‘Cries as a 90s child’ people sob as Strictly’s Dianne Buswell tries ‘old school’ hair trend no-one thought would return
IT’S one of the hair trends some people hoped would stay firmly in the past.
But Strictly Come Dancing’s Dianne Buswell isn’t one of them – as she proved by revisiting the “old school” look in a video on her TikTok page.
She revealed that she’d bought the headband, with lots of little clips for different hair sections, from Amazon to test out.
“I am ever so excited because this thing is just arrived,” she began.
“I actually love it, I tried it just before really quickly and I loved it so I’m going to do it again properly!”
She then demonstrated how to use the headband, beginning by sectioning the front parts of her hair on either side.
Dianne then put on the headband, and started taking sections of the front part of the hair, twisting it tightly.
Once it was twisted, she placed it into the clip on the headband to secure in place.
“Oh my gosh it’s so cute!” she said as she was halfway through the process.
Dianne then did the same on the other side, and gushed: “How cute is that?”
“I used to do my hair like this when I used to go to school back in the day.
“It is quite old school but it’s cool old school.
“I like it. Comes in two colours as well. This kind of reddy colour and a dark colour.”
“Let’s give this a go! What do we think?” Dianne captioned her video.
But people in the comments section were divided by the Strictly star’s look, with many admitting they remembered the trend from the first time around.
“Cries as a 90s child, lol,” one wrote.
“I used this all the time as a kid,” another said.
“Can’t believe all these 90s trends are coming back!”
“Oh man, I’m officially old,” another sighed.
“I spent so long doing this hairstyle in the 90’s,” a third commented.
“Could have used a hairband like that!”
“Are these back? I’ve had one for years and haven’t worn it in so long,” someone else wrote.
Fashion editor reveals the 90s trends that should stay in the past
NINETIES and noughties trends especially have become a hit with Gen Z - most likely because they didn’t wear them the first time round. Here, Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale gives the rundown of some of the trends that have made a comeback that we wish did not.
Disc belts
“A hit with celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Blake Lively, the belt itself did nothing that a belt should actually do – it was a mere fashion statement, not a piece to actually hold anything up.
“And it seems it’s not just me who is enraged by its return, with many taking to TikTok to give their views, saying: ‘Oh no not the disc belt! I don’t think I have the energy for it a 2nd time around’ – I feel you.”
Jelly shoes
“After not being seen on shelves for decades, they’ve made a reappearance and this time they’re not just for kids.
“Coming in a range of colourful patterns, you can get them all over the high street in either flat or heeled versions.
“Not only will you look very childish wearing such shoes, but people will also need to learn that they aren’t the comfiest – blister plasters will come in handy.”
Pedal pushers
“The cropped knee-grazing trouser were all the rage in the 1990s and 2000s, but this time the model fash pack are all over them – with both Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski wearing them out recently.
“The original IT girls, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot helped make the trousers – also called Capri pants – look effortlessly cool and glam.
“Somehow this time round they don’t seem to be having that same effect.”
“This has brought me back to when I used to pin my hair back with butterfly clips, I might have to try this!” another commented.
“I’m going to a 90s brunch in July.. deffo have to get this,” someone else said.
“It’s giving Bewitched and I’m here for it! Needed that band in the 90s, I guess that’s where my muscles came from,” another gushed.
But others weren’t convinced by the trend comeback.
“Sorry Dianne, but I hate this!” one wrote.
“Whatever happened to butterfly clips from my 90’s childhood?
“This seems like too much effort for me lol!”
“Sorry it’s horrible,” another added.
“Nah you lost me. Looks too fiddly,” a third commented.
“I honestly cannot tell if this is a joke??” someone else mused.
“Like, is she serious?
“I’m a millennial but I think I’d rather have the fringe bump thing than this!”
