The Care Beyond Elastic
Ordinary hair ties are often treated as disposable. True mulberry silk is not.
Silk is admired for a rare balance of smoothness and substance — a surface that glides, a density that holds volume, and a presence that feels like quiet luxury in the hand. Its value does not come from logos. It comes from the fiber and the making.
Three signatures define Velatmos mulberry silk craft:
100% Mulberry Silk
A natural protein fiber with a soft, luminous hand — chosen for reduced friction against hair compared with common synthetic elastics.
30-Momme Density
Substantial silk with body and drape — not thin disposable cloth. Momme is the language of silk weight; around 30 signals lasting presence.
Pillow-Cloud Comfort
Plush, windmill volume that feels soft at the nape — secure enough for everyday styling, gentle enough for long wear.
| Ordinary elastic / synthetic | Mulberry silk craft | |
|---|---|---|
| Surface | High friction, snagging risk | Smooth silk glide on hair |
| Crease marks | Often leaves sharp bends | Softer hold, fewer harsh marks |
| Fabric | Thin polyester or rubber-only | 100% mulberry silk · ~30 momme |
| Inner loop | Joined elastic that snaps early | Seamless / refined loop for durability |
| Presence | Utility disposable | Quiet luxury hair ritual |
A Fiber Made for Soft Hold
Mulberry silk is spun from the cocoons of Bombyx mori silkworms — a fiber long valued for sheen, smoothness, and a cool, refined hand.
Against hair, that smoothness matters. Instead of tugging like bare rubber, silk reduces surface friction. Paired with generous volume, the scrunchie distributes pressure more gently around the ponytail or bun.
This is why silk sits naturally in quiet luxury rituals: morning light, linen textures, and small objects that care as much as they decorate.
From Fiber to Windmill Form
Silk craft for scrunchies is a sequence of choices — each protecting softness, density, and lasting wear.
Silk Selection · 100% Mulberry
We begin with genuine mulberry silk — not silk-blend face fabrics. The goal is a true protein surface against the hair.
Density · Around 30 Momme
Higher momme brings body, drape, and durability. Thin low-momme cloth may look shiny in photos, but feels empty in the hand.
Windmill Volume · Pillow Soft
Gathered “windmill” construction creates cloud-like fullness — soft at the nape, visually refined, comfortable for long days.
Seamless Loop · Built to Last
A refined inner elastic reduces early snap points. Outer silk stays plush; inner strength stays quiet and durable.

Hair-Kind Benefits, Every Day
Craft is only meaningful when it improves how you style and care for hair.
Gentler on Hair
Smooth silk reduces the grab-and-tear feel of bare rubber — kinder for ponytails, half-ups, and overnight soft holds.
Fewer Harsh Creases
Distributed, cushioned hold helps leave softer bends than thin elastics — so hair releases with less of a “rubber ring” memory.
Comfort That Lasts
Pillow-like volume plus a durable inner loop: soft against the nape, resilient through daily wear.
Care is simple: gentle hand wash or delicate cycle in a mesh bag when needed; air dry away from high heat; store dry. Avoid harsh detergents and prolonged soaking in perfume or oils.
