If the past few years in beauty have taught us anything, it's that just about any trend will come back in style after enough time has passed. While the 90’s and 00’s biggest trends have been dominating runway shows and social media feeds, the '80s are entering fashion and beauty spheres as the latest decade to emulate, especially as we enter 2021 with a longing to try something new. The volume, crimps, and curls of '80s hair are getting a refresh- and we’re all here for it!
Here are five looks to try this season that are fresh in the trend book, inspired by the 80s fashion:
Curly bangs
The '80s were known for their abundance of curly hairstyles, and bangs were no exception. If your hair is naturally curly, ditch the straightener and let your bangs dry natural, teasing them slightly to blend them in with the rest of your hair.
Mega volume
Besides curls, the decade of extravagance was known for its big hair, so get your hairspray and teasing brush ready. If you're worried about damaging your hair, consider adding volumizing products and velcro rollers to your routine.
Crimped Hair
Crimping your hair is an easy way to add some extra volume and thanks to the abundance of hot tools at our disposal, there's so many variations to try. Use a classic crimping iron for tiny crinkle curls or a crimper with larger rods to achieve beach-ready mermaid waves.
High Ponies
Although Ariana Grande is the high pony queen of our time, the hairstyle dominated the '80s both as a full updo and its half-up half-down variation, the "whale spout." Brownie points if you tie it up with a scrunchie!
Feathered Layers
Blunt cuts will always be en vogue, but adding layers to your hair—especially around the face—allows for the opportunity to play with flattering shapes. Style them by blow drying with a round brush for big, fluffy curls.
If you’re looking for a change, retro is your go-to this season! With the wide variety of styling tools available, creating these looks is made incredibly easy now. So, What are you waiting for?
