Most Popular 90s Hairstyles

The 90s were a period when fashion trends and hair trends go hand in hand. There were so many new ways to style your hair, and not just for long hair! Pixie cuts became super popular again (also thanks to celebrities) and women were suddenly not afraid of chopping their hair short.

The 90s were a gold era for highlights – this period was dominated by blonde highlights in all the shades you can think off, including chunky highlights. Even ladies with darker hair were not left behind and were rocking highlights in brandy and light chocolate colors. Wild waves were tamed by pretty feminine accessories like small butterfly clips or colored hair clips.
