Ok we're ready for something new...really new.
, hoards of people with long hair use a brush to pull their curled bangs forward, then flip their heads up and down to reveal voluminous waves as Lisa Lisa wonders what would happen if she took her lover home. And everywhere else, French tips have transcended the wedding circuit. If you haven't heard, beauty trends from the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and Y2K are back — again.
I'm almost overwhelmed by the strong sense of nostalgia that is defining the beauty trends we see today. It makes me wonder what the defining "look" of the 2020s is going to be — and how it will differ from what's been offered up in the past. Nostalgia has been a dominating force in our culture since time immemorial. It's a recurring theme in industries outside of beauty and fashion, too — just look to the several reboots of TV shows and movies. There has always been some element of nostalgia that influences the trends of each decade. It usually happens in an approximately 20-year cycle. For example, we're in the 2020s now, so Y2K aesthetics are back in a major way.
We reminisce on the past for a reason. Sometimes it's to recall an old memory. Other times it's a way of seeking comfort, according to Krystine Batcho, Ph.D., who is a professor of psychology at LeMoyne College. On the, she explained that there are two types of nostalgia, one is personal and the other historical. The latter refers to when someone longs for a period of time they never experienced, like Gen Z looking to the early 2000s or '70s for beauty inspiration.
Given our current reality with the COVID-19 pandemic, it's not too shocking that nostalgia has proliferated the way it has. Many of us are struggling to cope with these unstable times and seeking some sort of comfort. Looking to the past can provide an escape. It can also be hard to feel inspired or find exciting things during these unstable times.
