9 Hairstyles From 20 Years Ago That Should Totally Make A Comeback

You won't want to wait until Thursday to enjoy these throwbacks!

The iconic look that had hairstylists across the globe imitating. Those face-framing layers caught our attention and undeniably go down as one of the most talked-about hairstyles of the 1990s.

A one-of-a-kind hairstyle of this era — the twisted and spiked-up look had girls standing in front of their mirrors for hours trying to perfect. And who could forget accessorizing each twist with those ~fashionably forward~ butterfly clips?!

The character who epitomized natural sass and sophistication (that most wanted to emulate) also had beautifully long tousled curls that signified the legendary style of that time.

Let's be honest: No high hair was complete without the era-defining accessory of a scrunchie. Possibly one of the more achievable looks of the time, a high ponytail required just two things: to be held up by a signature scrunchie and to be pulled all the way over to the other side of your head.

Who could deny those wispy bangs made relevant by teen heartthrob Kelly Kapowski? That long and feathered hair was the quintessential girl-next-door look that was celebrated for all the right reasons.

Dating back centuries, the iconic knot style — known historically as the Bantu knot — was one that was widely adopted in the '90s by spicy pop princesses and raver girls who had no doubts about making a statement.

This style was short and sweet, yet it had a touch of sass with its flipped-out ends. From angelic TV stars to edgy film characters, the red carpet look was one we couldn't ignore.

Framing your face with two sleek pieces of hair was the ultimate cool-girl staple. Those strands signified attitude and class, and if you didn't pull two pieces out the front of a too-tight up-do, you were obviously doing it wrong.

And finally, who could forget the funky look made possible by the revolutionary tool of the '90s: the hair crimper. The wavy look was adopted both on and off our screens and left many with just one question: "To crimp, or not to crimp the bangs?!"
