"You know how Christa said AquaNet was back last week? Well, you won&amp;#x27;t believe the other &amp;#x27;80s trend I&amp;#x27;ve been seeing on women lately. Hair scrunchies. Yep, you read that correctly. I was first alerted to the trend when one of my beauty publicist friends said she saw a woman wearing one the other day. &amp;quot;No way!&amp;quot; I gasped. Since then, I have seen this scrunchie phenomenon reveal itself two more times: once at the gym (I didn&amp;#x27;t stare too much then) and again while having dinner with a very cute boy (he was sweet and all, but even so, I couldn&amp;#x27;t help but be distracted by the &amp;quot;S&amp;quot; sighting). While we were dining, I spotted a lady pulling her hair into a low ponytail with one. All I could do was stare and tell the cute boy (whom I just met and probably now thinks that I&amp;#x27;m certifiably crazy) I had to go to the restroom ASAP. (Clearly, I was just going to take a closer look at this woman.) Of course, she was sitting in the opposite direction of the restroom so I had to take the long route, but it was totally worth it. The woman was talking avidly with another lady and looked completely stylish and of-this-decade except for the black hair scrunchie. Tons of questions came to mind: Where did she get that scrunchie? Did she purchase it recently at a store? If so, where? Or was this a relic of the late &amp;#x27;80s/early &amp;#x27;90s that she held on to and decided to just start wearing again one day? Needless to say, I didn&amp;#x27;t ask the woman any questions, just stared. (I&amp;#x27;m sure she thought I was a stalker. I think I may need to invest in one of those spy pens that takes pictures so I won&amp;#x27;t have to stare so much at people.) Have I stumbled on a returning trend? Does the rule of three apply here? Is the retro hair accessory so wrong, it&amp;#x27;s now right? If so, I bet the first celeb we&amp;#x27;ll see rocking it is Katy Perry. (I mean, she does wear colorful wigs and polka-dotted nails, so why not hair scrunchies, too?) So, you know I just have to ask you guys: Has anyone else spotted scrunchies in her neck of the woods? Are they (like AquaNet Hairspray) making a comeback? Should we be afraid? Or should we embrace its inevitable comeback? Tell me what you think in the comments section below.
