1. The Effortless Low Ponytail (Perfect for Work & Errands)

This is the most classic everyday look—simple, polished, and never out of style. It works for the office, grocery runs, or dropping the kids off at school, and it’s easy to pull off in 30 seconds flat.

How to style it:

• Gather your hair at the nape of your neck—keep it loose, not too tight (you don’t want to pull on your scalp!).

• Wrap your NanaTutu oversized scrunchie around the ponytail 2-3 times. Leave a little volume at the top of your head for a relaxed, not flat, look.

• Pull a few face-framing strands loose around your temples and cheeks to soften the look—this adds a casual, effortless vibe.

Pro tip: Pair this with our Classic White Moon Pure Cotton Hollow Lace Oversized Scrunchie for a clean, minimalist look that goes with blouses, sweaters, or even casual tees. The soft cotton lace adds a subtle elegance without being too fancy.

2. The Messy Bun (For Lazy Mornings & Casual Days)

We all have those mornings where we hit snooze one too many times—and the messy bun is here to save the day. It’s chic, low-maintenance, and looks intentional, even when you’re in a hurry. This look is perfect for weekends, coffee dates, or days 

working from home.

How to style it:

• Gather your hair into a high or low ponytail (whichever is more comfortable) and twist it loosely into a bun.

• Wrap your oversized scrunchie around the bun 2 times—don’t pull it too tight! The goal is a messy, undone look, so let a few pieces of hair fall out around the bun and nape of your neck.

• Fluff the bun a little with your fingers to add volume—this makes it look more polished and less “I just rolled out of bed.”

Pro tip: Try our Hydrangea Christmas New Year Red Scrunchie for a pop of color, even on lazy days. The bold red adds a fun, festive touch (perfect for holiday season or just adding a little cheer to your outfit) and pairs great with jeans and a hoodie or a casual dress.

3. Half-Up Half-Down (For Volume & Flair)

If you want to keep your hair out of your face but still show off your length, the half-up half-down look is ideal. It’s versatile, works for all hair lengths, and adds a cute, feminine touch to any outfit—from casual to slightly dressy.

How to style it:

• Take the top section of your hair (from your temples to the crown of your head) and gather it into a small ponytail.

• Wrap your NanaTutu oversized scrunchie around the small ponytail 2 times—this will hold it in place without flattening your hair.

• For extra volume, tease the top section a little before wrapping the scrunchie—this adds height and makes the look more dramatic (but still everyday-friendly).

Pro tip: Our TUTU Black Checked Scrunchie is perfect for this look—it’s classic, trendy, and goes with everything from stripes to solids. The black check adds a subtle pattern that elevates the look without being too loud.

4. The Low Bun (Elegant & Professional)

If you need a look that’s a little more polished (for meetings, interviews, or fancy lunches), the low bun is the way to go. It’s sophisticated, keeps your hair neat, and the oversized scrunchie adds a touch of warmth so it doesn’t feel too stiff.

How to style it:

• Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it tightly into a low bun (tighter than the messy bun, but still comfortable).

• Wrap your oversized scrunchie around the bun 3 times to keep it secure—make sure it’s not too loose, so the bun doesn’t fall out during the day.

• Smooth down any flyaways with a little hairspray or a boar bristle brush for a sleek finish.

Pro tip: Opt for our Deep-Sea Bubble Souffle Scrunchie for this look—the soft, textured fabric adds a subtle luxury that’s perfect for professional settings. It’s neutral enough to pair with blazers and dresses, but still has a unique look that sets it apart.

5. The “Just Woke Up” Waves (With a Scrunchie Accent)

If you have naturally wavy hair, or you curled your hair the night before, this look is effortless and cute. The oversized scrunchie adds a pop of style without covering up your waves.

How to style it:

• Let your waves fall naturally, or gently brush them out for a softer look.

• Take a small section of hair from one side of your head (near your temple) and wrap it around the base of your ear.

• Secure the small section with your oversized scrunchie—this keeps the hair out of your face and adds a cute accent to your waves.

Pro tip: Our TUTU Puffy Tulle Light Pink Scrunchie (when in stock) is perfect for this look—the soft pink tulle adds a feminine, dreamy touch that pairs beautifully with waves. It’s subtle enough to not overpower your hair, but cute enough to make a statement.
