8 Beauty Comebacks From the 90s (and How to Wear Them Now)

Turns out the '90s weren't so bad for beauty after all.

Double buns
When the topknot took off, it was very quickly replaced by a familiar hairstyle many '90s girls might remember rocking out to when dancing to their favorite girl band, ahem, naturally, the Spice Girls. The double bun is back with a slightly more mature, Coachella-esque flair. Veronica Kabacinski, hairstylist at Broome Street Society in New York City, says it's a youthful way to pull your hair back off your face if it's done the right way. She recommends curling or texturizing the hair before putting it into double buns and keeping the look soft by leaving pieces out around your face. "Make this look even more trendy by adding braids to your pigtails before twisting them into buns for more texture and interest."

Chunky face framing
That's right, the "Rachel haircut" was too good to stay in the 1990s, which explains why it's back and better than ever. Be it paired with a long shag or a short curtain fringe, face-framing layers offer an effortlessly stylish, low-commitment 'do that exudes bounce, texture and volume. There are a variety of ways you can go about achieving this look in 2018. One is to start short around the middle of your face, between your eyes and cheekbones. Staying around this region will work best for whatever face shape you have. The rest of the layering will concave around your face and draw attention towards your best features. "You can also wear this look up by keeping two bold face framing pieces out of your high pony," says Kabacinski.
