A scrunchie isn't just a hair accessory — it's a finishing touch that can enhance your look, brighten your face, or go completely unnoticed if not chosen well. At LIA.G, each scrunchie is handmade in carefully selected colors, designed to complement the widest variety of skin and hair tones possible. Here’s how to get your choice right.

First, identify your skin undertone

Before looking at hair color, pay attention to your skin undertone — it’s the foundation that determines which colors suit you best:

• Warm undertone: wrist veins appear greenish, gold jewelry suits you well.
• Cool undertone: veins appear blue or purple, silver jewelry suits you well.
• Neutral undertone: a mix of both — you have more leeway.

According to your hair color

Blonde hair Pastel shades (pale pink, lavender, light blue) and neutrals like beige or cream create a soft and elegant contrast. If you’re looking for a more striking effect, a scrunchie in terracotta or burgundy adds depth without competing with your natural hair color.

Brown hair Brown is the most versatile canvas: almost anything works. Earth tones, mustard, and olive green enhance the warm highlights of brown hair, while a jewel-toned scrunchie (emerald, sapphire blue) provides a sophisticated contrast.

Red hair For red hair, greens (emerald, forest green) and golden tones are a sure hit — they are complementary on the color wheel and make the red of the hair stand out even more. Avoid highly saturated pink or orange tones, which can compete with the natural color.

Dark brown or black hair Dark hair allows you to play with intense and saturated colors: red, fuchsia, electric blue, or bright gold stand out beautifully. Pastel shades also work very well, creating a soft and luminous contrast.

Gray or white hair Jewel tones (purple, cobalt blue, emerald) and metallics add vibrancy and sophistication. Gray and silver scrunchies, on the other hand, create a very elegant tone-on-tone effect.

According to your skin tone

Light skin Pastel tones and soft colors (pink, lavender, sky blue) harmonize without creating too much contrast. For a more defined effect, jewel tones like burgundy or bottle green also work very well.

Medium skin This is the most versatile tone: earth tones, mustard, coral, and terracotta enhance the natural warmth of medium skin, while jewel tones add a more sophisticated touch.

Dark skin Vibrant and saturated colors — orange, fuchsia, mustard yellow, turquoise — create a beautiful and luminous contrast. Gold and intense jewel tones also beautifully enhance this skin tone.

The golden rule: when in doubt, choose contrast

If your hair and skin share similar tones (e.g., light skin and blonde hair), a contrasting colored scrunchie prevents the look from appearing flat. If you already have a lot of natural contrast (dark skin and light hair, or light skin and dark hair), you can opt for more neutral tones without losing visual impact.

Each LIA.G scrunchie is handmade in limited batches — and because each piece is artisanal, tones may vary slightly between units, providing that unique touch that only handmade items can offer.
