Want a messy bun in minutes? It's time to learn how to use a scrunchie hair piece. Quick, elegant and natural-looking, our scrunchie hair pieces take zero hair skills and just a few minutes to fit. Get ready for your instant messy hair transformation...

What is a scrunchie hairpiece?

A scrunchie hair piece is an accessory that can be used to create a new, fun hairstyle with minimal time, skill or effort; from messy mum buns to wedding hair or a sleek low bun.

Designed to match your natural hair colour, hair scrunchies can look indistinguishable from your natural locks. It's just a matter of time before these hair accessories become your favourite shortcut to fuss-free, beautiful hair.

How Do You Use A Scrunchie Hair Piece?

One of the best things about an updo hairpiece is its versatility. Learn how to use a scrunchie hair piece with these three easy step-by-steps.

1. The curly messy bun

A messy bun scrunchie can shave minutes off your morning routine. Quick yet effective, this step-by-step transforms tiny buns into curly, voluminous up-do's that look effortless (and take far less time than you might first think). Ideal for those mornings when you're running behind.

Step 1: Pull your natural hair into a high, messy ponytail and start twisting it into a bun.

Step 2: Secure your natural bun using the scrunchie hairpiece. Loop this around your hair twice to ensure it stays in place for the whole day. 

Step 3: Tweak the scrunchie hair piece until you are happy with the final effect. You can also pull out strands of hair around your face to create a more messy hair look.

2. The flicky messy bun

Disguise days-old hair with this sleek, low bun tutorial. Ideal for special events or the every day, this low-maintenance updo may take just moments, but it gets maximum points in the style stakes.

Step 1: Create a middle parting and brush your hair into a low ponytail.

Step 2: Twist the ponytail into a bun and secure it with bobby pins or a hair tie.

Step 3: Take the Flicky Messy Bun and wrap it around your natural bun twice.

Step 4: Slick back flyaways and smooth down the parting with hairspray or your favourite hair styling product for a sleek, smooth finish.

3. The special occasion hair scrunchie look

Want to look and feel extra special? This hair how-to uses a scrunchie hair piece to create a glamorous updo that's worthy of the red carpet. The best bit? You'll be finished in five minutes flat.

Step 1: Create a middle or centre parting in your hair. Now create a low ponytail and secure it with a hair tie.

Step 2: Tease out pieces of hair around the front of your face. Blow dry or curl the loose hair to create a polished look. 

Step 3: Twist your ponytail into a bun and use one of our messy bun scrunchies to hold it in place. Wrap it around your natural bun twice.

Step 4: Tweak the hair accessory until you are happy with the finish. Set your natural hair with hairspray. Use glitzy slides, a statement hairband or even a silky scarf to add a glamorous twist.
