Scrunchies are back! Actually they never went away and I will tell you why....

I am quite possibly the biggest fan of a scrunchies . I wear scrunchies all the time. Why, you ask? Because they’re the best in every possible way. They can take a bad hair day and instantly turn it into a good hair day with very little effort. The scrunchie is often scoffed at for being childish or outdated but not anymore with A listers and glossies getting on board with the trend I bet I can change your mind and convert you to the scrunchie lifestyle by the time you finish reading!

Ok so here are a few of the best bits, Scrunchies don't give you headaches. They also don't rip out your hair like hair elastic can, and they're way less likely to cause breakage. ... Put your hair half up, half down with a scrunchie the ways to wear them are endless.

According to wikipedia The Scrunchie was invented by Philips E. Meyers in 1963[3] but was not patented until 1987 by Ronny Revson, who named the decorative hair accessory the Scunci after her pet toy poodle[4]. The name Scrunchie was a natural evolution, because the fabric scrunched up. After patenting the Scrunchie, Revson spent most of her time in legal disputes, both with manufacturers and her own lawyers[5]. Scrunchies were particularly popular in the 1980s and 1990s, including larger, more elaborate versions. Scrunchies regained popularity in the mid 2010s.[6] Debbie Gibson in particular wore them; Madonna wore a large velvet scrunchie in Desperately Seeking Susan.[7] An episode of Sex and the City mocked the fashion.

So where are we now with this hair accessory? Well they have showed up all over our Instagrams. Today it's all about the oversize scrunchies. Billowy scrunchies have been seen on the wrists and ponytails of fashion girls all around the globe.

Spice Girls wear Halo & Co on 2019 tour

It's been a crazy ride with plenty of "Zig-a-zig-ah" at Halo & Co Head quarters!! as we began to design accessories for the SpiceWord 2019 tour.

The whole process was a whirlwind of planning, designing, creating, altering, fittings and very late nights!" "We worked with Geri on her accessories for her Olympic Performance and knew that this was going to be even bigger and better!!

Halo & Co were asked to produce items for the Spice girls which lets face it must be anyone’s dream job and to think of the size stadiums the girls were to perform in and the sheer numbers of worldwide fans added slightly more stress and pressure on us to make sure that everything we produced would stand up to massive visual requirements.

Geri Horner "Ginger Spice" wearing Halo & Co crown

Using the finest Swarovski crystals, we began on Geri's opening act crown, which is still one of my personal favorites, and even though it was only revealed last night the phone and requests have been flooding in. We have now started to take pre-orders for the piece (for more information on owing your very own crown contact sales@haloandco.com)

Working with Gabrielle Slade, Costume Designer, was an inspiration and we totally fell in love with the concepts of each Spice Girl having a house style to work to. Knowing Geri, and her love of headpieces we knew that we would need to create the best crown possible for the ultimate Pop Princess!

To see all four Spice Girls, (Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton) wearing Halo & Co on their sold-out tour is amazing, after designing headpieces, jewelry and adornments for the girl’s outfits we loved every minute!! Seeing the opening and closing acts Sparkle away adorned by Halo & Co did bring a tear to our eyes!!

We know you all have your favourite spice girl!! So we will do a special blog dedicated to each one in the next few days. Promise!!

So for now just continue to Spice up your life in anyway you can!!
