Hair Diary: Homegrown Glam -90s Edition
Felt like I needed something new after my *slight* obsession with faux locs - so I summoned my imaginary 90s glam squad: a stylist who calls me “baby girl,” a makeup artist with a pager, and a personal hype woman with bamboo earrings bigger than my future.
Step one: Rough blow dry. No technique, just vibes and big dreams. Hair 85% dry, slightly chaotic, looking like the before photo — which we respect around here.
Step two: The moment of transformation — me, a Wavytalk round brush, and no witnesses.
I sectioned my hair like a professional (read: guessed and hoped for the best), then set the brush to medium heat.
Each pass through my hair felt like an invisible Auntie handing me a glass of lemonade and telling me I’m “too blessed to be stressed.”
Wrap, pull, slow roll… and boom: silky bends, glossy movement, that signature 90s bounce you can feel in your neck when you flip your hair too hard.
It wasn’t just a blowout — it was a homegrown Essence magazine cover moment.
It was giving Sanaa Lathan in Love & Basketball, backyard party scene.
It was giving Nia Long when she stole every scene with just a side glance.
Final result: The kind of hair that makes you want to tilt your head and laugh at jokes you made yourself.
The kind of hair that says, “Yes, there’s a 3-hour waitlist to speak to me. Please hold.”
⭐️Overall rating: 10/10, no notes.

The 90s era is iconic for its bold hairstyles, rich textures, and glamorous aesthetics. From the layered bouncy looks of Brandy to the sleek styles of Sanaa Lathan, the decade defined hair trends that many still aspire to replicate today. The return of this style can be embraced through simple at-home techniques that ensure your hair reflects your uniqueness. One key trend is the use of round brushes like the Wavytalk round brush, which helps create volume and movement, essential for achieving that perfectly styled hair. The warm sections allow for styling without damage, giving a soft bounce reminiscent of the 90s Hollywood glamour. Don't forget products that enhance shine and reduce frizz, ensuring your hair looks as good as it feels. Also, remember to incorporate those nostalgic accessories such as oversized bamboo earrings, which not only complement the hair but also embrace that vintage vibe. It's all about how you present the hair and make it an extension of your individual style, celebrating beauty from the past while making it relevant for the present. With the right tools and a sprinkle of retro inspiration, you too can achieve that flawless 90s look that turns heads and makes a statement.
