Appreciating 90′s Hair

One of my life’s regrets is never having BIG. BEAUTIFUL. VOLUMINOUS! WILD!!! 90′s HAIR. I was always stuck with flat, super straight AZN hair and got ~ JEALOUS EYES ~ whenever I saw ol’ Jules whipping around those ginger curls in Pretty Woman or Cindy Crawford drinking Pepsi with a luxurious, full, mane. Nowadays all those ladies get Brazilian blowouts or some shits so we can agree that the tables have turned, especially since my hair is not as straight anymore (though it obviously hasn’t reached Cree Summer status or anything.) One of these days I’ll put on my labcoat and Google exactly why our hair can change texture as we age.

I MISS DEEZ LADIES AND THEIR MAGNIFICENT, UNRULY ‘DOs

Yes, I know Madonna was clearly wearing a fall at the 1995 VMA’s, but it is also one of my favorite looks of hers. I had a lot more to chat about regarding this night but I started going totally off track (like yooj) so I copy and pasted it into another draft titled I Miss Slutty Madonna Part 2. So keep your eyeballs peeled for dat one. YOU ARE WELCOME.

DAMN BITCH!! Felicity is probs the REAL QUEEN of the Wild Curl Girls of the Nineties. That’s exactly why the world revolted when she cut it into a Brillo pad. Poor ting.

DAME MARIAH!!!!!!!!

JULES…we meet again…

This is one of my favorite Julia Roberts pictures, next to this one because #1 who the fuck suit you borrowing, Julia? Is it Richard’s? Keif’s? Lyle Lovett’s???

Anna Nicole had great LOCKS as well.

You know I had to end it with Noxzema!!!!!

so, okay, you’re probably thinking, “Is this, like a Noxema commercial, or what?!” but seriously, I actually have a way normal life for a teenage girl.

I was so made for late 80s early 90s hair. Curly fuzzball. Finally learning to embrace it as I approach the big 3-0!

UGH YES TO ALL OF THIS

I’ve heard that your hair pretty much changes every seven years? But I’ve also read that hormones can make your hair texture change. My hair texture has changed a little because I quit using shampoo and use only natural things to wash my hair now. It has much more texture now, it used to be soft and flimsy? Now about one third of my hair is sort of curly but overall it looks straight but voluminous and I love. it.

Wow! So is it taste buds AND hair for the every seven years thing? And what are the natural things you use to wash it now??

This explains so much about my fascination with this type of hair…… it never occurred to me that it was rooted in me in the 90s…

THE BIGGER THE HAIR THE CLOSER TO HEAVEN.

I was just thinking of Reese’s hair in Legally Blonde, because it’s kind of big at times, too. AND TWIN PEAKS YESSSS.

Whenever I hear the title “legends of the fall”, I don’t think of Brad Pitt, I think of that picture of Madonna.

As a stick-straight haired lass, I too admired wild and curly 90s hair from afar. No amount of product and/or coaxing could ever get my hair to cooperate!

So I’ve been trying to wear my hair au naturel more often lately (it’s huge and wavy) and when I pull it back from my face it makes me feel like Julia Roberts in Sleeping with the Enemy when she’s trying to hide her cuts from Ben. And then I think about how in that movie she had blow dryer-straight hair when she was with the evil, controlling dude, and when she let the curls come out she was free. And that’s the most beautiful hair metaphor I’ve ever heard!

I like the Anna Nicole one. You can probably pull that one off by blow drying your hair I guess. I mean, with what we have these days, it’s so easy to attain your preferred style. Thanks for bringing back memories. :)
