So it won’t come as a surprise that some of the hair trends you previously denounced (after wearing proudly for years) have come full circle and are currently enjoying the spotlight again.

The debated scrunchie is no longer a taboo hair accessory. As displayed by Selena Gomez, the once-loved-then-hate scrunchie can add a playful flair to a polished hairstyle. And let’s not forget that scrunchies are far easier on your hair than your everyday elastic.

As stated by Paul Mitchell® Regional Color Coordinator Amanda Goodsell, hair tapestries are a fond memory of beach vacations with the family. But now, the small strand that was previously turned into hair art is expanded to an entire panel with embroidery hoops and needles. We can definitely see ourselves giving hair tapestries a try during festival season.
