Scrunched Hairstyles

When you don't have the time to blow dry or curl your hair, try scrunching your hair for a fast but still fashion-forward style. Scrunching your hair offers the best of both worlds, working with curly and straight hair types. The process can be done in a pinch for beach-ready waves. Make sure you have the right products and preparation to make your scrunch hairstyle look great and last long.

Preparation

    Prepping your hair will make the difference between a hairstyle that lasts through a day at the office and a night on the town and one that falls flat around noon. When in the shower, wash with shampoo only, leaving out the conditioner. Conditioner can weigh down any natural wave or curl, making it harder to scrunch. If you need conditioner, use it on just the tips of your hair, which are the driest part of your hair. As you get out of the shower, don't towel dry your hair by rubbing it; instead, squeeze the water from your hair gently in the towel so that you don't get excess frizz from creating friction.

Products

    Choosing the right products for your hair type will go a long way in how successful you are with a scrunched hairstyle. For instance, if your hair is already curly or wavy, choose a lightweight curling mousse that will weightlessly give your hair extra hold and shape. V05 products makes a Curvaceous Curls line of mousse products that work well for this application. For straight hair, choose a stronger hold gel or gel spray. You'll need the extra hold to turn your straight hair into scrunched locks. Look for products like Aussie Sprunch Spray, a spray gel that works well on straight hair in scrunches styles. Always use a wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute the hair product from root to tip to get the best results. If you find that your hair gel makes your hair more crunchy than scrunchy, add a dollop of conditioner to it in the palm of your hand. It will soften the gel so that you don't get that crunch effect.

Technique

    When you've applied your hair product and distributed it through evenly, you're ready to scrunch your hair to get lasting waves. The easiest way to do so is with a hair diffuser. A diffuser is the attachment that comes with most hair dryers. It is shaped like a half-circle with prongs or fingers jutting out of it. A diffuser diffuses the wind force from the hair dryer, so that you get more heat and less frizz. Gently cup your hair in the diffuser while heating to get your hair warm enough to be pliable. Switch the diffuser off and remove it from your hair. Now you can begin scrunching. Take fistfuls of hair and work them so they obtain a more wavy shape. You'll know you're done when you have wavy hair that still looks slightly wet. Leave your scrunched hair down, pull it into a half ponytail or tuck a barrette or flower behind your ear.
