7. Twisted Corn Rows: Twisting your hair back into petite sections (then clipping them with a butterfly clip, duh) was truly a thing way back when. We’re ready to bring it back if it means being able to use fun clips again. You in?

8. Symmetrical Buns: To keep these funky buns modern, make sure to pull out pieces in the front and on the sides. It makes the style a bit less polished and messier (that’s so 2018).

13. Butterfly Clips: While some may still be on the fence about them being modern enough, we say rock them with confidence.
