Kate’s rather jarring giant red scrunchie on last week’s Lost seemed a bit out of the norm at first, but, you know, busy mom, wanted to relate to Cassidy, whatever. We’ll let it slide. On last night’s Dancing With the Stars, though, my fave contestant, Lil’ Kim, whipped out an even fluffier beige variety with which to wrangle that mane during her rehearsal segment with Derek! Resurgence of the scrunchie? Oh hell to the no!
I’m just saying. We’re onto you, ABC. Stop trying to make scrunchies happen again! They’re not going to happen again. (Much to my mom’s eternal dismay.) So not fetch.
If you see any other scrunchies infesting ABC or any channel, email ScrunchieWatch@ew.com IMMEDIATELY. Investigation ongoing.

I don’t get it. I wear scrunchies every day and love them. People always remark on my keen fashion sense. I look totally hot!
Lol at the level of confidence coming from “PerfectlyPerfect” haha.
I’m a guy and don’t really see the big deal with scrunchies. Butterfly clips, however, are an entirely different story…
I can’t say that I noticed Kate’s scrunchy at all last week. And I can’t really jump on the anti-scrunchy bandwagon, unless people start wearing them to the Oscars. If shoulder pads start making a comeback, then I will gladly join your parade.
PerfectlyPerfect, are those people who remark on your keen fashion sense under the age of 12?
The thing about scrunchies is they are a lot easier on the hair than a regular pony-tail holder. I don’t wear either because my hair’s too short – but back in the day….
What is wrong with scrunchies again? Oh yeah, nothing.
I noticed Kate’s scrunchie last week too! My thought was “is that a scrunchie????” They just look so…dated. I don’t wear them, but I guess if it’s a casual day, then fine. Scrunchie up. But people should not be allowed to wear scrunchies to fancy events or work. That’s just bad.
I do have to admit to wearing scrunchies every day–and so does my husband–for function, not fashion; in my/our defense, they are exclusively black (not easily seen against dark brown hair) and usually worn during a meal or in gale-force winds.
This article makes me want to grow my hair long again just so I can wear scrunchies every day. To work, to the Oscars, wherever. Take that, scrunchie police.
Annie, stop trying to make fetch happen. It’s not going to happen.
There was a whole line devoted to a scrunchie in Lifetime’s High Noon last Saturday. Granted it was to a little girl, but…
Oh, please link the scene from “Sex and the City” so everyone will get the story of the scrunchie. You could not possibly ever think they’re OK again after seeing Carrie’s classic rebuke! Hell to the no– exactly!
I went to Youtube to see if I could find said scene, until I realized it meant I would have to actually watch video from Sex and the City. I gave up immediately. Personally, I’d rather wear a scrunchie my grandmother crocheted for me.
I happen to be sporting a scrunchie right now. Of course, I’m at home in pjs…
But still, embrace youth:)
Scrunchies should be reserved for holding your hair back while you wash your face, or just hanging out at home. The are alot easier on your hair than a regular pony tail holder. I won’t be giving up my favorite black scrunchie any time soon, but I won’t be wearing it out to a club either.
