The ’90s hair trends are back and we are loving it. The 1990s beauty trends were majorly focused on hair, if you recall, so many interesting ways of wearing your mane were explored during this decade such as ponytails, pigtails, tiny braids, curls, dreadlocks, colourful hair extensions, the possibilities were endless. We did not realise back then but the process of cherishing your mane and actually dressing it up to serve the occasion was a daily ritual and effort was put into it unlike the later years when flowing hair became popular and we soon forgot how to self-style our own locks into achievable and trendy hairdos. But the nineties didn’t only have school girl do’s, even their flowing locks had a lot of oomph and edge to them. We take you down memory lane to see five nineties inspired hair trends from your favourite nineties movies to give you a glance at the hair trends that are doing the rounds today.
The Boyfriend Bob
This particular short haircut is trending in 2021 with Indian and international celebs rocking the look. It is sleek and very nineties with softly trimmed ends and sharp structure. This cut first debuted as popular in the movie Something About Mary seen on the stunning Cameron Diaz.
The Half Up Style
These days this hairstyle is the best choice for work and play. It instantly lifts your facial features lending you a youthful appearance. It also gives you the best of both worlds with the control from tying your locks and the beautiful natural texture from letting your hair down. This har trend was seen on the character Bianca Stratford in the movie ‘Ten things I Hate About You’.
Wild Curls
Embracing your natural hair texture is so nineties because that decade is when people were inspired to do so thanks to Julia Roberts in the movie ‘Pretty Woman’. Her natural texture bore a mixture of curl patterns; her hair was big, voluminous, richly textured and was left loose showing off how gorgeous and naturally beautiful it is.
Twisted Half Up Style
In the flick ‘William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet’, Juliet wore her hair in a twisted half up style at the party where she met Romeo. Her hair was enchanting and went beautifully with her angel costume. The hairstyle had twisted tendrils from the front that were pinned in a circle at the crown.
Fringe BobThis blunt bob cut with a straight fringe has been a choice for fashionistas and beauty aficionados ever since the nineties thanks to the character Mia Wallace in the cult favourite movie ‘Pulp Fiction’. From halloween costumes dedicated to this character to wigs being worn this is a popular style. Those with the right hair type are even going in for the cut and it is totally worth it because this style is classic.
