Drowsy Leopard Silk Scrunchie

The scrunchie our stylists reach for behind the chair

Every good blowout deserves a soft place to land. This is the oversized silk scrunchie we keep at the styling station for the moment a client wants her hair up without undoing the work we just put in. Cut from Drowsy’s signature leopard print, it’s the rare accessory that reads as jewelry and behaves like hair care.

The secret is the silk. It’s 100% pure mulberry silk in a plush 22-momme weight, the same grade of fabric prized in luxury pillowcases and sleep masks. Where a cotton or elastic tie grabs and tugs, silk glides. That smooth surface means far less friction against the hair cuticle, so you sidestep the dents, kinks, and frizz that ordinary ties leave behind. Wrap it around a topknot before bed and you’ll wake with a soft bend instead of a hard crease.

It’s generously padded and oversized on purpose. The fuller loop cradles more hair and distributes tension gently across the scalp, which is kinder to fine strands and a real relief for anyone nursing a fragile hairline or extensions. It holds a ponytail securely through a beach day on the Emerald Coast, then loosens without that painful snag when you take it down.

We stock it at the Studio Beige atelier in Destin because it’s the accessory we actually recommend, especially to our extension clients who want overnight protection that feels indulgent rather than clinical. Come try the silk against your fingertips, see the print in the light, and take one home the same afternoon. It also happens to make a beautiful little gift, tag and all.

How to Use

• For daytime wear, gather hair and wrap two to three times for a secure, gentle hold that won’t dent.
• Before bed, loosely loop a topknot high on the crown to protect your style and minimize overnight frizz.
• Extension and fine-hair clients: keep tension light and low to guard the hairline while you sleep.
• To clean, hand wash or machine wash cold in a delicates bag (below 86°F / 30°C) with a pH-neutral detergent. No bleach, no tumble dry, no dry cleaning. Lay flat or hang to dry.
