Shortly after quarantine, I cut my hair down to a bob. It was time for a change! And throughout the summer and now fall, I’ve been scaling it back and daring to go shorter ever since.

With that comes the challenge of re-learning how to style it. No one needs to see me in a flat-crown ponytail, volume-less and forehead heavily featured, like Shan Yu ‘s men from Mulan.

Thankfully, our local hair styling gal pals at Hey Gidget helps me out with keeping my hair cute!

These are not your mom’s scrunchies - they range in size, color, pattern, and fabric. Thick and small with a bow, like this one (above) or lightweight, airy, and bulging like that one (below)? Take your pic. They’re poppin’ on the ‘gram and frequently poll their followers for what styles they want to see next.

Order a fun barrette (play with shape and texture) or a scrunchie set (like this Date Night one, my favorite!)

In our new world of Zoom calls, Teams meetings, Facetime date nights and group Skypes, look your best with a bit of flair to your ‘do.
