Female hairstyles of the 90s: features and types

The fashion of the 90s was unique and inimitable. However, the styling and hairstyles of the time today are back in our lives. At first they were demonstrated by models on the catwalks, and today they can often be seen on ordinary streets. What hairstyles are worth remembering and recreating on yourself, and what should be forgotten at all - read below.

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

• huge tails on the crown with a pile, while the ends of the hair could easily hang their tails, and be tucked inside the gum;
• curls of various sizes and diameters;
• thick bangs, laid up, sideways or just straight;
• torn ends;
• huge bouffant;
• carelessness and carelessness;
• lightness and romance;
• the presence of strands of hair, painted 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 their hair became just stone. If the special styling product was not at hand, then at home a highly concentrated sugar syrup was made and the hair was already sprinkled onto 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. In this case, fashion for women of the older generation was usually dictated by actresses from foreign serials, or rather, their on-screen heroines. The youth acted according to the principle: the brighter and more unusual - the better.

Fashionable hairstyles were worn and the inhabitants, and pop stars. But today, looking at the majority of their styling, it just doesn’t fit in my head - how such a thing could have been done!

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

No matter what they say, and in the 90s short haircuts were very popular with women. In particular, thanks to the amazing Demi Moore. But do not think that having a small 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, combing a large round brush from the top to the forehead. The hair on the temples and the back of the head was left straight. A big plus of this installation is the speed and ease of creation, and most importantly - it was not necessary to use any fixing means.
• Tousledness. Simple and fast hairstyle. Wet hair is dried with a hair dryer, with strands of hair lift up across the head. When the curls are completely dry, they are again beaten with their fingertips and carefully sprayed with varnish. Here it is important not to pour the styling products - otherwise it will not be easy and beautiful tousled, but a pile of straw on the head.
• Bulky styling and smooth bangs. Trend suitable for women aged and those who have a small excess weight.With the help of a hair dryer and a round comb, the hair is thoroughly dried, lifting it from the roots. The bangs, on the contrary, are not wound on a comb, but pulled out. The volume over the entire surface of the head, and especially at the top of the head, allows you to extend the oval of the face, and the smooth bang only emphasizes the beauty of the eyes and cheekbones.
• Wet effect. This hair styling of short length is similar to the first option. The only difference is that the hair is first smeared with hair gel, varnish or sugar syrup, and only then combed. Hair dryer in this case is not used.

The owners of medium curls have much wider space for creating styles in the style of the last century. The first step to stand out from the crowd will help hair coloring.

• Shatush. Many believe that this is a newfangled phenomenon, but this is far from the case. In the mid-90s of the last century, Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Enniston walked with such coloring. Today, choosing a shatush, you should give preference to the most natural tones and colors.
• Bright coloring of individual strands. Curls of hair with a width of 2 to 4 cm are dyed 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 were only clarified, today they can be darkened on the contrary. It all depends on personal preference.

Now let's talk about styling. Here it is worth remembering three simple rules: volume, pomp and height.

The most popular and vivid representatives of the hairstyles of that time were as follows.

• Perm. There are many variations - from many small curls, to large and smooth curls. Older women are recommended to use smooth curls of medium size, and African volume can be created for young girls.
• Laying "Malvina" very popular since the mid 90s. The bang was slightly combed and tied at the crown with a thin elastic band, while the rest of the strands simply framed the face. This arrangement is out of time and space, its creation does not take much time and effort, and does not require the use of styling tools.
• Bouffant: the higher and bigger it is, the better. With particular zeal we combed the hair on the top and sides of the head, and then slightly smoothed it. The result was a very lush and noticeable styling from a distance.
• Hair "petty devil". To create it, you need to tie a lot of small tails all over the head - they have to stick out in different directions. In the early 90s, this hairstyle was particularly relevant not only among the female population of Russia, but also among young men.
• Bang-roller. The emphasis in this hairstyle is focused on the strands covering the forehead. The bang was wound on a large round comb and dried with a hairdryer - as a result, a roller was obtained, which was fixed with varnish. The remaining curls are either collected in the tail, or in a bun.
• Windproof bangs - she was especially loved by young girls. To do this, the locks on the forehead lightly combed and laid on its side, and then poured heavily with varnish or sugar syrup. Thus, it turned out that the bangs were combed to the side and strongly raised at the roots. This styling bangs used for loose hair or collected in the tail.

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.

• Corrugated. And today this 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 one should not forget about the use of special thermal protective agents.
• "Lambs" - small curls. To create them, all the hair was braided into small braids and they were worn for several days, and when they let it go, they got lots of sheep.
• Tails This includes the "Leaning Tower of Pisa", and a tail with a pile or even a pony-tail styling. Combines these options for laying one - pomp and location of the tail on the top or top of the head.
• "Nests" and "Babette". The principle of creation - the collected hair in a bun and a large bouffant. In this case, "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 nape was collected in a bun and tied with an elastic band. And on top wrapped strands of hair - their own or false. They decorated this hairstyle with ribbons and bright hairpins and, of course, copiously sprayed with varnish. When choosing the Nest, several strands on the sides of the head and on the back of the head were left untouched - it was they who gave the hairstyle a special charm, carelessness and romance.

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

Without them, it is almost impossible to imagine a single hairstyle from the last century. No wonder: in the mid-90s, the Chinese market was literally flooded with Chinese jewelry and accessories, designed to create any type of styling.

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

• Chignons and overhead strands. They are still in demand, especially among older women. But then - it was tight and only synthetic accessories, the long wearing of which spoiled the hair and caused discomfort. It is worth noting that sometimes, instead of chignon, particularly resourceful Russian women used ordinary washcloth.
• Hairpins "click-click" and "crocodiles". A distinctive feature - the fragility and the abundance of sparkles. Such items were of various colors and sizes, and used them to staple bangs or individual curls.
• Springs - small up to 1 cm in length accessories in the form of a conventional spring with two small beads at the ends. They were used simply as decoration, but it was almost impossible to remove such accessories without a bundle of hair.
• Hairpins "flowers" and "butterfly". Small plastic products that both children and teenagers loved. With their help, a variety of styling was created: the larger and brighter these accessories were, the better.
• Headbands. Especially popular were wide accessories with a soft fabric surface. And of course, the peak of fashion were spotty colors.
• Bows and ribbons. Bows were fond of youth. But the tapes were especially loved by young girls and women - their popularity as accessories for hairstyles, just came to the peak of the mass hobbies of 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 regardless of the length and type of hair, every girl can look stylish and fashionable today.
