6 Retro-Chic Styles For Festive Inspiration

It’s an unwritten rule that one has to get dressed up on festive occasions. If you’re looking for stunning hair trends to slay the festive look in style, we take you back to the ‘90s decade that has been a huge source of inspiration. Ah, the decade where emotions and attitudes flowed into fashion, beauty, make-up and hairstyles. The decade that offered a bevy of funky and vibrant hairstyles, over-the-top colours, crazy cuts and chicest trends. When hair stood out in a sea of styles, be it braids, ponytails, buns or knots, there was a style for everyone!

For the upcoming festive season, we serve those iconic hair trends with a nostalgic twist and tell you how they can ace your look.

The easy 'n' doable styles

BUTTERFLY CLIP

For a cute but trendy effect

We present the most nostalgic and iconic hair accessory of the ‘90s award to the ‘butterfly clip’. Hair accoutrements had a major moment in the spotlight during the ‘90s. The butterfly clips in particular saw a huge surge in popularity after it was spotted on several celebs. From Mila Kunis and Hilary Duff to Melissa Joan Hart and Danielle Fishel, the butterfly clips had become, oh-such-a ’90s girl thing. Apart from being stylish, extra and funky, they were pretty functional too and could be used to hold loose strands, wispy bangs and multiple partings in place. Colourful butterfly clips have seen a major resurgence in the last few years.
