These are oversized scrunchies made from 22 momme 6A grade mulberry silk, sized much larger than a standard scrunchie and stretching to about 13 inches so they can wrap thick, curly, and coily hair without cutting into it. Silk matters here for a specific reason: cotton and elastic drag on the hair cuticle and cause frizz and breakage at the tie point, while silk slides. The elastic is strong enough to actually hold a heavy ponytail rather than sagging out by noon, and the fabric is OEKO-TEX certified. The leopard print reads as an accessory rather than a hair tie you are hiding. Best fit: thick or curly hair that snaps thin elastics, and anyone sleeping in a loose pineapple.
Pros
- 22 momme mulberry silk slides on the cuticle instead of dragging, which is what prevents breakage at the tie point
- Stretches to 13 inches, so it wraps genuinely thick and curly hair without strangling it
- Elastic is strong enough to hold a heavy ponytail through a day rather than sagging
- OEKO-TEX certified, so no finishing chemicals sitting against your scalp
Cons
- Real mulberry silk costs a lot more per scrunchie than satin, and satin looks nearly identical in a photo
Frequently asked questions
Is this real silk or satin?
Real 6A grade 22 momme mulberry silk. Satin is a weave that can be made from polyester, and it does not have the same moisture and friction behavior against hair.
Will it hold very thick hair?
That is the reason for the oversized design. It stretches to about 13 inches, which is meant for thick, curly, and coily hair that snaps standard elastics.
Can you sleep in it?
Yes, that is a common use. Silk is the standard recommendation for overnight ties because it does not crease or snag the way cotton does.
How do you wash them?
Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent and air dry. Machine washing and heat will damage the silk fibers over time.
