It's no surprise that the 90's have made a resurgence in fashion and with this comes an opportunity to take a plunge back into a generation that had both tragic and AMAZING hairstyles. We aren't here to focus on bad style of the 90's we want to share a few of the ladies who not only inspired us as young adults but continue to inspire us in present-day.
Dolores O'Riordan is undeniably one of our favorite women from the grunge era. Her ever changing hairstyles were consistently cute but our favorite of all was the platinum blonde pixie cut she donned on the cover of The Cranberries "No Need to Argue".
Dark or light, short or long, Dolores cooed her way through the 90's (and beyond) always looking top notch in the hair and fashion department.
Our second focus is an obvious one. Gwen Stefani of No Doubt emerged to the mainstream with 1995's hit single "Just a Girl" in which she sported the most perfect platinum locks and a bindi, sending girls everywhere to the mall for jewels and to the salon for bleach and tones. Gwen's style has evolved so much since the beginning of her media fame that we could dedicate multiple blog posts to her but we are instead focusing on two of our favorite earlier looks she showed us; the classic vintage blonde bombshell and the punky pink princess.
Okay, so it's no secret that Courtney Love has had her fair share of the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to her career but in the 1990's she was front woman for the now defunct Hole. Before getting her "hollywood cleanup" makeover in the early 2000's, Courtney really pushed the envelope with not only her hairstyles but her fashion, stage show and all around rock'n'roll lifestyle. Some may call her time with the band a train wreck but it sure made for some incredible inspiration for us to look back on!
The list of females from the 90's with awesome hair goes on and on but we haven't forgotten about the men! Some of our favorites include Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and his many shades and lengths and Dave Grohl of Nirvana and the Foo fighters with his perfectly shaggy hair Lastly, we admire all of the styles Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers dawned but his aqua-marine hair sticks in our brains as one of the best blue hues ever. These trendsetters of grunge proved it was an anything-goes time for music, fashion and hair.
This blog post was inspired by our recent trip to San Diego, where we entertained ourselves in the rental car by re-buying some of our favorite albums of the 90's at a parking lot $1 CD sale. Proof positive that no matter where you end up wandering to there is always something to spark creativity!
