Embrace the power of hair styling nostalgia with a superstar-inspired look!
Long before HairTok and social media influencers, the grooming world relied on fashion icons whose impeccable taste dictated trends. Pamela Anderson, aka the queen of blonde locks, remains one of the most celebrated and inspirational figures for hair fans today. Her signature undone hairdos and voluminous blowouts are still in demand thanks to their timeless appeal. We’ve gathered three popular hairstyles inspired by the ‘90s diva you can now recreate at home!
Commonly dubbed as ‘Pam bun,’ this loose updo is the very definition of ‘woke-up-like-this’ glam. It features teased curls pilled on top and cascading tendrils that effortlessly frame the face from both sides. To master the coiffure, gather your tresses in a high ponytail while sectioning off the front pieces. Fold the pony in a messy bun and bring the front strands back by pinning them underneath the base for extra movement and fullness.
If you have bangs, use a straightener to create a cute bump in the middle and curl the side locks away from the face to achieve a wispy touch. Use a generous amount of texturizing spray for grit and enjoy your perfectly imperfect updo!
If you’ve ever watched “Baywatch,” you surely know that Pamela Anderson’s bouncy mane was also a paid actor. Her long, swishy locks fluttered in the wind, while the envious volume made the viewers swoon. Want the same look? Hop on board and note down!
Apply a volumizing mousse on damp hair and blow dry it. Then, use Velcro rollers for the top section for maximum lift at the roots. Curl the rest of the hair with a large-barrel curling iron or an airwrap tool. For a long-lasting blowout, blast each tendril with cold air to seal its shape. When the curls are set, remove the rollers and spritz everything with a hairspray. Ta-da! Your dream hairstyle is ready!
This ‘do is perfect for second-day wear, as you can easily transform your loose curls into a half upswept style. You’ll just need one clear elastic and a bit of hand magic. Separate the top layer from the rest of your tresses and tie it in a little ponytail. Next, split the pony and loop the hair through the bottom. Pull and tighten this section and fluff it up for the ultimate volume boost. With a couple of half updo hacks, you can also modernize your style anytime and be sure your hair will still look amazing!
If you’re obsessed with messy, effortless hairstyles as much as we are, this is your sign to take a retro ride with our selection of ‘90s-coded ‘dos. Remember, confidence is the key to the infallible look. So, here is to you being unstoppable like a Malibu Beach lifeguard!
