This Throwback Hair Trend Is Making a Beauty Comeback
If you haven’t noticed, retro beauty trends have a tendency to resurface every few decades. From grunge-worthy ’90s hairstyles to ’70s fringe manis, our go-to beauty routines are always primed for a throwback upgrade. That’s why it’s no surprise that a curl-tastic trend has snuck its way back into our nostalgic hearts. Whether we like it or not, perm curls are back and bigger than ever. The mom-approved trend is reprising its popularity thanks to celebrities like Julianne Hough and Jenna Dewan Tatum, who have been rocking curly locks all over Instagram. Since then, the perm has been popping up everywhere, and now our own tresses are begging for a makeover. If you’re thinking of trying this Madonna-esque hairstyle, check out how these 10 celebs are rocking the ’80s look STAT.
