Why Scrunchies Work Wonders for Thick Hair

By
  Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels Thick hair comes with its fair share of challenges, especially when it's time to look for the right hair accessory that not only conforms to the width of the strands, but also maintains its durability. For those with luscious locks, the struggle to find a reliable and comfortable hair tie is real. Read on to discover why scrunchies are not just a fashion statement but a practical and effective solution for those with thick hair.  Gentle Hold One of the primary concerns for those with thick hair is the likeliness of damage and breakage caused by hair ties that are either too thin or too tight.

Trend Alert: Corsets (2022)

Corsets are among the hottest fashion trends in 2022 and 2023. From traditional, elastic corsets to bustier tops and bodysuits, this new style movement is all about feeling confident and empowered.

The corset dates back to the early 1900s. Women wore these bodices in the Edwardian and Victorian era. The narrow waisted look in fashion later transitioned to the slim silhouette by the 1920s. Manufacturers began to create the elasticized corsets as supportive undergarments for women. By the 1930s, there was a greater interest in small silhouettes with an emphasis on the hourglass figure. By the 1950s and 1960s, most women were wearing foundation garments underneath their clothes. In the 1970s and 1980s, corsets became popular as an outerwear trend. They were designed to flatten the belly and raise the bosom.

Corsets made a comeback in the 2000s with a more satin and ribboned look. By 2015, the corselette began to appear on the spring/summer runway shows. The most recent revival of these supportive garments has been inspired by the cottage core aesthetic, among other styles.
