Modern perm: 90s curls are back
Oh, the big, luscious locks of the 90s. Do you remember her? Tightly coiled and peppy, they were the opposite of the other hair trend of the time (sleek and ultra-straightened) and worn by all the cool girls, including Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker, Drew Barrymore, Mariah Carey, and Nicole Kidman. This trend, which is synonymous with uncomplicated hair, is now on the rise again, along with a general movement that emphasizes (and highlights) our natural texture.
