Etymology
The term 'scrunchie' originated in the 1980s, as the style of hair accessories began to change and evolve. Initially, scrunchies were popular among teenagers and young adults who wanted a fashionable yet practical way to tie back their hair. The name likely derives from the verb 'scrunch,' which means to compress or gather together, reflecting the way a scrunchie gathers and holds hair. Though they fell out of favor in the early 2000s, scrunchies have made a significant comeback in today's fashion scene, often celebrated as a nostalgic accessory that also provides comfort and reduces hair damage.
