3. Silk Scrunchy

Scrunchies are a great way to dress up any sort of ponytail or bun look. The silk scrunchy is extra great though, because it takes away that tightness of regular hair elastics.

Turbands were meant for beach days and hot summer days! Not only is this look totally stylish, but like headscarves you can pile your hair up and away without any worry of it falling loose or getting in the way. If you go swimming with these, they’ll keep your hair out of your face so you can relax and focus on soaking up the sun, cooling off in the water, and all around staying relaxed.
