90s hairstyles are back with a bang. ( no pun intended) From the Rachel haircut worn by actress Jennifer Aniston in Friends to the butterfly clips fad. Let’s have a look at how to achieve classic 90’s celebrity styles for hair that are showing up everywhere again.
The Rachel
Made popular by Jennifer Aniston in her role in the 90’s show “Friends” it is impossible to talk about hair without a nod to the Rachel look. in fact, this could easily be the favorite 90’s trend of all. The cut features cascading volume on a heavily layered face-frame, though the version these days is with added fringes and shorter layers.
The style was loved by all because of its super-flattering dimensions.
Butterfly Clips
Butterfly clips provide a cute accent to an otherwise casual look and were the ultimate hair accessory in the 90’s. You can use the clips to hold back fringe or on the base of pigtails or even to decorate an accent braid. Incorporating these whimsical butterfly clips in any hairstyle will create the 90’s feel in an instant. You can go bold by using a mix of different colors or only the ones that match your hair.
The Power Ponytail
A ponytail is one of the most versatile of all hairstyles doing the rounds out there as they work equally well for a workout as well as a festive party. While a simple ponytail can tie your hair without looking into a mirror, if you are looking for an upgrade a few styling tips like the height of your ponytail can help serve up a casual and also a formal look as the one worn by Tyra Banks in 1990.
Crimped Hair
Whether you have lived through the 90’s hair or it is something you have only come across in pictures a notable throwback hairstyle which has made a comeback is crimped hair. At first crimped hair may seem silly, but when done right it look classy and chic. You can even add a few strands in a ponytail if you do not want to crimp the whole head. For a beachy wave modern look, work in bigger crimps versus tiny ones.
Micro Bangs/ Fringe
Micro fringe, once synonymous with the grunge hair look of the 90’s, are enjoying their moments under the sun and have made a strong comeback these days by giving a bold update to the strands. This cut works well with both curly and straight hair, but make sure you use an invisible dry shampoo for quick results and to keep grease at bay. This waterless product absorbs oil and impurities to leave behind a soft and natural finish.
Accent Braids
A most common and sought after theme among the 90’s hairstyles were face-framing accent braids that were actually loose hair strands in front that were twisted into tiny braids. A celebrity like Halley Belber was often seen sporting this hairstyle and the look rocks even today. To imitate the 90’s look, leave two strands out from your updo and twist them into braids.
Pixie Cut
There are few hairstyles of the 90’s era than the iconic pixie cut made famous by Halle Berry and still going stronger than ever today. The pixie can be straightened or parted to the side or even slicked down. No matter which style you prefer, use a strong dry molding wax as your go-to product for creating separation and soft definition leaving it matte and free of residue.
The Blunt Bob
As worn by Drew Barrymore in Boys on the Side (1995), this elegant 90’s hairstyle has also made a strong comeback, though the version today is a bit shorter than it was years back. The style is not very precise and therefore requires hardly any styling except a side tuck behind the year. Just apply a light hair oil with high-quality ingredients that work with your hair’s natural structure and also keeps the flyways in check.
Middle Part
The polished middle part look, made popular by Angela Chase, is now back again and making even bigger waves than before. For short hair, it is advisable to stay away from too much volume and the key to finishing the style is by bringing a wet look today. To cut down the frizz, try a polishing serum which is light-weight and silicone based to help smoothen hair and tame frizz and also acts as a barrier from heat styling. Notably, it also provides moisture
and nourishment to damaged or dry hair and make it look more manageable and healthy.
