Growing up, every generation has their own styles that seemed to take over. However, in the 90s, everything seemed to jump into hyper-drive, probably because of all of the media that was targeting the young people in the country.
It seemed like the 90s had about 8,000 different trends that popped up, but it was the hairstyles that really were the most important part. You can wear whatever clothes you wanted, but if your hair wasn't perfect then what was the point?
These 20 hairstyles were the most iconic of their time, and we all had them at one point or another. If we didn't, then someone in our classes absolutely did.
1. The mushroom cut was the most definitive look of the decade
2. But sometimes they would split the hair right down the middle, because that's obviously cooler than it being straight across
3. Baby Spice helped bring pigtails to a new level of cool
4. Or if that wasn't your thing you could have it shoulder length and flipped out, just like the Olsens
5. Basically all of the hairstyles in the 90s for guys seemed to involve some form of mushroom cut, but this one was for those who wanted to use excessive hair gel so that their head looked wet at all times
6. Or if you wanted to go all out, spiking up your frosted tips was also an option
7. Ladies, you know that you had a random collection of gems that you would clip throughout your hair
8. Sometimes you would even work them into some crimped pieces
9. Seriously, we can't express enough how frosted those tips were...
10. Hair got really tall in the 90s
11. Whether it was the cut, or because we all had scrunchies holding our hair up to dangerous heights
And that's just the tip of the iceberg...
12. Mariah's curls were pretty iconic, making perms the most desirable style
13. Of course you can't catalog 90s hairstyles properly without discussing 'The Rachel.' Even though Jennifer Anniston herself hated the look, it swept the nation like crazy
14. Twisty pieces pulled back into butterfly clips were an absolute essential - bonus points if you pulled out some small strands right up front!
15. George Clooney's Caesar-style haircut really made an impact (whether we wanted it to or not)
16. Seriously though, gel sales went through the roof
17. The importance of the feathered bang can not be overstated. It was everything
18. Geri Halliwell had an epic and magical style where the front of her hair was a different color than the rest and it was iconic and wonderful
19. She was our princess, and her hair was amazing
20. And of course, whatever Gwen Stefani was doing at the moment
There are few singers who are quite as iconic as Sir Mix-a-Lot. His song "Baby Got Back" came out all the way back in 1992, but it's still well known to this day. The thing is, does anyone know where he actually went? Sure, we still hear the song, but when was the last time you actually saw him? Def AmericanSir Mix-a-Lot is actually named Anthony Ray. He was born in Washington in 1963, and it was in the 80s when he developed his love of hip-hop music. He joined forces with Nasty Nes in 1983, and at only 20
We all remember sitting down to watch Australian tough guy Mick "Crocodile" Dundee in his hilarious films. In 1986 his extremely popular adventures came to the big screen in "Crocodile" Dundee which was written and starred in by actor Paul Hogan. Hogan earned himself a Golden Globe for the role, and an Oscar nomination for the screenplay. The movie itself brought in $328 million worldwide, which sparked a second film in 1988 which earned $239 million. These two movie successes made Hogan one of the biggest stars of the 80s, but surprisingly he never made a name for himself outside
Leave it to Drew Barrymore to put all of our Throwback Thursday pictures to shame.The 43-year-old actress recently dug through her closet to play dress-up as "little Drew," revisiting outfits she was photographed wearing during her time as a child star. InStyleAs we've shared before, Hollywood in the '80s was a glamorous place, but the fashion choices of our favorite stars could be pretty questionable. Barrymore revealed the idea for this photo shoot came from photographer Laura Brown, who has known the actress for decades.“We are recreating looks from a very specific time period in my life from
Listen, we were all guilty of it, it was just a sign of the times. What are we talking about? Eyebrows. They were perhaps the most intensely groomed feature of our bodies, and yet there was hardly anything to them.Every celebrity in the world seemed to subscribe to these ultra thin brows in the 90s. Well, everyone except Brooke Shields, but she was one of a kind. Everyone else seemed to tweeze their eyebrows until there was only the thinnest of lines. Literally a pencil line would cover them. Luckily the super thin brows have fallen out of style,
