Hairstyles from the 1990s, like any other type of fashion, are among the most iconic declarations of style. Men, too, had some stunning hairstyles that characterized the look of the trendy decade, including voluminous haircuts, puffed ponytails, and vintage buns. The ’90s hairstyles were influenced by stylish fashion and pop culture, and they developed some outstanding looks that are still relevant today.

In the 90s men had tried almost all cuts that gave a stylish look to their hair including spiky hair, afro hairstyle, chin length hair style, and curtains hairstyle. Strong men’s hair trend was very unique for frosted tips and curtain haircut. For straight hair, men curtains haircut, and blonde highlights they even applied hair gel, and hair wax for a charming hair texture.

From Johnny Depp’s curtain hairstyle to George Clooney’s Caesar haircut and David Beckham, these fashions were all quite conventional and reflected the times in which Bollywood and Hollywood were operating at the time. In the pre-social media era, even spikey hair and Afros were all the rage.

Leonardo DiCaprio, the lead male cast of FRIENDS, Shah Rukh Khan’s DDLJ appearance, Rahul Roy’s classic long hair look, and others were also influenced at the time.

Here are some men’s hairstyles from the 1990s that need to be revived.

Rahul Roy’s 1990s style

Although the Aashiqui actor is no longer in films, he was a teen heartthrob in the 1990s. Men flocked to salons to obtain the Rahul Roy haircut because of his iconic style of slicked-back straight glossy hair.

Curtains Hairstyle

This haircut was made popular by Johnny Depp and Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys, and it looked incredibly good on males while maintaining a boyish appeal. This hairstyle was very popular in the 1990s, with a textured undercut on the side and front flicks.

Caesar’s

George Clooney made this cut famous by naming it after Julius Caesar. This mirrored an old-school aesthetic, with hair that was the same length all over and just a smidgeon longer on top. Even this appearance would perfectly define one’s facial characteristics and would go with any outfit.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s love interest

This classic messy fringe with a natural style was a head-turner during that legendary decade, from Brad Pitt to Leonardo DiCaprio. It was the ultimate style statement of the time because it was low-maintenance, and we think these heartthrob wavy hair ought to come back now.

Brad Pitt’s hairstyle is shoulder-length.

The long hair look was highly popular, in addition to the various styles of Brad Pritt-inspired haircuts. This haircut is simply classic, keeping it rough and rustic while making the face look oval with distinct jawlines. This haircut should also make a reappearance, thanks to its medium waves, textured hair, and caramel highlights. 

Grunge hairstyles of Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain of Nirvana made another haircut cool with his long hair with front curtains. Another beautiful sloppy and ruffled hairstyle is this haircut. Straight-haired men may easily pull off this style. If you have curly hair, though, you may want to avoid this.

The extremely gelled appearance of Ross Geller

This extremely gelled look, inspired by David Schwimmer’s on-screen character Ross Geller from FRIENDS, is another hairdo we want back now. This haircut is perfect for good boy charms since it makes you look clean and nice. It goes with any clothing, and gelled hair has a certain swagger to it.

The mullet haircut of Shah Rukh Khan

While most men learned to love, most ladies fell flat as they saw SRK light up the screen in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. This film also highlighted SRK and Kajol’s on-screen relationship, as well as the actor’s haircut. SRK’s curtain flicks with shorter hair in the front and longer in the back were another memorable style statement, a slight refinement to the original mullet hairstyle. 

Mane of the Heartthrob

Teenagers had a hand in bringing some style to their hair. Perhaps they were conducting a counter-revolution to the elder generations who wanted to dictate their haircuts.

This style, known as slick back, was popular among teenagers. It had side curls and was popular among men with short hair. It can be styled in a variety of ways to fit various hair types.

If you are unfamiliar with this hairdo, Michael Jackson was not a well-known figure in your life (Michael Jackson once donned this 1990 swag).

Jheri Curl Hairstyle

This haircut first became popular in the 1970s and then reappeared in the 1990s. Regrettably, the gels required to maintain this hairdo became more expensive over time, and it eventually fell out of favor.

Hairstyle with Cornrows

This haircut, popularised by hip hop culture, was a favorite among many young people, particularly Black Americans. Many hip-hop musicians and basketball stars wore it as a signature hairdo.

The Cut in the Bowl

It would have been strange if this haircut had been omitted, especially if you are reading this and spent a significant portion of your childhood in the 1990s. What is the significance of such a huge portion of childhood? This was a popular haircut among children.

Hair would be cut in similar lengths all the way around the head, just above the ears. This look was adopted by some punk rock bands, such as the Ramones.

Mullet is a popular hairstyle

The Beastie Boys deserve a standing ovation for kicking off this craze. The mullet haircut became popular when their song “Mullet Head” was released in 1994. Shorter hair in the front and longer hair in the back describe this haircut.

Hair that is wavy and floppy

If you recall Dawson from Dawson Creek, you’ve probably seen him with this hairstyle. This 90s hairstyle was popular because it had a natural curl that was not managed and was excessively tight, giving everyone who wore it a sophisticated appeal.

High-Top Fade

This one had me stumped. The hi-top fade was fashioned similarly to the flat top by fully cutting the side hairs and leaving the hair at the top alone.

The only difference between the two is that the center hair was left to grow longer in the hi-top fade than in the flat-top fade. Unfortunately, this one’s popularity waned in the late 1990s, but it resurfaced in 2010.

Mushroom 

This one looked eerily similar to the bowl. The mushroom was at the ears compared to the bowl, which was raised a little higher, and was still popular among kids in the 1990s (I’m sure you have one).

The Super-Gelled 

Men turned to gel when they couldn’t get their hair to look the way they wanted it to. The super-gelled style was created for folks who want curly hair that was not naturally curly.

It was a hairstyle for males with short, gelled hair that was parted in the middle from front to back. The middle part had a clear-cut line that reached beyond the middle of the top head, and it was popular with Brian Austin.

Tram Routes

In the 1990s, side hairlines were popular. It was a simple style that could be used with a variety of hairstyles as long as the side hair was cropped close to the head.

On both sides, the hair was clipped and three line-like images were drawn. This style was popularised by M.C. Hammer and is still fashionable among some guys today.

Hairstyles from the 1990s are one-of-a-kind and brilliant. The man was more than just a suit and tie throughout this time period. At the time, the fashion genius could not be overlooked or underrated.

The hairstyles of the 1990s left an indelible mark on the fashion world. Men’s hair grew shorter and was colored in general. The style survived until the 2000s, and it may still be found in the present world.

The most active components of society that have fueled the wave of hairstyles have been music and art. Celebrities are the ones that set the tone for hairstyles, and the general public follows suit.
