Benefits of Linen Scrunchies:
A New Type Of Luxury
Linen is often overshadowed by its silk or satin counter-parts. The high-quality properties of linen has made it an often overlooked luxurious fabric choice. There are a variety of features that linen has to offer that makes it stand out from traditional luxury fabrics. Unlike satin, linen reduces friction that may lead to static, keeping your hair smooth, and hairstyle in place. Linen is also made from flaxseed which is known to add moisture to the hair, making it less drying than cotton hair ties.
Comfort
Handmade scrunchies are a more comfortable way to pull back your locks. They're designed to keep your hair secure while eliminating tension put on your hair by other traditional hair ties, limiting breakage and tangles. Although it tends to be a heavier in weight, linen has a very soft texture. The more it's washed, the softer it gets. It's a highly comfortable material with very high breathability. The airiness of linen allows for the hair to breathe freely without sweating out or creating oil build up.
Durability
Linen can be washed several times and never loses its durability. In fact, linen gets stronger when wet, unlike silk whose fibers weaken when in contact with water. French linen in particular is a naturally absorbent material, making it perfect for pool days. It's ability to withstand wear and tear of constant usage, and affinity to water absorption, makes it not only perfect for the summer, but also for long lasting all-year use!
Naturally Hypoallergenic
Flax is naturally hypoallergenic, containing many anti-bacterial properties; because of this, linen is known to be immune to mold, fungus, and dust mites. These qualities allow linen scrunchies to be more long lasting than those made with synthetic fibers, but also perfect for those with skin and allergy sensitivities.
Sustainable
Linen scrunchies are made from flax, a natural fiber that requires less water usage and pesticides to be produced than other natural materials such as cotton. Flax, in addition, is also naturally biodegradable, making it a perfect choice for the environmentally conscious scrunchie lover!
