Scrunchie creator Rommy Hunt Revson passed away last week, but she was still alive to see its triumphant return as a stylish accessory.
But the scrunchie’s legacy remains bifurcated: At some points in history, it has been a fashion statement, and at others, merely a home comfort item — like a bathrobe or a pair of slippers, to be worn outside the house only as far as the mailbox. Its utility is unflagging, its widespread appeal less consistent.
Kim Kimble, a Los Angeles-based hairstylist and the head of the hair department on HBO’s “Euphoria,” wears her hair in braids. So silk scrunchies are a go-to at home: “They don’t pull or snag” the way other hair elastics would, she says. “For me, it’s a convenience.”Kimble, however, has been styling hair for more than 30 years, and she sees the scrunchie as a statement piece she’d only ever deploy to directly evoke the late 20th century. She’s aware, certainly, that it’s trendy once again.
