From cute to cool, and from simple to sexy, these seven looks inspired by ’90s hairstyles are versatile and easy to create
Get the best from an iconic decade with these ’90 hairstyles. They were popular decades back and now they are making a comeback.
1. HIGH PONYTAIL WITH SCRUNCHIE
The high ponytail was one of the signature looks of the 1990s and is now being worn by celebrities like Kim Kardashian-West and Hailey Bieber.
For this sexy look,
- brush your hair back so the front is sleek and smooth
- tie your hair into a high ponytail behind the crown of your head
- add some volume or length with a clip-in ponytail extension, then hide the clip with a cute scrunch and finally
- curl the ends of your ponytail for soft finish.
2. BANTU KNOTS
Bantu knots are created by twisting hair around itself to form coiled buns. This ’90s inspired hairstyle is fun and the best protective hairstyle for Afro-textured hair.
3. CURLS WITH BUTTERFLY CLIPS
One of the most iconic hair accessories of that decade must surely be butterfly clips. It is gorgeous to wear them with curls, gripping the clips onto your hair.
This keeps it in place for a flirty, cute, and youthful ’90 hairstyle.
4. SIDE BUNS WITH SCRUNCHIES
Side buns were one of the biggest hair trends back then and today they’ve gone mainstream.
Give your side buns a soft feel with velvet scrunchies or opt for a vibrant colour or animal print to make your side buns stand out in the best way.
It’s the best look for a casual day at the mall and perfect for a cute selfie.
5. BOB WITH FRINGE AND BUTTERFLY CLIPS
You can never go wrong with colourful butterfly clips.
