Questions about this piece
Do satin scrunchies really stop creases in your hair?
Mostly, yes. Satin has a smooth, low-friction surface, so hair slides against it instead of gripping and folding the way it does on a cotton band or a rubber elastic, and that fold is what leaves the dent. If you wear a tight ponytail all day you will still get a soft bend, but it brushes out instead of needing to be wet down. These are satin, which makes them the ones to reach for on a day you plan to take your hair down later.
How do you keep a scrunchie from sliding out of fine hair?
Twist the ponytail once before you wrap, and wrap one turn fewer than feels right, because an over-stretched scrunchie gives up its grip within the hour. On fine hair a smaller scrunchie actually holds better than a big one, since there is less fabric bulk working against a small amount of hair. A petite size like this sits closer to the hair and has less to slip down.
How small is an ultra petite scrunchie, and what is it good for?
These are the slim, ruched kind rather than the big puffy ones, and that changes what you can do with them. A narrow band tucks into a half-up twist instead of sitting on top of it like an ornament, and it will go under a hat or a hood without leaving a lump at the back of your head. It is also the size that lies flat on your wrist between uses. The fabric is satin.
