Fashion Girls Keep Wearing This Super-'90s Hair Accessory, and I Have Questions
When it comes to '90s style, there are a few quintessential pieces like tube tops, teeny handbags, and flatform footwear that make it so easy to identify a look from the era. And, not surprisingly, the same is true on the beauty front.
Considering it was a time when razor-thin eyebrows, frosty eye shadow, and tinsel hair extensions reigned supreme (woof), it's hard to believe that any of the beauty markers from the '90s have managed to re-emerge in the modern zeitgeist. But, surprise, claw hair clips have done just that, and I need answers as to why.
