That Scrunchie Girl Reinventing The Old-School Hair Accessory

Once upon 1991, the scrunchie was a big deal. From Madonna to Paula Abdul, scrunchies were hot and so were the women that wore them. Flash forward to the 21st century, however, and the thought of the scrunchie is met with rolled eyes and “can you believe we wore that?” moments, right along with shoulder pads and high-waisted jeans. But, while the last five years has re-welcomed both shoulder-centric silhouettes and “mom jeans”, they haven’t been as kind to the scrunchie. But maybe that’s because no one has been ambitious enough to take on its reputation, reimagining the way the old-school hair accessory is worn. That is, no one until That Scrunchie Girl came on the scene!

Meet Fabiana Boumbis (pictured above right), the Australian genius behind That Scrunchie Girl, a luxury scrunchie brand that features high-end products that are catching on in a big way. Envisioning a chic way to not just design, but to also style the scrunchie, Fabiana launched her business, although not without some hesitation. Plagued with a serious case of “what-ifs” that held her back from pushing the start button, she finally took the plunge, showing the world what she, and her scrunchies, are made of. Armed with the help of her fashion school teacher and strategic industry contacts, today That Scrunchie Girl has been featured in Glamour, Elle, GQ and Vogue, to name just a few.

Prompted with an influx of inspiration, which can be seen on That Scrunchie Girl’s Instagram account, fashionistas around the world have begun experimenting with the accessory, wearing it on arms, wrists, ankles, and, of course, in their hair!
