FAQ
Are scrunchies good stocking fillers?
Yes. They’re compact, useful every day, and easy to tailor to someone’s style. Our velvet scrunchies feel premium thanks to recycled materials, careful construction, and UK manufacturing, so they land as a truly thoughtfully chosen gift.
What are the best eco-friendly gifts under £20 (UK)?
Our SWIRL ruffle scrunchies (£20) and ICON velvet scrunchies (£15) are made from recycled materials and arrive in plastic-free packaging. They’re designed for longevity and gentle on hair, so they’re sustainable in both materials and use.
Which Newt scrunchie is best for fine vs. thick hair?
Fine/fragile hair: ICON’s smooth recycled velvet offers a soft grip with minimal tension.
Thick/voluminous hair: SWIRL’s ruffle adds volume and hold, and the wider surface area distributes pressure more comfortably.
Do velvet scrunchies reduce breakage?
Velvet’s soft pile reduces friction compared with standard elastics. Less friction = less snagging and fewer flyaways. Many customers use velvet scrunchies for sleep buns or low ponytails because they remove smoothly without tugging.
How should I care for a velvet scrunchie?
Spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. If needed, hand-wash cool and air-dry away from direct heat. Fluff gently once dry to revive the velvet pile. Avoid twisting when wet.
Is there gift packaging?
All items ship in plastic-free, recycled, recyclable and compostable packaging. If you’re gifting directly, you can add a note at checkout (where available) or email hello@newtlondon.com and we’ll do our best to help.
Where are Newt scrunchies made?
All our products are designed in London and printed and made in the UK in small batches.
What are the best sustainable gift ideas under £20 (UK)?
Our scrunchies are a great pick: they’re made from recycled materials, printed and sewn in the UK (lower transport miles), and arrive in plastic-free packaging. For £15–£20 gifts, try the ICON recycled-velvet scrunchies (£15) for everyday wear or the SWIRL ruffle scrunchies (£20) for a dressier look—both are gentle on hair and designed to last.
