- Hey everyone, it's Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles,
and today I have a, an interesting Fab Or Fail for you.
The thing I am going to be testing is called
Sleepy Time Hair Scrunchy.
Let me explain what this is.
It's not a scrunchy for making curls in your hair,
like, if they're drying, it's a scrunchy that's
supposed to help you maintain a blowout better, or curls.
So it's like, post-styled hair.
Helps it stay fresh, the curls.
So we're gonna test it.
I have the sleepy time one, I have an Amazon dupe,
and then I'm going to try it just
with a Heritage scrunchy one night,
pineapple-ing it on the top of my head,
because that's kind of typically what I do.
So we're gonna see if it actually makes difference
and which one we like better.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, so first I'm gonna show you what my curls look
like today, this is day two.
So this is what we're going for.
We're hoping for, in the morning tomorrow.
You can see my front pieces have just a little bit
of bend in them and kind of curl away.
Otherwise pretty good curls, not too tight, not too soft.
Kind of looks like this.
So it looks like a, this is padded.
So it kind of looks
like a rainbow attached to a more silky scrunchy.
I do like that it seems to be silk or satin.
It's a little confusing.
It does have a QR code for a video tutorial
which I think I'm gonna look up before I try it
because just based off the drawings and the instructions,
I'm confused.
I could guess, but I'm a little confused.
So I'm gonna watch the video.
It said you gather her into a ponytail using a brush,
but I pretty much just usually finger comb.
So get it up into a pretty high ponytail.
Then it said, take this part, wrap it around your wrist,
take it over, pull this.
So it was sitting forward, like this.
Then kind of did a- I gotta think about this.
Yeah. Like this.
So wrap it around,
and then around,
and around.
So all the ends are in.
I have layers.
Then it said, make a figure eight.
Figure eight with the scrunchy.
I don't think that's right.
This is one of those things that you gotta try.
You gotta do a couple times.
And then it probably feels like,
just like muscle memory, but.
Then it said wrap your hair.
So, wrapping my hair around the arch.
Check.
I think that's close.
I dunno.
I'm gonna watch the video again.
Chilling with my bun up,
waiting to see how it goes in the morning.
I think I'll wash my face too,
then I'm gonna go to bed.
(upbeat music)
- Morning guys.
Kay. So it's the next morning.
I slept in it all night.
I will tell you it was comfortable to sleep in,
like, it didn't bother me at night cuz it was
so far up on my head, but it is a little heavy,
so just as I was dozing off,
I remember thinking like, oh my hair hurts,
and kind of wanting to like, rip it outta my hair,
but I didn't.
It's definitely a little heavy.
We'll see this morning when I take it out
if it like ended up keeping the curls,
but also more importantly, if-
Okay, look.
Here's the thing.
I can tell right now.
It's okay.
Like it did okay.
But I think I could have gotten this just
by pulling my hair up out of my way with a normal scrunchy,
and my hair does kind of hurt.
You know how, if you have your hair pulled up the wrong way
for too long, like, kind of aches?
That's what it feels like right now.
I don't know.
I still think I could have gotten a similar effect
by just sleeping with a scrunchy.
So we're gonna test that for sure.
But this side I do feel like I'm gonna have to retouch
a little bit, like just touch up a few of these
top little curls.
Overall, I mean, I think it's okay.
My head does hurt.
I'm gonna put some dry shampoo.
See what I can do.
Probably retouch a few curls.
I mean, overall curls, just straight out,
I would give it a, I don't know, a six maybe, out of 10.
I just think I could do equally as well,
if not better by just using a scrunchy.
That's my initial knee jerk reaction.
We'll see when I actually use a scrunchy.
So it's another night testing the hair, the sleepy ties.
And the, tonight we're gonna test the generic version.
Now, if you guys look at 'em,
they literally look almost identical.
So I cannot see- maybe the generic one is the
tiniest bit smaller, like through this arch part.
But if you actually feel the foam inside,
they're much more similar looking.
It just has like, this one has extra brown fabric that's
not full and this one does not.
But other than that, they look really identical.
And in fact, the Amazon dupe literally took
like the imagery.
It's like the exact same imagery off of the original one.
So they definitely are mimicking as
intentionally as possible, so.
You remember, the goal was scoop all the hair up.
I'm not going to brush it because that,
I felt like my head hurt last time when I did that.
Then you put this on.
So we're just gonna do what it said.
Put the hair around,
wrap the hair around,
wrap the hair around this,
twist it.
And pretty much ready to sleep and see what happens.
We'll see if my curls stay better looking than
they did last time.
Gonna find out.
(upbeat music)
- So it's really early in the morning.
I'm running out the door to the airport.
I am about to take this out and see what happened and I'm-
Phone doesn't wanna stay.
Yeah. See.
I just don't think it stayed curled that well.
I just- look, it's like totally uneven.
It sucks cuz I'm in a hurry and I'm gonna have to
redo my curls.
They should have looked like this, but everywhere.
And they don't.
Okay. Night three of trying something different.
Today, we're gonna just try a Heritage scrunchy.
Satin. We sell quite a few of these.
You can use any of them.
This is the first one I found.
You can see my hair.
This is actually day three hair.
And we're gonna do it like this tonight.
We're gonna do it like this,
and we're just gonna pull it into a pineapple basically,
on the top of my head.
So for this one, I'm just gonna loose-
loosey loose.
Like I don't want it super tight.
Just loose.
And then literally just kind of
pineapple it on my head like this,
and we're gonna sleep with it like this
and see what happens versus all the rolly-rolly.
The point- the trick is like a loose scrunchy is better,
cuz then it's not gonna crease your hair as much.
You know?
We're gonna go with that.
We'll see what happens in the morning.
(upbeat music)
Hey, I'm awake.
My makeup's on.
I'm dressed for the day.
And it's time to see how the hair fared.
This will be a day four from my hair.
So this is actually, this is probably a little longer
than I would normally go
because it is definitely looking flatter
and a little greasy.
It's time for to wash it tonight for sure.
So dry shampoo through my roots.
Overall, you can see that like, the curls did better,
and stayed more in place than the other two for sure.
This is definitely, I would,
I would wear this like this today.
If I were being really picky,
I might curl this one little piece, but it's actually,
I can just kind of do it with my fingers like that.
And it's looking pretty good.
And I'll just run some dry shampoo through it.
Throw on my jewelry and be out the door.
So for me, the winner of the three is definitely
just a scrunchy.
Just a silly old normal scrunchy
that you can pineapple your hair into at night.
There's my verdict guys.
I would give the Sleepy Tie-
I like the creativity.
I like where it was heading.
Maybe it would work on some people.
Maybe I just need more practice.
But for me personally,
because I get such good results with just using a scrunchy
that would be my preferred method.
Also, I didn't feel like it hurt to sleep on as much.
And didn't like kind of pull on my hair as much.
So there's my verdict.
I'm gonna give it a thumbs down.
Sad, very creative though.
