'90s Haircuts Everyone Is Asking For Now

Chunky highlights were everywhere in the '90s, but you can still find them today. "When people rock them now, they either have beautiful, natural balayage done with a thick 'money piece' located at the very front of the hair part, or they have no highlights at all except for one thick highlight in the very front," Devin Toth, a hairstylist at Salon SCK in New York City, explained to The List. Other stylists agree that these chunky highlights are huge once again in 2020.
"The '90s [look] is making a serious comeback, and you are about to see the new and improved chunky highlight everywhere," Chelsey Drapeau, owner of Chelsey D. Hair, noted when chatting with The List. "It's all about chunky face-framing color, vibrant shades and a grungy vibe. Dua Lipa and Bella Thorne are perfect examples."
While the trend once called for super blonde chunky highlights, they aren't just blonde these days. In fact, Matrix celebrity hair colorist George Papanikolas told Harper's Bazaar that pastel and contrasting highlights are also expected to trend in summer 2020.
