The Benefits of Silk Scrunchies

Q: Are silk scrunchies better for your hair?

Our smooth mulberry silk helps reduce friction, snagging and pulling, while carefully selected elasticity provides a comfortable hold. A gentler way to wear your hair up.

Q: Do silk scrunchies prevent hair breakage?

They help prevent the everyday breakage caused by hair ties catching and pulling individual strands. A scrunchie cannot prevent every form of hair breakage.

Q: Do silk scrunchies help with frizz?

Silk's smooth surface creates less unnecessary friction, which can help minimise frizz and flyaways, particularly on curly, dry or frizz-prone hair.

Q: Are silk scrunchies good for fine hair?

Yes. Our skinny silk scrunchies combine a slim shape with smooth mulberry silk, for a gentle hold that suits finer hair and smaller ponytails.Shop Skinny Silk Scrunchies

Q: Are silk scrunchies good for curly hair?

Yes. Silk is a smooth surface for curls, coils and waves. Larger scrunchies are useful for loose buns and overnight styles.

Q: Are silk scrunchies good for damaged or colour-treated hair?

They are an excellent choice when you want to handle vulnerable hair more gently. The silk-covered elastic helps reduce unnecessary snagging, pulling and friction during everyday styling.

Q: Can silk scrunchies reduce hair creases?

A silk scrunchie can help minimise the harsh dents associated with narrow, tight elastics because the fabric creates a softer and broader point of contact. Results depend on hair type, how tightly the hair is tied and how long it remains tied.

Q: Can you sleep with a silk scrunchie?

Yes. Use it for a loose ponytail, bun or braid. Avoid pulling the hair tight, particularly around the hairline.

Q: What is the difference between silk and satin scrunchies?

Silk is a fibre; satin is a weave that can be made from silk or other fibres, including polyester. Our scrunchies use 100% mulberry silk around the elastic core.

Q: What grade of silk does Silk Works use?

Grade 6A, 22 momme mulberry silk. Grade 6A is the highest recognised grade.

Beautiful hair deserves a gentler hold. Our 22 momme mulberry silk scrunchies help reduce snagging, breakage and frizz, with a smooth, soft finish that feels as good as it looks.

A gentler touch for your hair.

From your morning ponytail to the moment you let your hair down, your hair tie should feel comfortable. Our silk scrunchies hold your hair gently and slide away with less snagging and pulling.

The smooth surface of mulberry silk helps reduce friction against your hair. That means less snagging and pulling on delicate strands, helping to minimise everyday breakage and tangles.

Skinny scrunchie

The skinny scrunchie is amazing. So great for my curly hair. It doesn’t cause any breakage or knots.

Sian D
Scrunchies

It breaks off in every clip I try to use, or ties just get caught up and cause knots. These silk scrunchies cause no damage.

Belinda M

I have been buying Silk Works silk hair bands and pillow cases for a few years now, and I love them all.

The oversized silk scrunchie is kinder to your hair, as it reduces snagging and breakage, and it causes less kinking than a classic hair tie, too.

Our silk

The Silk Works standard

We work closely with our suppliers to bring together beautifully smooth, Grade 6A, 22 momme mulberry silk and carefully chosen elasticity. The balance matters: a secure, comfortable hold that remains gentle on your hair.

Our considered palette receives the same attention, from the selection of each shade to the richness and consistency of its colour. We only approve a scrunchie when we are completely satisfied with its feel, finish and quality. Every piece is individually checked before dispatch.

Not all silk is created equal. These soft, stretchy hair ties eliminate ponytail kinks and reduce snagging and breakage.

I've had this Silk Works London Large Silk Scrunchie in Ivory on my wrist or bundled up in my hair every single day for the last month. A new forever find.

I've found this amazingly soft silk scrunchy by Silk Works London that just slips off — it has reduced damage dramatically.

Overnight

Care for your hair while you sleep.

A loose silk scrunchie and a mulberry silk pillowcase make a thoughtful pairing for bedtime. Smooth silk around your hair and beneath your head helps reduce friction while you rest.

Keep your ponytail, bun or braid relaxed, with a comfortable hold and no pulling at the roots.
