Scrunchies are the best thing for my thick, long and curly hair. Any other type of ponytail always rips a chunk of my hair out when I try to remove it. I'm also not into accessorizing much, but luckily they make small and more neutral colored scrunchies which are just perfect for me.

I like scrunchies but they’re not tight enough on my hair so I always have to wear a regular hair tie underneath. If I just wore a scrunchy it would fall out in 2 minutes.

[@amandalynn1173]

@@rachelcookie321 They make small, tight, cotton scrunchies. I've also had scrunchies slip out of my hair, but it was because they had a thicker surrounding cloth and made out of silk or velvet. But if you google small, tight, cotton scrunchies you may see some you've never tried before. The ones that work best for my thick, crazy mess of tangled curls are usually dull and plain in color. Thicker, cute scrunchies that are more like accessorizes don't hold my hair tight enough at all.

I was an 80s kid so the big black velvet scrunchies with a poodle perm and hairsprayed sky-high bangs was the look of our generation :) Still get major Sarah Ferguson vibes when I see a velvet scrunchie.

[@shesachemist]

As a daughter of a tailor I can say that the stitch the materials in both the machines had at the ends is really good for preventing freying when done well. But all of them were done pretty badly and not finished correctly, that's why there was freying. Also, it really should be done with a thread that matches the fabric in colour as it isn't supposed to be a pretty stitch, just a functional one ☺️ also, I wear scrunchies all the time and I've paid a ridiculous amount of money for them so thank you h&m, I will be making my own from now on if it's that easy✌🏻

when I was a lot younger I went to a sewing camp where you could learn how to sew. In the end i made a draw string bag for my gym clothes for school. At the end of camp, when we were all finished with our projects and just for fun, the instructor taught us how to make scrunchies out of scrap fabric. So I already knew how to make a scrunchie before I started watching this video. So for me this toy was just ridiculous P.S. I’m so so glad that scrunchies are making a come back. I loved those things growing up. I thought they were very useful and it’s a different way of showing your style.

[@brittanybehny926]

I did pony tail holders growing up, and they worked fine for me. It wasn't until COVID and I couldn't go in for my regular hair cuts to keep the hair splitting at bay when I made the switch to scrunchies because they're supposed to be kinder on your hair. I'm now loving the fact that I can accessories better with them and it allows me to add even more pink to every outfit! I actually had a scrunchie maker as a kid too (it was the 90's and my aunts tried their best to keep me on trend), and it came with the little end clippies that ended up coming apart every time I tried to use the scrunchie in my hair.

My hair was always too fine for scrunchies, but even if it wasn't I was a MAJOR tomboy as a kid and aggressively rebelled against anything girly like scrunchies or hair clips. On the rare occasions I would put my hair up, I just used plain black rubber bands. I'm all about cute hair bows and headbands as an adult now. If I had long hair maybe I'd give scrunchies another shot, if only as a decoration on top of a rubber bandl

Not only am I wearing a scrunchie right now, I have a scrunchie dealer that I see at my local craft shows to get my fix. Yes, I'm a scrunchie addict. :(

[@aspirecreates]

Well this looks really interesting! Though I learned how to in a clothing and textiles class, and it's really an easy project to do Seeing the first kit now, it looks like they essentially presew the long edge of the scrunchie (something you could do with a sewing machine, or by hand I suppose) and then the machine is just to pull the elastic through the tube (something you could do with a pair of safety pins and a fair amount of patience. EDIT: Or, as she shows, literally just thread it through.) I... guess if you're a small child that doesn't know how to use a sewing machine, this kit would be fine, but I also would think if you're really into scrunchies you would rather make your own with custom fabrics Also, the lack of measurements on how long the elastic should be is painful.

[@rikaackerman3328]

[@boneclawwalker3778]

Elastic should typically be half the length of the scrunchie fabric :) hope that helps

[@arinicoletta8900]

Oh goodness! Those instructions reminded me of a project I used to introduce inferencing.

[@Linnzy]

When I was a kid we used a safety needle to get the string through the fabric easily, but we usually used a white flat string, nothing as cheap as this. Looking at these machines, you could just use s drinking straw to let the string through and then put it easily through the fabric, remove the drinking straw and voila .

When I was growing up there were NO scrunchies and we have these rubber bands with two balls on it to tie up your hair and they were evil! They hurt so much. Getting knuckle hit by one of those balls, was beyond painful and your poor knuckle would bruise and swell up.

[@Leena79]

I used to have scrunchies in the olden days (in the 80s!), when my hair was long, and I actually made them myself. I did learn how to use a sewing machine at an early age, so this machine seems like an overly complicated alternative to a safety pin to me. But for that price, I guess it's not complete trash - to buy just the materials could cost as much.

How did you not know about scrunchies? They were really popular in like the 80s and 90s and have been really pop again for the past 5 or so years.

[@istoleyourjams270]

Trust me srunchies are much healthier for your hair than the regular rubber bands (especially if you have thick, long or curly hair, maybe even all of those). They sort of received a bad name when they became big again somewhere in 2015? not sure what year. Most likely because it was considered "too girly" but their image is starting to rebuild. if you ever find a silk scrunchie I 100% recommend it, if not other scrunchies work well too.

the white stripe is there for when you want to make it "stronger". and if you do the purple / pink stripe you will sometimes feel it on the body, and somethimes it feels Strange and the white stripe feels a bit more normal.

[@rachelcookie321]

The purple and pink elastic are like hair tie elastics while the white one is just regular elastic. I think the hair tie ones are more firmer while the regular elastic is more stretchy and gives a softer hold.

@@sOuRrRrRrs JK Rowling has made some transphobic comments in her social medias and her books also have transphobic undertones in them, and she still makes a cut from HP licences. Arguably she also queerbaits in her books. There is other issues too but the transphobia is the main evil.

[@lilymae3489]

Yeah what did happen?

[@photogbrandie5744]

I understand how you feel. Jo’s hatefulness really broke my heart as someone who loved the series, and had quite an extensive collection of memorabilia. But if you take a moment to look deeper into the themes and magical creatures in the books, you can see it was problematic from the start. It was just easy to overlook because the books were just so readable and the characters so relatable. I don’t blame Jackie, though. As you can see by the comments above mine, even in 2023 there are people who haven’t yet learned about Rowling’s terrifying impact on the rights of the trans community.

[@user-uc7hm5ld1f]

May I ask why ?

[@barbararodriguez8329]

we used the kind with the metal grommet. that held your hair as a kid. now I use orchestra and scrunchiis

[@mariahmayhugh8324]

Jackie, I started supporting/subscribing to you because of how wonderfully inclusive you were to the neurodiverse/disability community. I'm so disappointed that Sophie and Toffee has this box, because they definitely know better. JK Rowling does not deserve any more of our money after the way she has chosen to use her platform against the Trans community. I really like you, Jackie, and the way you're always so inclusive so I'm giving you personally the benefit of the doubt that you didn't know. But I will not be buying from Sophie and Toffee due to this and I really hope you release a follow up video to this that states that you 100% support transgender rights.

As a trans person, it's very sad and disappointing to see you doing a Harry Potter sponsorship considering all of the things that J. K. Rowling has said.

[@RadioAlastor]

@@pawprintssystem5481 yeah. I was hoping to find more people in the comment section who cared.

[@Darkmark-tu5ds]

To start, I absolutely love your channel. I’ve been a fan for quite awhile now and you always brighten my day. I know being salty is your whole thing, but lately I’m getting the button that you’re not even having fun using the kits/items. Maybe it’s just me? But I would much rather see you try to use something you may like them to use things you don’t just to make us happy!

[@julietacrobatics9230]

HOLY CARP. JACKIE IM ON THE JUST MY STYLE SCRUNCHIE MAKING BOX. MY FACE IS SO TINY. THIS IS HUGE. IM ON YOUR CHANNEL!

[@greyrgoose]

It's sad to see the HP plug in the video, but I'm going to give Jackie the benefit of the doubt. You can't just suddenly drop a sponsorship, and it's your livelyhood since KZbin monetization is shakey as hell. No idea if Sophie and Toffee pays royalties to use HP stuff, but if they do that goes directly to her. I'd encourage y'all to not buy anything HP or support anything of that nature and buy books from trans authors instead (esp trans women of color)

im not trying to start anything here, but im a little disappointed in the endorsement of harry potter, considering jkr is known to be a violent transphobe (specifically transmisogynist) who is currently using her bigotry to her advantage right now to promote her new work. im not trying to say jackie is a bad person at all, and im not attacking her if she didnt know that already, but if she wants to protect kids and her viewers its important to remember that her audience includes people harmed by jkr's actions. being such a big creator on here and having such a large audience to promote such a horrible person to is contributing to jkr's reach and enabling fans to pay for her stuff, and shes known to use her money to contribute to anti trans groups in the uk

Hi Jackie, I love your content and how you edit your videos! Merry Christmas

[@veravaneijk]

Ahh, the first kit comes from the Netherlands! Nice to know that I'm not the only Dutch brain here! For people interested: Kruidvat is a Dutch store, more specificlly a drugstore (in Dutch: drogist). They also sell unhealthy snacks and toys there for some reason.

I love your videos, but unfortunately I had to stop watching this once I saw it was sponsored by a Harry Potter license product. J. K. Rowling has been very bigoted towards transgender people lately, and a lot of us are trying to boycott her products now. Which is sad because I grew up loving Harry Potter in my high school days and dedicated a lot of time and energy to it, and it’s hard for a lot of people I understand. I hope to watch you in the next video and that Sophie and toffee have a better licensee soon.
