When it comes to hairstyles, Y2K hairdos are currently making a comeback and becoming a popular trend among young people.
Y2K (Year 2000) is a trend that emerged in the late 90s and early 2000s, marking the transition between the two eras. That's why Y2K is considered a style that combines classic elements with a modern and progressive vibe.
Y2K trends not only manifest through clothing, makeup, or nail colours but also leave a strong impression through uniquely familiar hairstyles.
Ponytail
Becoming one of the most iconic trends of the year 2000, the ponytail hairstyle is still favoured by many people due to its simplicity, versatility, and elegance.

The notable advantage of the ponytail style is its neatness, which highlights the graceful appearance of the face, making it suitable for all hair types. In the 2000s, the ponytail was often paired with a side-swept bang to create a classy and vintage look for ladies. This hairstyle is adapted in various ways to accommodate individual Y2K creativity.

Moreover, this hairstyle is convenient as it is not heavily dependent on outfits or occasions.
Baby Braids
The list of Y2K hairstyles would not be complete without baby braids. It was considered one of the most innovative hairstyles, depending on personal characteristics and styles.

This Y2K hairstyle suits busy girls because of its quick and easy process while maintaining aesthetic appeal. All that needs to do is to take a few strands of hair and braid them tightly and evenly. Celebrities such as Jennie (Blackpink), Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, and Dua Lipa have promoted baby braids enthusiastically.

Contrast Hair Coloring
When talking about Y2K style, we think of vibrant and eye-catching colours that adorn outfits, nails, makeup, and hair. The key to embracing this trend is to combine two contrasting hair colours distinctly.

The contrasting colours enhance the complexion and facial features and add a trendy, attractive touch to individuals. Therefore, this hairstyle, although slightly demanding, still makes it to the favourite list of Y2K enthusiasts.
Turban
Throughout the history of the fashion industry, the head turban joined Hollywood in the 70s. The turban headscarf can evoke images of classic and seductive movie stars or iconic black singers onstage. Its resurgence in the late 90s helped include the turban in the Y2K style list.

From the 2000s to the present, the turban represents a modern and avant-garde spirit. Square silk scarves, triangular folds, or fully covering hair have become the "puzzle pieces" for fashionistas to express their colours through unique combinations.
Bubble Braids
First appearing in the mid-2000s, bubble braids only maintained their popularity briefly. However, thanks to the variations by Y2K enthusiasts, this hairstyle has returned with a new look. Bubble braids suggest the perfect Y2K outfit: simple, tidy, dynamic, and time-saving while creating harmony.
