Best Eco-Friendly Fabrics for Making Scrunchies

In a world where fast fashion leaves behind a heavy footprint, conscious brands like Ceyloria are choosing better—better fabrics, better choices, better futures. When it comes to scrunchies, not all materials are created equal. The fabric you choose touches your hair and skin every day, so it should be safe, soft, and sustainable.

Here’s a guide to the best eco-friendly fabrics for scrunchies, all of which align with global sustainability standards and ethical fashion practices.

1. 🍃 Cotton (Organic or OEKO-TEX® Certified)

Why we love it:

• Naturally breathable and gentle on hair
• Hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive scalps
• Biodegradable and compostable
• Available in GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or OEKO-TEX® certified forms

Ceyloria’s take: We use soft, premium cotton that’s ethically sourced—because we care about what goes on your head and what goes back into the Earth.

2. 🌾 Linen

Why it’s a winner:

• Made from the flax plant (which needs less water and zero pesticides!)
• Strong, long-lasting, and naturally textured
• Biodegradable and antimicrobial
• Perfect for minimal, nature-inspired styles

Global standard: Linen is considered one of the most sustainable fibers in the world—its entire production process is low-impact.

3. 🌱 Bamboo Viscose (Eco-Friendly Processing Only)

Why it’s trending:

• Ultra-soft with a silky feel
• Naturally antibacterial and moisture-wicking
• Strong yet lightweight, perfect for thicker hair
• Comes from a fast-growing plant with a low water footprint

Sustainability note: Look for closed-loop bamboo processing methods to ensure it’s truly eco-friendly.

4. ♻️ Recycled Polyester (RPET)

Not fully natural, but still ethical:

• Made from recycled plastic bottles
• Diverts waste from landfills and oceans
• Durable and long-lasting
• Best when blended with natural fibers

When to use: Ideal for fashion-forward collections that aim to reduce plastic waste while maintaining durability.

5. 🌍 TENCEL™ Lyocell

Luxury meets sustainability:

• Produced from sustainably sourced wood pulp (usually eucalyptus)
• Uses a closed-loop process that recycles water and solvents
• Incredibly soft, breathable, and biodegradable
• Certified by EU Ecolabel and FSC®

Ideal for: Premium or limited-edition scrunchie lines

🚫 Fabrics to Avoid

1. Conventional polyester: Non-biodegradable and fossil fuel–based
2. Synthetic satin/nylon blends: May cause static, hair breakage, and environmental damage
3. Low-quality blends: Often chemically treated and not breathable

💚 Why Fabric Choice Matters

At Ceyloria, we believe your scrunchie should care for your hair and the planet.
By choosing natural, biodegradable, and ethically sourced materials, we ensure:

• Less breakage and more shine for your hair
• Lower environmental impact
• Better working conditions for those who make the fabric

Every scrunchie you wear is a small step toward a softer world.

✨ Final Thoughts

So, next time you tie your hair, ask yourself: Is my scrunchie kind to me and the Earth?
