Scrunchie
A scrunchie (or scrunchy) is a fabric-covered elastic hair tie used to fasten medium to long hair types. Large, elaborate styles and diminutive, unassuming forms are available in many different colors, fabrics, and designs. History The scrunchie was patented in 1987 by Rommy Hunt Revson. She created the first prototype of the scrunchie because she wanted a gentler version of the metal hair ties used in the 1980s. Revson named the decorative hair accessory the Scunci after her pet toy poodle. The name ''scrunchie'' was a natural evolution, because the fabric scrunched up. After patenting the scrunchie, Revson spent most of her time in legal disputes, both with manufacturers and her own lawyers. Scrunchies were particularly popular in the 1980s and 1990s, including larger, more elaborate versions. Scrunchies regained popularity in the mid 2010s.Heather Schwedel"Fight to the Decades: Are We Experiencing an ’80s or ’90s Comeback?" ''Flavorwire'', August 25, 2009. Popularity R ...

The invention, originally known as the "Scunci", was named after Revson's pet poodle. It later became known generically as the scrunchie. Revson began a ...

Hair Tie
A hair tie (also called a ponytail holder, hair band, hair elastic, wrap around, gogo, or bobble) is an item used to fasten hair, particularly long hair, away from areas such as the face. This is usually done as part of a hairstyle such as pigtails, bunches, or ponytails for straight, wavy, and loosely curled hair, and referred to as afro puffs, bunny tails, and "pineapples" for highly curled and highly textured natural hair. Two common types of hair tie are the scrunchie and the elastic. The term can also include a fixed tie or rubber band which is placed ''through'' or around strands to hold specific parts of hair together, rather than tie it or clasp together like a hair clip. Hair ties' elasticity and durability vary according to the material or materials from which they are made. History Hair ties have likely been in use for thousands of years. In the 18th century wigs used a "queue" or "tail", consisting of a leather strap or small bag, to hold the wig together and su ...
