In the 2010s, most newbie blondes have the goal of creating a natural look. Unless the plan is to go platinum, people generally tend to opt for subtle highlights which trick people into thinking that the golden streaks were kissed by the sun.
Back in the ’90s, however, highlights were far from subtle. We’re talking Jennifer Aniston chunky highlights which are literally begging to be noticed.
In the era of the balayage, Kim Kardashian has decided to go back to hair roots (pun intended) and rock a ’90s inspired highlight hairstyle for her new KKW Beauty Mattes campaign.
Her hairstylist, Andrew Fitzsimons, shared a picture on Instagram, which he captioned: “Obsessed with these beige-brunette chunky 90’s-ass highlights I created on @KimKardashianfor the latest @KKWbeauty campaign 🤤”
Fitzsimons revealed more about his inspiration to Allure, explaining: “The colour was inspired by ’90s supermodels, so we referenced photos that featured hair with very beautiful, very ’90s chunky, sandy, blonde highlights against contrasting brown lowlights.”
He added: “The base tone is a beautiful neutral brown with cool beige highlights.”
Could ’90s highlights be making a comeback? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
