Get excited… we’ve collaborated with celebrity hairstylist and fellow Canadian Matthew Collins to create a truly innovative hair accessory.

Matthew came to us with an idea and explained that during his years of working as a professional hairstylist he had identified a professional tool that could be adapted for everyday use. He and his fellow pros would use a bungee hair elastic to fasten any ponytail or hairstyle that needed to be snatched and stay put for any length of time. But what if instead of using an elastic, the bungee hooks could be fastened on each end of a scrunchie?

Meet The Scrungee™. Matthew was a long-time fan of Chelsea King and our products and when we heard about Matthew's vision and the concept for the Scrungee, it excited us and we got to work developing various prototypes, experimenting with the technical aspects related to ideal hook sizes and shapes, optimal elastic tension and more. Through our development process we also identified specific areas of use where we feel the Scrungee would be ideal - the fitness realm and elevated daytime wear.

So, we are thrilled to be able to offer two types of Scrungee in our Day + Night Duo: The Active and The City. The Active allows you to focus on your fitness, while we hold your hair. The City provides a perfect hold for your hairstyle so you can focus on chasing your dreams, wherever they take you.
