’80s and ’90s Hairstyles are Trending

Dive into the dreamy wave of hair trends as we explore the comeback of iconic '80s and '90s hairstyles. Are your favorite retro looks back in vogue?
Do you remember the big and bold hair looks of the ’80s and ’90s? Well, they’re back and better than ever! The ’80s were famous for big perms and poofy hair. Now, these styles are back but with a new touch. Today’s perms look softer and fit right in with the styles we love now.
Remember the ’80s? It was all about going big. The bigger the hair, the better. People loved perms, which made their hair super curly and poofy. These were not just any curls; they were bold, big, and made a statement. But guess what? Perms are back! Today, they’re softer and more natural-looking, but they still give that fun, bouncy look. It’s like taking a bit of the ’80s fun and mixing it with today’s cool vibe.

In the ’90s, playing with hair color was a big deal too. Celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Drew Barrymore rocked super blonde and fun brown colors. Today, these bold colors are back, but with a modern touch. Hair experts use techniques like balayage and ombre to create these cool colors in a new way. It’s like painting your hair with the coolest colors from the past!
Now, let’s skate into the ’90s. This time was all about sleek, shiny hair. One of the most famous styles was the ‘Rachel’ cut, named after Jennifer Aniston’s character on “Friends.” It was a layered, bouncy look that everyone wanted. And now, it’s back in style! Modern hair stylists have given the Rachel cut a new twist, making it perfect for all kinds of hair. It’s less choppy and more flowing, which means everyone can rock this style.
