Fashions change almost imperceptibly when it comes to hair. Most of us don’t register every shift in styles until we look at an image from a decade or so ago and think, goodness, it really was different then. And like everything else in fashion, trends are circular; we return to variants of a bob, say, but the new iteration takes on our current tastes – nowadays, the look is tailored the individual rather than the other way round.
All of which is a long way of saying that the Nineties are back with us, and so to is its hair. There are the Gallaghers’ pudding bowl cuts and heavy fringes for the boys – but if you don’t have the eyebrows, you’re only halfway there. For the girls, there’s the All Saints look, which was laid back, effortless, with a layered bob and cool tones or block colour. It seems now very much of its time but this was Girl Power in hair. Besides, effortless and laid back still sounds like a good way to go.
