I have super thick hair and I’ve been growing it out. Kind of dreading summer and what to do with my hair to keep cool. Just put this on my wish list. ropeball on "For anyone else whose hair is too much for a scrunchie" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-else-whose-hair-is-too-much-for-a-scrunchie#post-2024363 Fri, 03 May 2019 22:45:21 +0000 ropeball 2024363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So pretty!! Thanks to you, I put one on wishlist.  I have to keep an eye out when I go to Nordstrom next time to try it.   kkards on "For anyone else whose hair is too much for a scrunchie" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-else-whose-hair-is-too-much-for-a-scrunchie#post-2024248 Fri, 03 May 2019 16:57:36 +0000 kkards 2024248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've had good luck finding barrettes and hair elastics at Target that are made for thick hair. and back in  the day, I had a scrunchie that was leather instead of fabric, and for some reason, that worked really well...then I cut my hair short...and I have no idea what happened to that scrunchie Joyce B on "For anyone else whose hair is too much for a scrunchie" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-else-whose-hair-is-too-much-for-a-scrunchie#post-2024221 Fri, 03 May 2019 15:37:44 +0000 Joyce B 2024221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, April.

Thanks, April. Worth every penny.  April on "For anyone else whose hair is too much for a scrunchie" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-else-whose-hair-is-too-much-for-a-scrunchie#post-2024140 Fri, 03 May 2019 12:21:48 +0000 April 2024140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ JB -- I would say start with the smaller one and leave the tag on.  Nordstrom is so wonderful with returns.  You'll know right away if the volume of your hair strains the capacity of the medium clip.

What size would you think might work for long hair but not superthick? I am thinking of the medium size for styling similar to what they show in the picture.

For the few years I had long thick, curly hair — picture Cowardly Lion post makeover — I used these almost daily.

Great hold, without crushing my hair, and it makes me feel a bit more formal/polished than a scrunchy. I’m definitely planning to purchase one of the Maximas style, too. Thanks for the recommendation!

SD8 -- it's not marked, but I can only imagine that I got the largest size they have.  Go big or don't bother.  :)  I can't speak to the fine/slippery hair issue, but what this works well for is when someone has a lot of hair to manage.  Like I would guess if it was fine and slippery but long enough to wind around a couple times before clipping, you'd be good to go with this barette.  (Do people still say barette?) nemosmom on "For anyone else whose hair is too much for a scrunchie" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-else-whose-hair-is-too-much-for-a-scrunchie#post-2024013 Thu, 02 May 2019 20:49:11 +0000 nemosmom 2024013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the lead! Another great accessory is the Spin Pin by Goody. Works great for buns!

They have the spring wound invisibobble thingy inside the scrunched, which hold way better than just a plain elastic.

How does it do on fine/slippery hair, do you know? And which size did you purchase? Thanks for the tip!

You describe the advantages of this investment hair clip better than the item details Nordstrom provides. rachylou on "For anyone else whose hair is too much for a scrunchie" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-else-whose-hair-is-too-much-for-a-scrunchie#post-2023981 Thu, 02 May 2019 19:11:46 +0000 rachylou 2023981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful!
