Here’s supermodel Cindy Crawford in a tumbling updo.
Tendrils of flowing tresses frame her face with piles of curls up on top.
Gelled Curls – 1989
Enter hair gel. In the days of Depp, hairstyles all over were slicked-down and sleeked-up.
Julia Roberts is showing off her “wet-look,” as we called it in the 80s, with long but casual ringlets.
Regal Short Cut -1990
Princess Di, the most royal princess of all, influenced countless women to go short.
Her distinguished crop, created for her by her stylist Sam McKnight, helped make her one of the most influential fashion icons of the century.
Grunge Hair -1992
Grunge hair upended highly stylized big hair in exchange for hairstyles that call for sleeping on it for a night and finger combing in the morning.
It’s somewhat similar to Madonna’s messy-sexy bleached-blond look but other than that it leaves the Eighties behind.
Box Braids - 1993
Box braids hit the scene in 1993. In that year, Janet Jackson showed them off while sharing the big screen with Tupac in Poetic Justice. Also, that same year, Jamaican musician Patra debuted her first album wearing the long rope-like braids.
The traditional style from Africa had officially made its way to U.S. fashion trends.
