Death to Scrunchies!
I find it hard to believe that there are still scrunchie wearers in the world, unless they have all arrived here via time machine direct from 1991. Better option--wayyyy better option--is Knotheads.

I will admit it took me some time to come around on these no-pull, pipecleaner-esque hair accesories, but that may be more a matter of my utter spazziness than any sort of product flaw. The long ones are a most excellent solution for getting long hair off your neck without resorting to ponytails, and the 4-inch ones can stand in for barrettes or elastics. Check the site for so plenty of cute possibilities.

Admittedly Knotheads are not the best for my three year-old who inherited her daddy's ultra-thin hair, but for girls or moms with a lot going on up top, you'll probably have a blast playing around with these.

My only disappointment: One of the how-to tips promised me buns of steel. Pity, they were only talking about my hair. -Liz
