1989—Long, Natural Curls
As the wild mania of the 1980s started to settle down, popularity once again began to increase for natural, laid-back styles.
Enter Julia Roberts, Hollywood’s sweetheart for much of the 80s and 90s, and her signature long, natural curls, which became the most popular hairdo in 1989.
Sure, they are still enormous and wild, but things are still calming down a little as the raucous ride of the 1980s began to come to an end. Phew!But don’t get too comfortable—as you know where that means we’re heading next…
1990—Natural Ringlets
Hooray, we’ve made it to the 90s! For many of us, this decade seems so recent that you probably wouldn’t expect it to have any style or fashion moments that are too far removed from how we all look and dress today.
But oh, how wrong you are!
Let’s take a look at this pic, which shows Mariah Carey rocking the most popular style of 1990—natural ringlets.
Carey’s girl-next-door appeal made her the most popular singer of the moment, and her single All I Want For Christmas remains the ultimate festive song even to this day.
