Messy Updo
Reminiscent of your early 2000s days wearing full pink Juicy Couture tracksuits, UGG boots, and butterfly clips, many Y2K hairstyles have made a comeback in a big way. One of these sought-after hairstyles is the messy updo, as seen by Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30 in 2004. The messy updo allows you to showcase stunning highlights and is suitable for casual and formal events. You can add crown braiding or a baby part to enhance the height for a personalized touch.
Emo Bangs
Emo hairstyles from the 2000s often featured long bangs swept across the forehead. This style is not only easy to achieve but also looks gorgeous. Even with long locks, you can still pull off an edgy emo look by choosing the right color for your hair. Tinting your hair in bright pink or black can create a striking appearance that challenges societal norms. Add accessories like bows or clips to enhance the style, and remember the dramatic bob for added flair.
Spiky Hair
Spiky hair was trendy in the 2000s, often worn with scrunchies or butterfly clips for an edgy style. You can recreate this look by using fades on both sides and applying quilty wax to your hair. Use your fingertips to pull certain longer pieces upward to create spikes of texture for an authentic, textured effect. Another option is to bleach the top layer of your hair in a light blonde hue for contrast and definition.
High Ponytail
The high ponytail style is perfect for long locks and easily styled with accessories like butterfly clips. Another iconic 2000s look was crimped hair, consisting of small zigzag waves that added texture to the hair. Today, this throwback style has evolved into mermaid waves, but the signature zigzag effects remain. Emo bangs were also popular among young girls and teens, allowing for rebellion against authority. Accessorize with butterfly clips or scrunchies for additional flair. Kurt Cobain, the frontman of Nirvana, helped define this trend with his messy hair.
