90s style bangs: a nostalgic trend
Born of lockdown
It’s hard to imagine popular images of the heroines of your favorite TV series of the 90s without bangs and more. Chopped bangs, high ponytails and 90s style in clothes. In this article we will look at the trend for bangs in the style of the 90s.
Asnoted in HJ magazine, this style is gaining momentum thanks to those women who decided to transform themselves with their own hands during quarantine, and, of course, celebrities. You'll undoubtedly have clients who seek professional help to try out this trend for themselves, so here are some tips.
During the period of its popularity, bangs were sparse, eyelash-length.
The look was very accessible and easy to do. It appealed to women of all ages, and young stars such as Britney Spears and Hilary Duff also adopted the look.
But the nostalgic bangs of the 1990s have been updated a bit
The length of the bangs remained the same. It is convenient because it can be easily styled so that the bangs easily merge with the rest of the hair. The 2020 version has less volume and a slightly denser texture, but with that sheer, sparse fringe effect.
Cos Sakkas, international creative director of TONI & GUY, is a fan of this 1990s look. He commented: "These bangs are perfect for younger clients as they end below the eyebrows, giving girls a youthful, fun and quirky look."
Noel Halligan of NOCO Hair is another industry figure supporting this trend. “What I really like about it is how easy it is to wear this haircut. Bangs are a great way to highlight a person's best features. It can really even improve your eye color. Bella Hadid's bangs are soft and highlight her eyes and cheekbones. This is suitable for hair that is naturally smooth or that often lends itself to heat styling.”
Don't be afraid to use this trend to bring your client's look to life. As Selena Gomez shows, '90s bangs look good with curly textures.
Not sure if bangs will suit your client?
Noel Halligan shares his tips on how to figure out if this haircut will suit your client's look. “When choosing bangs, it is important to consider the proportions of the face. If your eyes are smaller, you can use bangs to define them and highlight them. If someone has a small forehead, it is best to avoid bangs altogether. Choose a style that adds height and highlights the face by keeping hair out of the face. For a large forehead, you need to be careful that those bangs don't create a bad combination."
