Splash Happy™ Silk Scrunchie Maxi – 6A Mulberry Silk for Gentle Curl Care

Splash Happy™ Silk Scrunchie Maxi is one of those simple tools that quietly makes a difference.

If you’re gathering your curls up — for sleep, for the gym, for getting through the day — what you secure them with makes a difference. Tension and friction at the tie point are common causes of unnecessary breakage, particularly for fine or delicate curls. And, elastic bands just break my curl specialist's heart.

These maxi scrunchies are lovingly made in Aotearoa NZ by Sarah of Splash Happy™ using 6A grade mulberry silk, which is the highest quality grade available. Not all silk is equal. Lower grades can feel thinner, less smooth and less durable over time. Grade 6A is softer, stronger and more lustrous, which translates to less friction against the fibre.

Silk allows hair to glide rather than grip. That glide helps reduce surface roughness and minimises the creasing and tension you often see from standard elastics.

This isn’t about making a statement (although it can), but it is about treating your curls kindly.

BEST FOR:
• High ponytails without harsh creasing
• Loose buns or pineapples
• Fine or fragile curls
• Reducing tension at the tie point
• Everyday wear that doesn’t compromise fibre integrity

DONNA’S PROFESSIONAL NOTES:
• Most breakage from hair ties happens at the same repeated tension point. A softer surface reduces that risk.
• I recommend using a scrunchie like this loosely rather than wrapping it multiple times tightly.
• The maxi size distributes pressure more evenly than thin elastics.
• If you’re serious about preserving your curl health long-term, small daily habits like this add up.
• This is one of those “small upgrades” that doesn’t look dramatic but supports fibre longevity.

KEY FEATURES:
• 6A grade mulberry silk
• Maxi size for balanced tension
• Soft, smooth surface
• Designed to reduce friction
• Made in AOTEAROA NZ

At Curls Naturally, even the smallest accessories are selected with fibre health in mind. If you’re investing in your curl care routine, what you tie your hair with deserves just as much thought as what you wash it with.
