturally dyed and eco printed pure habotai 10 silk and stitched with silk thread. Organic cotton-covered synthetic-free elastic, from responsibly sourced natural rubber, has been used in the inside. The absence of synthetic fibres helps to reduce frizz and benefits the environment by being completely biodegradable. Natural rubber has a longer lifespan than synthetic elastic which is prone to perishing, so this product will last!
Currently available Silver Grey and Avocado Pink.
Their size is approximately 12cm in length (4 and ¾ inches), 4cm wide (1 ½ inches) and 26cm at full stretch (10 and ¼ inches).
There are many benefits to wearing these scrunchies; not only are they a trendy, retro throwback to the 80s but silk is less damaging to your hair. Silk helps hair to retain moisture which reduces dryness and breakages. Additionally, silk reduces friction over your hair due to its smooth texture so can be taken out more easily helping to decrease static and tangles. These silk scrunchies can be left comfortably in your hair while you sleep and do not dent your hair. Combined with the beauty and environmental benefits of natural dyeing and eco printing these scrunchies are wonderful for you and kind to the environment.
Eco-printing is a technique where leaves from specific trees and plants are arranged on material and with the application of natural solutions, heat and moisture the tannins and pigments in the leaves produce beautiful prints onto the fabric. It is a natural process, and no harmful dyes are discarded into the environment. Subtle embossed effects of leaves and tiny creases are an additional feature of this technique.
I have tried to give a true representation of the colour of the scrunchies, but they might vary on the different devices used to view them.
My products are all original designs, but because I sometimes print my fabrics in batches there might be similarities in colour between items. However, I can guarantee that all my designs are unique and will never be identical.
I aim to make my products as environmentally friendly as possible by using natural dyeing techniques and fabrics, minimising waste material and packaging, and recycling and upcycling where possible.
