The scrunchie. Color me a child of the 80s, but I still love the scrunchie. I know this is not a topic of interest for guys (one can hope, anyway), but any female above the age of 30 should have at least some amount of respect for its value. Scrunchies don't break your hair off. Scrunchies don't hold your ponytail so tight that you look like you've had a face lift. Scrunchies can be color coordinated to match your outfit (if you're into that sort of thing). Scrunchies can be machine washed. And scrunchies last forever. I think I've only tossed one or two scrunchies in the past 25 years... Deny it if you will. Say that you don't sleep with your hair up in a scrunchie, or wear one when you are weeding the yard (which, by the way, is a much more demented activity than wearing the scrunchie if you ask me... but I'll save that for another blog.) The truth is, there are tons of closet-scrunchie wearers out there. Don't believe me? Just check out the massive scrunchie selection at any Wal-mart. Supply and demand, baby, supply and flippin' demand.
