Ever look around lately and see that 90s hair is back?

Here’s why the decade’s influence is still holding strong.

Could the 90s bethecoolest decade?

But why the 90s now you might ask?

Theres somethingsoothing in our anxiety-ridden worldabout replicating the decades emo mood, hairstylist Jessica Gillin tells me.

Manhattan-based hair colorist Jenna Perry is particularly serving up red, a la Ginger Spice.

Just see how she gave Bella Hadid spicy red skunk-stripes recently.

Bold skunk stripes are not for everyone though.

Im loving a deep red like Claire Danes inMy So-Called Life, Perry says.

Its so underrated and really cool.

Hairstylist Jessica Gillin has been scoping old Delias and Alloy catalogs for short looks like the mushroom cut.
