It keeps the hair looking fresh, not oily.
14. Crimped Hair Accents
Crimping added amazing texture back then.
It was often used in sections, not all over.
This gave a subtle nod to the 90s era.
Modern crimpers create softer waves now.
It’s a fun way to add some retro flair.
13. The “Rachel” with an Edge
The famous “Rachel” cut got a grunge twist.
It had more layers and less polish.
This made it feel more rebellious.
To style, rough dry for added texture.
It gives a cool, unkempt finish.
12. Pigtails with Attitude
Pigtails were worn with a deliberate messiness.
Sometimes they were asymmetrical, not perfect.
This subverted their innocent image.
Adding a scrunchie makes them authentic.
It’s a playful yet edgy grunge look.
11. Bandana Headbands
Bandanas were both practical and stylish.
They kept hair back and added color.
You could tie them in many cool ways.
I love folding them into a thick band.
It’s such an easy way to accessorize.
10. The Shag Cut
The shag cut was perfect for grunge.
It had heavy layers and natural movement.
This cut inherently looked effortless.
Use a texturizing spray to enhance layers.
It brings out the shag’s natural bounce.
9. Side Part with Volume
A deep side part added to the grunge look.
Lifted roots made it unkempt yet intentional.
It gave a cool, asymmetric silhouette.
I use root-lifting spray for lasting volume.
Then I rough dry for a lived-in feel.
8. The Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts in the 90s had texture.
They weren’t perfectly smooth or polished.
