Now Hair's a Great Idea

You are forgiven for remembering that scrunchies were popular in the 80s. You are not forgiven for not admitting that you had wore them in the 80s! Unless, of course, you weren't around in the 80s, which is probably quite a number of our Rainworth parents, frankly, and you're therefore, excused!

Synonymous with style and flair, fabric hair scrunchies are a staple of most bathroom drawers - usually the same one the hairdryer, the myriad brushes, the bobbypins and the mousse* hang out in (aka 'product' in these modern times!). Whether you're playing in the garden, hopping in the tub or going for a ride on the bike, girls of all ages find scrunchies the true go-to item to keep those long tresses in check and out of your eyes.

They're durable, they're fantastic for using up fabric that otherwise might've made if from the cutting room floor into the bin, and they're just darned useful. How anyone could actually think they ever went of style and then came back in is beyond me. They've always been on the Hot List, IMHO ('in my humble opinion' for those born before the 80s). At the Rainbow Carnival, there will be a veritable truck-load of gorgeous fabric scrunchies to suit all tastes and wardrobes.

To me, scrunchies are up there with Eurythmics, Howard Jones, Bon Jovi, The Bangles, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran (think I still have a record - yes, I said record - of theirs!), Depeche Mode, The Cure, Hall & Oates, Pet Shop Boys, The Go-Gos (oh, how I loved that fountain film clip), Blondie, Adam and The Ants, Talking Heads, Boy George (now he knew how to apply make-up!), The Police... I've got a bit off track here, haven't I?

Anyhow, you get my drift, just like the music, scrunchies are true treasures from the 80s that are just too good to get rid of!

Hail up-styles... long live the Scrunchie!

But wait... there's more - each scrunchie comes with a pair of matching button bobby pins. TOO COOL!
