Rock your 'do with 90s-style hair clips

There have been a few hair accessory throwbacks gracing the likes of social media and the most popular runway shows for 2018. You decide if they stick around for a while or not.

The claw-clip (butterfly clip) may be one of your at-home favorites when tying your hair back to brush your teeth, but they now they are made to be seen again. The trend is to stand out in a chrome colored clip, so you may very well resort back to your favorite 1990s clipped back 'do.

Another flash from the past are the snap clip barrettes. They are also known as contour clips. These clips take me back to my middle school days when all the girls wanted to look like Cher and the other girls from the 1990s hit movie "Clueless." Stick to sleek hair parted down the middle — that's still trending — and just add a clip to each side for a recently updated version. Wear 3-4 of them on one side for another look. You can pick up a six pack of them at your local drugstore for about $5.

The last, but not least, 1990 throwback hair accessory is the comb/headband. I don’t know what grade I was in when these were popular but I believe they were a hit in the late 90s. This is another accessory that you can purchase at the drugstore or online and is inexpensive. They are a great way to spice up a simple bun or ponytail. If you don't recall this accessory, think back to that plastic stretchy headband that gives your hair a zigzag impression with your hair pulled back. You can put it around your neck and then slide it up into your hair. It screams low maintenance but is the cool girl look of the moment. Slick your hair back and throw one on today.
