What Your Hairstyle Says About the Era You Love Most

Because your hair has a time-traveling personality of its own.

Ever styled your hair a certain way and instantly felt transported—like you should be dancing at Studio 54 or strolling the streets of Paris with a baguette and a bob?
It’s not just style—it’s vibe.

At Silkie, we believe your hair tells a story, and sometimes, that story is written in vintage waves, ‘90s layers, or a Y2K claw clip.

Let’s decode what your go-to hairstyle says about the era you’re secretly obsessed with—and how to make it even more fabulous with a few Silkie upgrades.

1. Old Hollywood Waves = You’re a Glamorous ‘50s Girl

You're all about timeless elegance and romantic drama.
Think Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, red lipstick, and silky robes.

What this says about you:
You love luxury, you romanticize everything (even your coffee), and you're not afraid of a little drama—as long as it’s dressed in satin.

Silkie Tip:
Set those waves at night and sleep on a Silkie silk pillowcase to keep them smooth and frizz-free. No crunch, no crease, just classic.

2. Sleek Middle Part = Hello, ‘90s Minimalist Queen

Whether it's straight and shiny or pulled back into a model-off-duty bun, this style screams ‘90s Kate Moss meets modern Zendaya.

What this says about you:
You’re into clean lines, matcha lattes, elevated basics, and scrolling Pinterest like it’s your job. You appreciate the “less is more” aesthetic but always know how to turn heads.

Silkie Tip:
Use a Silkie brush to get that glassy finish—smooth roots, no flyaways. Then secure your bun with a neutral Silkie scrunchie for that effortless polish.

3. High Ponytail = You’re a Total 2000s Baby

Y2K called and said, “Keep being iconic.”
This look brings the drama—snatched, bold, and ready for a mirror selfie.

What this says about you:
You’re confident, energetic, and love a touch of nostalgia. You still think about your first Lip Smacker and have a playlist filled with Destiny’s Child.

Silkie Tip:
Use a Silkie silk scrunchie to hold your pony without breakage (because we’ve evolved past tight elastics, thank you very much). Bonus: it gives the look a grown-up, elevated twist.

4. Shaggy Layers or Curtain Bangs = A ‘70s Soul Sister

You’ve got a soft spot for effortless beauty and rebel energy. Whether you’re channeling Farrah Fawcett or modern-day retro baddies, your hair always has movement.

What this says about you:
You’re artsy, free-spirited, and probably thrift half your wardrobe. You’re not afraid to go a little wild—whether that’s with texture or playlists.

Silkie Tip:
Use your Silkie brush to fluff your bangs or layers in the morning. And at night? Let a Silkie pillowcase preserve your volume while you dream of disco balls.

5. Bobs, Pixie Cuts, and Sleek Crops = You Love the French ‘60s

Think Audrey Hepburn, Jane Birkin, and minimal but impactful beauty. If you gravitate toward these short styles, you’re about that French girl life.

What this says about you:
You’re effortlessly chic, a little mysterious, and more into quality over quantity. You’re also probably the friend everyone turns to for aesthetic advice.

Silkie Tip:
Wrap your short hair in a mini silk scarf or tie it back loosely with a small Silkie scrunchie. It keeps your shape crisp and gives off instant editorial vibes.

6. Claw Clips, Wispy Tendrils, & Fluffy Layers = You’re Stuck in the Early 2000s (in the best way)

This one’s for the girls who still scream when a song from The OC comes on and will always love a side part.

What this says about you:
You’re playful, nostalgic, and probably have the best throwback references. Your style is soft, flirty, and full of personality.

Silkie Tip:
Use Silkie’s satin scrunchies or a silk claw clip (if you have one!) to level up the aesthetic without damaging your strands.

Final Thoughts: Your Hair, Your Era, Your Energy
