My name’s Nikki. And I’m a scrunchie-aholic. I am guilty of wearing a scrunchie on a near-daily basis. Even with my hair super short now (chin length) I still pull part of it up when I’m at home doing dishes, changing diapers, whatever. It’s too thick even with it thinned out and I get too darn sweaty in this California weather to leave it down. I do style it nice for church though. :P

P.S. When it gets long again, I’ll try your bun method that doesn’t require a scrunchie.

Well, now I know! Thanks for sharing! I had heard about the scruncii ban, but, not being a slave to fashion, I decided against joining the scruncii burning ceremony and let them instead, all die a natural death or get sucked into the vacuum! We did score a big bag of grown up hair pretties that includes fancy hairsticks at Target recently – apparently they bag up the Goodie cards that fall off the hang-up’s because of broken cards and put them all in a bag for $6! Keep and eye out for those and maybe you’ll score some fashionable hair sticks too!

Unfortunately my hair is too fine to make that work. It always falls out. However, I loved your video, you cracked me up about the scrunchie, and also the “SOMEBODY” dug in the yard with them. LOL Thanks for the tip.

You are so very funny. I laughed out loud. If you would have made me wake up my daughter, I would not like you any longer. Nah, I would still like you, but I would boycott any posts remotely funny. Nah, don’t believe that one either. :-)

My sweet husband got me a PACK of scrunchies for Christmas this year. I didn’t have the heart to tell him “I don’t do scrunchies anymore.” I have, however, informed him that I will pick out my own purses, sunglasses, and shoes, thank you! I think he gets it now. (I wear the scrunchies around the house, for him.)

That’s Great! Love it. Although my hair is so slippery no matter how long I have to use bobby pins or something to keep it up. I would love it if you would link up to my Tuesday’s Tips with this one! http://couponomicstimuluspackage.blogspot.com/2010/02/tuesdays-tip-how-to-get-out-of-debt.html

I’m in the too-fine-hair club, too. I always had to use pencils or chopsticks. But when my hair was super long it almost always ended up in a bun like that!

Great video Connie! My hair is obviously too short, but I could never put it in a bun when it was long because it is way too thick. I was always jealous of people with buns.

I love scrunchies, but my son destroyed all the ones I had. I don’t bother getting them anymore.

My name is Brenda. And I still like scrunchies.

See? I would have made that bun and then wrapped a scrunchie around it to keep it in place.

I’m just so wrong.

That is great! My hair is totally long enough and it’s quite thick but I can’t imagine it staying in place???? Does your hair really stay put like that?

@HeatherWawa, My hair is thick and wavy and it really does stay that way most of the day. Occasionally it will come down and I’ll have to redo it.

I’m with @HeatherWawa. My hair is long AND thick, and I can’t get it to stay, pencil or not (and I just spent 15 minutes trying).

Back to my ponytail. :(

Great video, though!

It took me a couple of tries to get mine to stay… I think what I did when it worked was that I stuck the end in the center rather than under the outside circle, if that makes any sense. I just kept trying because I couldn’t believe that my thick, curly hair would have more trouble holding than Smockity’s. I imagine it comes with practice.

That being said, mine doesn’t look as stylish on me as yours does, Smockity. :-)

Your video was great! I have thick wavy hair that will not stay knotted even when long so I put mine up with the help of small clips or Flexi 8’s. I however still use scrunciis even in public. I had no idea they were no longer in fashion – not that that would have stopped me anyway!!

Great tip and reminder – I have long, thick wavy hair that usually will stay for an hour or two without bobby pins – I use 2 large roller pins crossed in an X to get it to stay all day. I always end up out and about with my hair driving me nuts. I have to remember…I don’t _need_ the roller pins… just throw it in the bun like Smockity!
