#1: Crimped Hair

Melissa Joan Hart would say: “If you didn’t rock crinkled hair in the ninetieth — then you weren’t living”. Crimping was popular because people wanted to look unique, making bold statements every day. And they liked new hair styling tools called crimping irons! While the trend was definitely overdone back in the day, crimping just a few pieces of your ‘do is subtle and playful. It’s also a perfect nod to the best decade.

#11: Tiny Braids

Pop stars like Brandy Norwood and Janet Jackson truly revolutionized the way girls wear braids today. Each braid was so tiny they really resembled a thick strand of hair and were worn very long for a sexy look. Choosing something pretty and complex like braiding hairstyles is a classic way to wear your hair, and it means one of our favorite trends will continue to live on! Fortunately, we have a lot of braided hairstyles to choose from.

#13: Layered Ringlets

It goes without saying Mariah Carey was a part of ’90s culture; in fact, we might not be stretching the truth when we say she was the heart and soul of most of our hairstyle inspiration. It’s only natural that Mariah’s ‘do was influential for layered ringlets. The look not only caught on but has persisted through the decades. Women have been rocking their natural, voluminous ringlets and they can think of a pop princess for making it all happen.
