THE Hairstyle of the Early 2000s

TRIGGERED. I was in high school in the early 2000s and EVERY girl had a spray tan and this stupid pouf.

Isn't Beyonces' white girl wig cultural appropriation?

Works both ways.

I graduated in 2009 and at least half the girls at our prom wore their hair like that.

That hairstyle has been around since the 1960’s, at least, everyone had it in Valley of the Dolls. I’ve always liked it.

Sharon Tate in Valley of the Dolls.

Who started the resurgence though? I feel like it just showed up all of a sudden.

R6 Cosmopolitan magazine credited Lauren Conrad for the inspiration in this 2016 article.

The OP is not what I think of when I think of early 2000s "style."

Sorry, but the "bumped up" hair style always looks kind of stunning in real life. If it came back, I would have no problem with it. Women I knew would kind of "compete" to see how far they could bump up their hair.

I like the Tsarist Russian bouffant with bangs.

those ridiculous Bumpit commericals

R6, I'm just hoping that the 'Nick Arrojo sexy razor cuts' (which were also quite popular) stay in the 00s.

I don't understand what your problem is OP. That's a pretty classic fucking hairstyle. What's your problem??

I disliked it because it was so wimpy and half hearted. I want to see the return of a full on 60s bump, not those tiny little bumps.

I remember this being popular in the late 90s/early 00s

The wet hair look. Some of my friends tried to pull it off in high school.

Brigitte Bardot's hairstyles and dress style constantly copied, never equaled. French women did it much better

R15 I can practically hear Dido 's Here With Me just from watching that clip

R17 Wet hair look was already a thing in the 80s

R19 Good 🙂

R20 well it made a comeback. I wasn't around in the 80s (unfortunately).

I remember this Michelle Branch hair being popular in the early 2000s.

Boy, now that's a name I haven't said in years!

I remember a girl in college with a prolific bump. We called her "sharkey" behind her back because it looked like a shark's fin.

R7 I never would have guessed LC. I know her more for having braids or wearing headbands on The Hills.

R26 I was very surprised, too. I also didn’t know that she was a style inspiration to other celebrities. I found this article that calls her one of the top trendsetters of the early 2000’s.

R27 she has a few fashion lines that seem to be doing well. Lauren's done the best out of the Laguna crew.

R29 True. I don’t even remember the names of most them. LC is the only one you still hear about.

R30 Kristin has a show, but I haven't seen it. She doesn't look so good these days. And the rest did a Hills reboot but i'm sure it's terrible.

R31 I’ve never heard of her new show. I didn’t remember her until I looked at the photo. She’s definitely aged the most.

Get outta my way, byatches.

R8, believe it or not, but that look was still going strong in Indiana in the early part of the 10s.

I don't even know what to call this. But it's fucking terrible. Courtney Cox had this "style" for Scream 3.

I think it’s just called fucked up bangs. That style always drove me crazy. So distracting when you’re watching a movie.

R1 Apples and Oranges, you dumbass. White people have a very evil history in America.

Black don't.

R35, that pic of Courtney Cox was on her Instagram and her post was "what the fuck is this?".

R38 Priceless. You know it’s bad when Courtney can’t even figure out what the fuck that hairstyle was, and what the fuck she was thinking when she walked sporting it, and it’s preserved on film forever.

I call that look the mentally ill bangs look-- as if someone in a psychotic rage hacked off their bangs with a nail clipper.

R41 That’s a good description, or the beautician was drunk. Joanne Woodward used to sport cockeyed bangs in many of her films, that’s one of the reasons why I avoid her movies. I can’t stand looking at them.

Queen Bey was so fkin beautiful with that bronze tan she used to rock. She was a glowing golden goddess.

Aaah, the days when Lindsay Lohan looked like a big-titted Oompa Loompa

R6, perhaps Madonna in 1995?

R45, even with the spray tan, Lindsay looks much better there.

What do you mean the pouf is out of style?!

R35 Apparently, they’re called Baby Bangs. It seems to be inspired by the bad haircuts your mother would give you when she was too lazy, too poor or too cheap to take you to a hair salon when you were a child, and she would just start chopping away at it until you cried and begged her to stop. The bowl haircut is another one invented by moms. Why would a real hairstylist want to copy a haircut that’s a mistake made by amateurs?

The only person who should ever be wearing baby bangs

R38 if only she'd had that reaction while filming lol

R45 an Oompa Loompa who knew how to break it down.

R51, what even was that????

R52 the only thing I can remember about the 2004 MTV movie awards 😄

R53, I never watched any of the MTV movie awards. Can you imagine Lohan being requested to twerk now for a rap video!?!??

R54 MTV gave her a reality show instead.

R55, she actually looks ok there, but her arms are scary disproportionate to the rest of her body.

The early 2000s had the absolute worst women's fashions of my lifetime. Even when they were in style, they were atrocious.

In 2006- 2008 the bangs area pompadour poofy women were wearing.

I remember thinking it looked so silly on Nastia Liukin's head.

The worst were the clashing highlights that women would get--one part blonde and one part black (it's coming back now, dear god). I studied in Indiana in the early 00s and that style was still popular there (it had went out of style 4 years ago in Chicago).

r46 - Madonna looks awesome there.

For the average person, the look was achieved with the "Bumpits" hair inserts.

R46 Or maybe it was Alicia Silverstone in Clueless, which was released in July 1995?

Jennifer Lopez, 2002 Oscars, hair styled by Oribe. So much potential, but a fail.

I always associate that hairstyle with that slightly upscale Las Vegas escort look that was popular in the early 00s (think Britney Spears and other starlets of that era.) Don't even get me started on the Juicy Couture velvet track pants.

Sharon Stone's hair in Casino, which was set in 1970s (? I think) Las Vegas. Ginger (Stone's character) was a "hustler," which is escort adjacent, I guess.

R65, JLo was considered a style icon in the early 00s.

Another Sharon Stone / Casino hairdo. I really like how she looked at the beginning of Casino. The end of Casino (Carol Brady wig) is another story. Somebody must've hated Sharon Stone to make her look like that, at the end of the movie.

At least since the 70s flight attendants.

Priscilla Presley in the 70s

Oh yes, I remember scene.

One of J.Lo's better hairstyles.
