Hair styling passions. Part 2. Death number and nostalgia for 90s

Hairstyle fads frequently arrive in waves and evoke sentimentality. The 1990s is a time period that never fails to inspire due to its daring fashion and distinct mindset. We’ll explore how those timeless looks are still relevant today in this section of the series.

The 1990s saw a lot of bold hairstyles, from the defiant undercuts to the enormous spikes. These looks stood for more than just a trend; they were a symbol of uniqueness and bravery, which still has resonance with many people today.

Come along as we examine the decade’s iconic "death number" trend and discover why it continues to arouse passion and nostalgia for a bygone era.

Style Description
Death Number A bold, edgy look that combines sharp lines with undercuts, giving a dramatic and rebellious vibe.
90s Nostalgia This style brings back iconic trends like curtain bangs, fluffy layers, and scrunchies, evoking a playful and retro feel.

For inspiration

I became fascinated by the "90th blowout" style, or hair styled in the 90s using a hair dryer, as soon as I started looking in this direction. Although the majority of the images are contemporary, notice their beauty:

And (because I have a weakness for long hair) my favorite.

Pinterest has graciously contributed all of the images.

This is really great; I love the gloss, volume, and carelessness of it. I made the decision to attempt to replicate it, so I went to watch a number of videos on video hosting websites that cover this subject.

I won’t claim to be an expert in this field, but after six attempts over the past four months, I feel prepared to discuss the fundamentals of this style and demonstrate it on myself. And explain to you why, as of right now, I’m unable to get it exactly like in the image.

We examine the daring and cutting-edge styles that typified the 1990s in "Hair Styling Passions. Part 2. Death Number and Nostalgia for the Nineties," from rebellious cuts to dramatic styling selections that evoke a love of both nostalgia and experimentation. This article explores the ways in which these classic looks are returning, fusing contemporary flair with nostalgic vibes, as people rediscover the bold fashions of that seminal decade.

Styling

Principles, necessary tools and means

What then are the tenets of this kind of styling?

  1. Pulling and curling with a brush
  2. Fixation with "rollers" (in English rollers, in our language – Velcro curlers, the English version is easier to use) and clips
  3. Plenty of time to cool down.

Thus, the required equipment is as follows: a tangle teaser comb, a comb with rare teeth, a hair dryer, a brush, rollers, and clips. I overlooked the Tangle Teaser photo.

You can use one size roller or several sizes. I have two different sizes: 4.5 cm for the pink and 5.5 cm for the blue. There are also tiny red ones (about 3 cm in diameter); I purchased them initially and now I just use them to tuck away loose strands.

It makes sense that larger volume rollers would provide more volume at the roots but less wave.

Regarding the necessary products, you can choose these based on your hair type and preferences. All you’ll need is leave-in care if your hair retains style well. I use Dallas density spray from You Won’t Believe It R + Co. and Chiffon styling mousse.

Like all R+Co products, mousse comes in a stylish bottle with an eye-catching design. It has a very nice, subtle, and universal scent.

Like all mousses, it’s white and fluffy, and I only need a tangerine-sized portion for satisfaction.

Dallas spray is incredible! I love this, and I’m not even talking about the gorgeous design or the subtle scent of a really nice men’s perfume.

Now that the materials and tools have been used, let’s move on to the most fascinating part.

Process

First of all, I apologise for the poor quality of the picture, gif, and me. The lighting in the bathroom is mediocre at best.

Preparation

I let my hair dry until the following state:

  1. Roots 100% dry
  2. Length 80-90% dry.

I then use Teaser to comb through my hair to ensure even distribution of the Chiffon mousse. I liberally apply Dallas.

My hair is split into three sections:

  1. Lower strands – there will be 2 rollers on each side
  2. Middle strands – there will be 2 rollers on each side
  3. Upper "Mohawk" together with bangs – there will be 4 rollers.

Drying

I pin up my hair and begin using a brush to dry and curl the strands. I go over each strand three to four times, holding it in the curled position for five seconds. After that, I twist the brush away until only a curl is left.

Next, we pin the strand from below by twisting it with a roller in the direction of the curl. A kink will stay on the strand if you pin it from above. But that’s not necessary.

I should have mentioned that you will also need titanic patience. I find that using a hairdryer on my entire head takes between 45 and 60 minutes.

1. Attach strand to temples. To give this part more volume, I twist it as usual, but I turn it away from the face before pinning.

2. Normally, I wrap the bangs "down" after drying them, but you can choose how to do this. One person twists the upper portion "up," while another divides it in half horizontally and twists the lower part "down." Here, all you have to do is give it a try and see which option and what you like best.

I therefore promised you pain. This kind of long hair style is generally very difficult because sometimes the arms are simply too short.

This is how we end up with an average housewife from the 1960s.

Don’t worry if it looks bad, if some hair sticks out, or if not all of the strands fall in. There is nothing flawless in this life.

After that, you must allow the curls to cool in this condition. The longer, the better; an hour is ideal.

Remove the rollers

This journey. Ideally, place two fingers inside the roller and slowly lower it while twisting.

This is perfect. In real life, rollers can become stuck because hair clings to surfaces in multiple directions. For me, this typically occurs with 1-2 rollers out of a total of 12. It’s important to remain calm. With patience, you can easily pull the hair out of them.

We simply leave the curls alone for now.

When all of the details are gone, the image is not attractive. Really, it doesn’t even resemble photos from the Internet?

But we’ll be saved by a comb with unusual teeth.

One, two (be cautious!) and we have this.

I don’t know what to say. When hair is straightened, very little changes. They appear short and only curl at the ends.

However, I am aware of the cause.

I don’t have a multi-level haircut; I have a straight cut. It’s clear from a close examination of the post’s opening images that a multi-level haircut creates the illusion of a light and voluminous hairstyle. In other words, the levels produce this amazing effect by allowing the ends to curl nearly the whole length of the hair canvas. Everything makes sense.

I therefore have a strong mental image of creating a multi-level haircut. However, I’m still weighing the pros and cons. To start, my hair is thin and thinning at the ends, and it only measures 7.5 centimeters when pulled back in a low ponytail. Only if I trim my hair back to my shoulder blades, where it naturally falls in place.

Here is the finished image with makeup and styling in the interim. Not too bad, in my opinion.

A fly in the ointment

To be honest, I’m feeling more than just good vibes from this styling.

First of all, the brush itself damages hair by creating friction. Here, it all comes down to the type of leave-in products you use, how you style it, and how good of a brush you have.

Rolls, second. Think about it: there are a lot of tiny brushes here. They are with hints. When I remove them, the heart is drenched in blood. Wish for lasting care as well, but.

Consequently, even though this kind of styling may seem lovely, I will never do it regularly. One, two, or three times a year for noteworthy events when in the right frame of mind is feasible. However, even after that, I always begin "resuscitation" with strong methods, like keratin in T.H.

Additionally, hair gets harder and loses volume as it gets longer. When hair is cut flat, such styling eventually becomes meaningless.

Numerous classic looks from the 1990s are making a comeback in today’s hair fashion, leaving a lasting impression. The inventiveness of that era is once again being embraced by people, whether it’s through the daring, bold choices or the playful, layered cuts.

Some find nostalgia in these looks, taking them back to their younger years, while others see it as a novel approach to play around with their hair. There are countless ways to express oneself when historical styles are combined with contemporary flair.

Reviving these 90s looks is a way to reinvent them with a modern twist that appeals to today’s fashion-forward crowd, rather than merely paying homage to the past.
