"As hard as it may be to believe, it's been a whole decade since 2016 - long enough that people are getting nostalgic over it. While you may still be clearing out your camera roll of oil spill VSCO pics or wondering if Rihanna will ever follow up Anti with another album, hair trends have moved right along. Of course, many of them are staying in the archives."
"Not everything from 2016 deserves permanent retirement, though. In fact, some trends are already on the precipice of returning. The long bob, or "lob," is poised for a comeback, especially after Hailey Bieber revived hers in December. Mermaid waves were spotted at the Golden Globes and on Milan runways in all their tousled, textured glory. Even hair glitter might be the sleeper hit of the year, hinting that extra-ness could be making another (albeit, more refined) run."
Nostalgia for 2016 meets evolving hair aesthetics as certain looks fall out of favor while others return. Festival staples like space buns and flower crowns now read as relics of a pre-influencer Coachella era, and ombré-dipped ends pair with matte lips and Thrasher tees as distinctly dated. Simultaneously, renewed interest in polished, textured styles is emerging: the long bob (lob) is staging a comeback, mermaid waves appeared on red carpets and runways, and hair glitter may return in a more refined form, suggesting selective revival alongside retirement of overused trends.
