Clueless Chic Is Back: Behold the '90s Knot

Jul 19 2014 - 1:00pm

We've noticed that plenty of stars are reverting back to hairstyles made popular in the '90s: plastic baubles, glitter, perfectly coiffed baby hairs, and those twisty knots we saw on the likes of Gwen Stefani [1] and Scary Spice. It's like they opened up my Caboodle from the mid-'90s!

Lou Teasdale [2] — who grooms the guys of One Direction, is an ambassador for Fudge Urban hair care [3] (a personal favorite of mine), and has published her own DIY [4] beauty book called The Craft [5] — shows us how to get those classic bantu knots once and for all. Bantu knots are tiny, coiled buns that are often used on natural hair. Plus, these styles create a second, curlier hairstyle once uncoiled. And while the looks might steer away from the classic bantu, everyone from Rihanna [6] to Miley Cyrus [7] and Cara Delevingne is interpreting these twists in a different way. So, we have to ask: will you rock this look?
