Zero Waste Botanically Dyed Silk Scrunchies
Zero Waste Botanically Dyed Silk Scrunchies
One of a kind, botanical infused silk scrunchies made with reclaimed silk and dyed with sustainably sourced Australian plants. A lovely everyday accessory that adds a pop of colour without the effort, it’s also great for stacking up with bracelets for an effortless boho vibe.
Silk’s protein fibre structure also helps to maintain healthy hair and tame curls by retaining hair moisture and preventing hair breakage, making this a thoughtful and beautiful gift.

Only non-toxic metal salts and natural pigments are used in my dyeing process, so the end product is not only kinder to the environment compared to conventional dyeing methods, but also safer and gentler on your skin. Each leaf and petal I use is also sourced conscientiously - I grow what I can in my are either grown in my home garden, gather mindfully in Sydney suburbs or collect kitchen and floral waste from local businesses.
Each item is handmade and one of a kind, so your scrunchie will be entirely unique and different from the one pictured. Variations in colour and details are all part of what makes your item special and should be embraced.
