The girls on the United States Olympic gymnastics team are setting trends in the beauty world. In addition to conquering us with their cat-eyeliner, Laurie Hernández and her companions, Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Madison Kocian and Gaby Douglas, have become icons of thousands of girls, young and not so young, in terms of hair.

Following the guidelines of their discipline, Olympic gymnasts must compete with their hair removed from their faces, which is why they wear gathered straps, pigtails, bows and an accessory that in the sports world seems to not go out of style: scrunchie.

Equally loved and hated, this signature '80s coletero has undergone several resuscitation attempts in recent years, and Olympic fever has contributed to his return.

It has rained a lot since the protagonists of the Heathers dazzled with their long manes and their XXL scrunchies, even since Carrie Bradshow had a serious discussion with one of her partners about this hair bands that, according to the character, no woman in New York would put.

But Carrie was wrong. Not only the most international New Yorker, Jennifer López has brought one - multi-colored as well-; Also other celebrities such as Selena Gómez, Rita Ora and even the stylish Diane Kruger, have succumbed on occasion to the charms of this accessory.

Perfect for comfortable and casual hairstyles, these retro-styled pigtails are no longer missing in any store, and there are models for all tastes: prints, with different textures, colors, and sizes. But be careful, if we do not choose well how to combine them, we run the risk of appearing out of date.

We propose different options to incorporate the scrunchie into your collection of coleteros. And remember, give it a modern look by using it in a tousled bun, or at the end of a long ponytail or braid, rather than at the base of a high ponytail as used in the '80s.
