'90s Hair Accessories Are Back — And Will Make You Wish You Never Tossed Your Scrunchies

My first scrunchie sighting happened around two months ago. I was ordering my morning latte when I noticed one plopped atop my barista's head. A few days later, I watched a fellow hot yoga classmate throw her hair back with a blue one. I chalked the first two glimpses up as coincidences until I arrived to work one day to see my deskmate — a certifiable trendsetter — rocking one on casual Friday. "What is happening?" I thought to myself. The last scrunchie I owned since 1998 is the one I use to pull my hair back while I wash my face, and even that hasn't seen the light outside of my bathroom. Were scrunchies ... back??? And even worse, why wasn't I physically repulsed by this sudden shift in trends? What would be next to reemerge from the depths of pre-millenium fashions??? (Cue fannypacks). 

Maybe it's the nostalgic reminder of primary school picture days; maybe it's my own repressed desire to look like an extra in Clueless, but I think I've become the newest member of scrunchies anonymous. 

What's more, the throwback accessories don't stop there. From headbands and pom poms to barettes and butterfly clips, '90s-inspired baubles are undeniably en vogue. Looking to time travel your tresses? Check out the below for a look that's anything but dated.
