Needs Help: Nineties Hair

Hi. I've been looking at '70s Hair and '80s Hair and they all have images on their articles. So I'm wondering why '90s Hair doesn't have a page image in the article...

To be honest, I didn't even know we had a '90s Hair article. Shouldn't be too hard to come up with something.

EDIT: While we're at it, '70s Hair could stand to have a collage as well...the current is good but doesn't cover the scope as well as '80s Hair does.

curtains hair◊ Surviving Jack just came out but was set in the 90s. bangs◊ crimped◊

Of course, let's start with the easiest and most obvious... The Rachel◊.

If we do a collage, some ideas could be the Rachel◊, that floppy-haired parted in the middle thing that most of the celebrity crushes of my youth had (Jonathan Brandis◊ comes to mind), that awful bowl cut that many of my schoolmate crushes sported◊, a high top fade◊, and side ponytails with big scrunchies◊.

How's this?

Looks good.

It's okay but could we see other options like with the big bangs or crimped?

"The Rachel" was more 2000s than 90s wasn't it?

I dunno, I don't see any common thread there at all.

Mid-nineties. Friends started in 1994 and Jennifer Anniston only kept the hairstyle for the first two years. People loved it for some reason and it thus caught on around that time.

Ok but like when there is a collage of something, usually all the subjects have points of difference but points of similarity also—e.g. Our Orcs Are Different, Space Elves, Absurdly Spacious Sewer—and that just looks like a bunch of totally different things. What's the trope?

Typical or prevalent hairstyles for the time period; check '80s Hair for the template.

Those images have a common thread.

6 all the way.

Also, I'm going to get those Poetic Justice braids.

From the page: Nineties hair isn't just one defining trend. That makes me wonder what we are trying to picture - "hairstyles of people in the nineties" is not a trope.

Well, one of the side effects of Grunge killing the Hair Metal movement of the 80s was that rockers went to what is basically a "wash and go" look - the hair was still long but there was no real styling, with Dexter Holland and his elaborate cornrows and braids being a major exception.

Yes, casual and low-maintenance as possible. For men, this meant letting hair just fall wherever it may, creating a distinctive style, referred to as "curtains" or a "bowl cut". That means the bottom right of 6.

No it takes a lot of styling to get the look in the lower-right. Pretty sure Willbyr is referring to long-but-not-feathered hair sported by many so-called grunge rockers, which is in fact distinctive of the 90s but is not represented in that image.

I am skeptical that there is a trope here or that any image would be good.

Perhaps the page is Useful notes or something in that vein. Either way, it's now used to define a certain time period in a film or other medium just like the other similar pages. It's clear that those hairstyles are evocative of an era.

I approve No 6. Perhaps more additional images like Kurt Cobain's frizzy long hair or spikes to kick it up a notch a bit...

Clock is set.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
