Introduction – About Y2K era fashion retro
First, let’s briefly introduce what y2k is. I’m not going to write a paper here, so don’t worry about it being long! If you know enough about y2k, then go straight to our y2k hairstyle discussion in PART TWO!
I found that someone on the Internet said, in the millennium era, people’s vision for the future is mixed with a certain degree of nihilism. The social panic that accompanied the Y2000 Problem caused excitement and anxiety to coexist.
Today, when people re-enact millennium fashion, they are re-enacting the optimism of the period.
“By turning back history just twenty years, we can forget the hardships caused by the economic depression and the new crown epidemic pandemic.”

Y2K Hairstyles and Popular Trends
Y2K Hairstyles-High Ponytail And Middle Parting
These are actually iconic Y2K Hairstyles. The center-parted style is ceremonial and symmetrical, giving people a serious impression. However, Y2K’s middle parting hairstyles are usually paired with hairpins, and the hair at the back is tied into a double high ponytail or braided. This style combines retro style with a sense of vitality and playfulness.

The most noteworthy thing about high ponytail hairstyles is—fragmented hair! That’s exactly the key to Y2K ponytail. If you miss this point, you are just making a regular ponytail. The fragmented hair makes your hairstyle a casual one, like you just tie your hair up casually. This sense of randomness is one of the essential elements of y2k hairstyle! A high ponytail can raise the top of your head visually. In addition to its cute features, it can also show off your cool girl crush charm.

Y2K Hairstyles-Diverse Hair Coloring and Dyeing
When talking about Y2K, colorful colors come to mind. They are bright, attractive and definitely stand out. As for hair color, we need to choose carefully. Choose a color that suits you. That’s based on your skin tone, and the overall style of the look you want to accomplish. This doesn’t mean that you have to dye your hair to complete a y2k hairstyle, but dyeing your hair will undoubtedly take your y2k look to the next level.
Y2K hair dye can be dyed all over or with highlights, it’s not bound. For fully dyed, gold, silver gray, and white are very common colors, and these colors will look really beautiful with hairpins! Highlights are also popular nowadays. Green, purple, and pink highlights are all suitable, especially black and pink, which are completely y2k’s perfect colors!
Y2K Hairstyles- Braids and Hair Accessories
Braids and Hair Accessories are the two elements that I think require the least effort but have the best results in Y2K hairstyle. The so-called get twice the result with half the effort! Y2K’s braided hair is best made into thin braids, decorated with brightly colored beads. If you have highlighted hair, you can braid the dyed hair and the original hair together to create a hairstyle that is unique to you.

There are many styles of Y2K hairpins, most of which are colorful and strange in shape. There is a rule for choosing Y2K hairpins: either big or small! Either the hairpins are large in size and can instantly attract attention and become the finishing touch in your hairstyle, or the hairpins are small in size and are concentrated in a certain section of hair or scattered in patches of hair. Choose one of the two to perfectly perform the function of the hairpin. If you want both, it is easy to become top-heavy and lose the focus of your hairstyle.
