Women's hairstyles of the 90s: features and types

The fashion of the 90s was unique and inimitable. However, the styling and hairstyles of that time today are again returning to our lives. At first they were demonstrated by models on the catwalks, and today they can often be seen on ordinary streets. What hairstyles should be remembered and recreated on yourself, and the existence of which should be completely forgotten - read below.

Russia, especially in the early 90s, was different from many countries. It is a wide variety of women's hairstyles. Our compatriots could easily be identified precisely by their styling. The main varieties of hairstyles were:

• huge tails on the crown with a pile, while the ends of the hair could both calmly hang their tail and be tucked inside the gum;
• curls of various sizes and diameters;
• thick bangs laid up, sideways or just straight;
• torn ends;
• huge fleece;
• negligence and carelessness;
• lightness and romance;
• the presence of strands of hair dyed in unusually bright and sometimes even poisonous-neon colors.

Of course, do not forget about the abundance of varnish. They generously watered their hair until the hair became just stony. If a special styling product was not at hand, then at home highly concentrated sugar syrup was made and hair was already sprayed with it.

The fashion of the 90s dictated harsh conditions: the brighter and more unusual the styling was, the more modern and sophisticated the girl was considered. At the same time, fashion for older women was usually dictated by actresses from foreign series, or rather, their on-screen heroines. Young people acted on the principle: the brighter and more unusual - the better.

Fashionable hairstyles were worn by ordinary people and pop stars.But today, looking at most of their styling, it just doesn’t fit in my head - how could such a thing be done!

A great advantage of the hairstyles of the last century for girls is the fact that among them you can easily choose styling for both long and short hair. The main thing is to make the right choice, and then the hairstyle from the last century will again look fashionable and relevant, and most importantly - will help emphasize the dignity of the face, neck and décolleté.

Whoever said anything, but in the 90s short haircuts were very popular among women. In particular, thanks to the amazing Demi Moore. But do not think that having a short hair length, it is impossible to create a unique styling of the last century. There are several options.

• Smooth styling. To do this, wet hair was dried by combing with a large round brush from the crown to the forehead. The hair on the temples and the back of the head was left straight. A big plus of this styling is the speed and simplicity of creation, and most importantly - no fixing means were needed.
• Disheveled. Simple and fast hairstyle. Wet hair is dried with a hairdryer, while strands of hair are lifted up all over the head. When the curls are completely dry, they are once again beaten with your fingertips and carefully sprayed with varnish. It is important here not to overfill the styling products - otherwise it will turn out not a light and beautiful disheveled, but a pile of straw on the head.
• Volumetric styling and smooth bangs. A trend that suits women aged and those who are slightly overweight. Using a hair dryer and a round comb, the hair is thoroughly dried, lifting them at the roots. The bangs, on the contrary, are not wound onto a comb, but pulled out. The volume on the entire surface of the head, and especially on the crown allows you to stretch the oval of the face, and smooth bangs only emphasizes the beauty of the eyes and cheekbones.
• Wet effect. This short hair styling is similar to the first option. The only difference is that the hair is first lubricated with hair gel, varnish or sugar syrup, and then combed. A hairdryer is not used in this case.

Owners of medium curls have much wider scope for creating stylings in the style of the last century. First of all, hair coloring will help to stand out from the crowd.

• Shatush. Many believe that this is a new-fangled phenomenon, but this is far from the case. In the mid-90s of the last century, Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Enniston walked with such staining. Today, choosing a shuttle, it is worth giving preference to the most natural tones and colors.
• Bright staining of individual strands. Curls of hair with a width of 2 to 4 cm are painted in a wide variety of colors - yellow, green, red or orange.
• Highlighting. And again, the trend is not modern, but from the end of the last century. But if earlier strands only lightened, today they can be darkened on the contrary. It all depends on personal preference.

Now let's talk about styling. Here you should remember three simple rules: volume, splendor and height.

The most popular and brightest representatives of hairstyles of that time were the following.

• Perm. There are many variations - from many small curls to large and flowing curls. Smooth, medium-sized curls are recommended for women at a more advanced age, and African girls can also be created for young girls.
• Stacking "Malvina" very popular since the mid 90s.The bangs were slightly combed and tied at the crown with a thin rubber band, while the rest of the strands simply framed the face. Such styling is timeless and spaceless, its creation does not take much time and effort, and does not require the use of styling means.
• Bouffant: the taller and bulkier the better. They combed the hair on the top of the head and on the sides of the head with special zeal, and then lightly smoothed it. As a result, the styling was very magnificent and noticeable from afar.
• Hairstyle "Little demon." To create it, you need to tie a lot of small tails all over the head - they should stick out in different directions. In the early 90's, such a hairstyle was especially relevant not only among the female population of Russia, but also among young guys.
• Bang-roller. The emphasis in such a hairstyle is concentrated precisely on the strands covering the forehead. The bangs were wound on a large round comb and dried with a hairdryer - in the end, a roller was formed, which was fixed with varnish. The remaining curls were either collected in a tail or in a bundle.
• Windproof bangs - She was especially loved by young girls. To do this, strands on the forehead were slightly combed and laid to one side, and then abundantly watered with varnish or sugar syrup. Thus, it turned out that the bangs were combed to the side and raised a lot at the roots. This bangs styling was used for loose hair or ponytail.

Owners of such curls, in principle, could create the same hairstyles as the fair sex with short and, especially, long strands. But they also had their favorites.

• Corrugation. And today, such a hairstyle can be seen in young girls - it is created using a special ironing. So, if you still have it somewhere, it's time to think about it. But we should not forget about the use of special thermal protective agents.
• “Lamb” - small curls. To create them, all the hair was braided into small braids and worn them for several days, and when they were opened, they received many lambs.
• Tails. This includes the “Leaning Tower of Pisa”, and a fleece tail, or even horse-tail styling. These styling options have one thing in common - the splendor and location of the tail itself on the crown or at the top of the head.
• "Nests" and "Babette." The principle of creation - collected hair in a bun and a large pile. At the same time, “Babette” was chosen mainly by women over 40 years old. But the "Nest" and today is very popular among girls and young women. The principle of creation is simple - the hair on the back of the head was collected in a bun and tied with an elastic band. And on top they wrapped in locks of hair - their own or overhead. They decorated such a hairstyle with ribbons and bright hairpins and, of course, sprinkled abundantly with varnish. When choosing the “Nest” styling, several strands on the sides of the head and on the back of the head were left untouched - it was they who betrayed the hairstyle with a special charm, carelessness and romance.

The style of the 90s for women's styling and hairstyles is not only brighter, more voluminous and more magnificent, but also simpler, more unusual and faster.

Without them, it is almost impossible to imagine a single hairstyle from the last century. It is not surprising: after all, it was in the mid-90s that the Chinese market was literally flooded with Chinese jewelry and accessories designed to create styling of any kind.

The range of such items for hair was quite wide, however, our compatriots most often chose the following.

• Hairpieces and false locks. They are still in demand today, especially among older women. But then - it was tight and only synthetic accessories, prolonged wearing of which spoiled the hair and caused discomfort. It is worth noting here that sometimes instead of a chignon, especially resourceful Russian women used an ordinary washcloth.
• Click-Clack and Croc-Hair Clips. A distinctive feature is the fragility and an abundance of sparkles. Such objects were of various colors and sizes, and used them to stab bangs or individual curls.
• Springs - small accessories up to 1 cm long in the form of a regular spring with two small beads at the ends. They were used simply as a decoration, but it was almost impossible to remove such accessories without a bun of hair.
• Hairpins “flowers” ​​and “butterflies”. Small plastic products that were loved by both children and adolescents. With their help, a variety of styling was created: the more and brighter there were such accessories on the head, the better.
• Headbands. Wide accessories with a soft fabric surface were especially popular. And of course, the peak of fashion was spotty colors.
• Bows and ribbons. Young people were fond of bows. But the tapes were especially loved by young girls and women - their popularity, as accessories for hairstyles, just came to the peak of mass enthusiasm for home aerobics.

A variety of styling and hairstyles of the end of the last century are gaining popularity today. Their creation does not require much time and effort, but at the same time, regardless of the length and type of hair, each girl can look stylish and fashionable today.
