While some are still obsessed with the Pumpkin Spice hair color trend (a look we were the first to report on eons ago), around this time of year, we’re focused on a different cult-favorite influencing seasonal trends. The latest inspiration to catch our eye comes from a classic we’re all obsessed with around this time of year — no, we’re not talking about Hocus Pocus. This season, we’re drawing style inspo from the movie Practical Magic.
An iconic spooky-sweet film that stars Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. Released in 1998, we can’t help but love the 90s trends that conspire. While the plot may feel a little farfetched, the beauty trends worn by the Owens sisters are still hits today. Practical Magic features all the 90s fall hair trends we could ever want. From 90s layers to the perfect see-through fringe, see how the Owens sisters are inspiring a new season of style.
Our Fave 90s Beauty Trends from Practical Magic
Curtain Bangs
While Nicole Kidman’s character was a bit of a rebel, her fringe was anything but. Her perfectly styled curtain-esque fringe complemented her color and face shape while offering a wispy finish.
Pair With: Living Proof Perfect hair Day Dry Shampoo
90s Layers
In addition to her see-through fringe, Gillian’s (played by Kidman) cut also featured an iconic face-frame that helped bring her style to cult status.
Pair With: AIIR Texture Styling Spray
Face-Framing Tendrils
Sally (Bullock) had exceptionally long, dark hair and the layers to match. To lighten her look, her style featured face-framing tendrils cut to captalize on showing off her jawline. Whether pulled back into a half pony, braided pigtails or worn down, the tendrils offered a messy-chic finish that helped bring together Sally’s homegrown style.
Pair With: Redken Spray Wax
Classic 90s Blowout
What really brought Kidman’s style to life was the effortlessly voluminous blowout she rocked. Smooth yet with slight bends and movement, the finish highlighted her face-framing layers and gave her copper color a chance to really shine.
Pair With: KEVIN.MURPHY EVER.SMOOTH
Natural-Looking Waves
While Bullock’s hair was mostly straight, she also had carefree moments of wearing her hair naturally wavy. More fluffy and brushed out than a classic beach-wave, this look features endless volume and shows off the subtle highlights in her hair.
Pair With: OUAI Wave Spray
