Learn how to wash, dry, and store your Tencel scrunchie to keep it soft, wrinkle-free, and long-lasting.
Quick answer
Hand wash your Tencel scrunchie in cold water with mild detergent, air dry flat, and store it away from direct sunlight to preserve its softness and shape.
Why Tencel needs special care
Tencel is a hypoallergenic, wrinkle-resistant fiber that feels silky against hair, but it can be damaged by heat, harsh detergents, or rough handling. The same qualities that make it comfortable also make it more delicate than cotton or polyester blends.
Step-by-step Tencel scrunchie care
- Hand wash in cold water: Fill a bowl with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent. Submerge the scrunchie and gently swish it for 30 seconds. Do not rub or twist the fabric. Hot water can shrink or distort Tencel fibers, so always stick to cold.
- Rinse and squeeze out excess water: Drain the soapy water and refill with clean cold water. Swish again to remove all detergent. Gently press the scrunchie between your palms to remove water—never wring it. Wringing creates permanent creases and can loosen the elastic inside.
- Air dry flat away from heat: Lay the scrunchie on a clean, dry towel or a mesh drying rack. Keep it out of direct sunlight, radiators, and tumble dryers. It will dry in a few hours. Heat from dryers or sunlight can fade the color and make the fabric stiff.
- Store loosely in a drawer or pouch: Once dry, store your Tencel scrunchie in a drawer or a soft pouch where it won't be crushed by heavy items. Avoid hanging it on hooks that can stretch the elastic. Storing it loosely prevents unnecessary stretching and keeps the scrunchie round.
