18 Gloriously Cringeworthy Things All '00s Girls Did To Their Hair

    Being very liberal with the use of butterfly hair clips.

    1. Feeling indecisive about your hair, so curling, straightening and crimping it.

    2. Putting your hair into a bun and then skewering it with hair chopsticks.

    3. Getting some chunky highlights, the dip-dye of the '00s.

    4. Using a zig zag headband, so you could get those lovely marks in your hair.

    5. Or keeping your hair out of your face by tying the front into a little ponytail, like this.

    6. Using Bumpits to give the appearance that you have a giant skull, or big hair.

    7. Having a fringe so sweeping and emo that it obscured your vision for the entire time you had it.

    8. Backcombing your hair within an inch of its life during the scene kid days.

    9. Perhaps with addition of these placed randomly throughout your hair.

    10. Slicking back your hair with gel to achieve the sleekest of high ponytails.

    11. Although occasionally pulling a few strands forward to feel less exposed.

    12. Or opting for the now-extinct low-slung side ponytail.

    13. Wearing a bandana, with bonus points if it was colourful and patterned.

    14. Taking time out of your day to make your parting look like a zig zag.

    15. Excessively straightening your hair until you forgot what it looked like in its natural state.

    16. And sometimes using your straighteners to dramatically flick out the ends of your hair.

    17. Braiding random bits of your hair with one of these just because you could.

    18. And making use of butterfly clips. Many, many butterfly clips.
