While some styles are a throw-back to 80's and 90's styles or even before, there are variations that make them quite unique. These looks are being described as "low-key" and rather effortless compared to some of the more recent looks we've all spent hours trying to recreate.

"Scrunchies" are back - They wrote the book on effortless!
