Messy Pigtails

In Jane Fonda’s earlier years, she was seen sporting a type of messy voluminous pigtails that stole the hearts of millions.

I have always been a fan of 90s hairstyles and Jane Fonda’s iconic looks. Hence, trying out this hairstyle was a must for me.

To recreate this look all I did was make long side bangs and created low ponytails. That’s it.

You might not be able to sport it in your workplace, but you can definitely wear it on a fun day out with friends or on a self-date.

Blonde Low Ponytail

Low ponytails are timeless and can instantly level up your whole aura making you appear fabulously polished.

In the case of Jane Fonda’s low ponytail, she sported her blonde hair and as a part of her staple look added a lot of volume on the crown.

The volume on the head makes your hair appear thick and provides a face-framing effect while enhancing your natural features.

I have tried this one for a lot of my clients and each of them rocked this hairstyle in every aesthetic from professional to vintage.

If you are looking for a hairstyle that screams elegant and retro then I suggest you go for this one.

Vintage Rounded Pony

Jane Fonda’s vintage pony is the epitome of a retro look that seems alluring while providing a Lana Del Rey aura, an American singer also famous for her amazing sense of style.

In my opinion, to perfect this hairstyle, you might have to add extensions to your ponytail. This will help you achieve the desired rounded effect.

The vintage pony is perfect for a black tie event and will make sure everyone’s eyes are on you.

I have yet to try this hairstyle out. However, as a devotee of both Jane Fonda and Lana Del Rey, I can assure you that this hairstyle will be on my next to-do list.

Claw Ponytail

The use of claw hair bands has made a comeback and taken the internet by storm thanks to TikTok trends.

Claw hair clips were part of a necessary accessory in the 90s, and Jane Fonda sported her claw ponytail like a diva.

I don’t usually go for this look in formal settings rather sport it in a more casual one as it provides a messy voluminous look.

It’s one of the easiest hairstyles on the list. To create this hairdo, all you gotta do is get your claw clip and tie half your hair up like a loose ponytail.

This specific type of claw ponytail provides a lot of movement and gives a bohemian vibe.

Moreover, one of my clients told me to sport this hairstyle for her because of its magnificence and because it looked like a perfectly made pretzel.

So create this look today and look like the main character straight out of a classic movie.

High Retro Pony

The high retro ponytail is now more famous because of the American singer-songwriter Ariana Grade, but Jane Fonda did it before her.

However, as Jane Fonda has sported more diverse hairstyles, she is more known for her short hairstyles from her later years rather than the mid-length ponytails.

I have lost count of how many times I have sported this look for its low maintenance.

Moreover, If I sport this one and go to my workplace I don’t have to think twice about my hairdo while joining an after-party.

Get this hairdo and be sure to make everyone swoon over your effortless hairstyle everywhere you go.

Retro Wave In Mid-Length Hair

No one thought mid-length hair could look so ethereal until Jane Fond sported it looking like a goddess.

The hairstyle looks pretty simple and easily attainable at home but its impact on your whole vibe will make you appear like the cover girl of a 90s magazine.

I have done this look countless times for my clients and every time they left my salon with a happy and gorgeous face.

To recreate this look, I have two tips for you that are, using A LOT of heat protectants and setting spray. These two products will help you achieve this look in no time.

Look like a fashion goddess with retro wavy hair.

Crown-High Pony

Jane Fonda in her crow-high pony looked enchanting ready to bewitch everyone with the waves on her ponytail.

I haven’t done this hairdo in a while but I can tell you how to do this.

All you have to do is create a high ponytail as high as you can preferably on your crown and secure it. Then curl the ends on the opposite of your face and use a setting spray to secure your curls.

That’s all there is to it.

There’s not much to it but it creates a memorable look. So, feel like a 90s pop star with your crown-high pony now!

After coming across the glamorous fluffy layered hairstyle, I felt like I still have a lot to learn as a hairstylist from Jane Fonda.

With the perfect face-framing side bangs and voluminous layers, everything about this hairstyle screams sensational sophistication.

Moreover, you won’t have to spend additional time trying to add volume to your hair every day. This haircut will provide you with enough fluffiness effortlessly.

I haven’t done this hairdo. But I can’t wait to recreate this one.

Thick Chinese Bangs

Thick Chinese bangs hairstyles always had their separate fanbase making everyone feel energetic and youthful.

In the case of Jane Fonda’s Chinese Bangs, the specialty lies in its aesthetic asymmetric part.

You can not fully call it a side bang or a Chinese bang but one side is definitely a bit longer than the other and it surprisingly looks visually pleasing.

In my opinion, the best part about this hairstyle is that you can sport this with any type of hair in any length and look super fab.

Take cues from this charming hairstyle and create one of your own while being a trendsetter.

Back Brushed Bangs

If you are looking for a suave hairstyle that will make you appear as a style icon right from the 90s then I strongly recommend you to try out back brushed bangs.

Jane Fonda has sported this hairstyle like a prima donna and you can think that it would be hard to achieve.

However, it is so easy that you don’t even need to see a hairstylist.

If you already have bangs then you don’t need to get one, but if you don’t then I am pretty sure you are capable of cutting one by yourself since we are all experienced with this haircut for our time spent during lockdown.

Now all you have to do is back brush your bangs and your ends. That’s it.

Pixie With Side Bangs

Jane Fonda is more celebrated for her short hairstyles and I think her love for this length started after sporting this specific pixie with side bangs.

I have recreated this hairstyle only once and it made my client look like an edgy rockstar.

The key point of this pixie is keeping all the hair side swept so that and maintaining a nice sideburn.

Sideburns are pretty uncommon for women’s haircut so getting this hairdo will make you appear as a rebellious trendsetter.

Moreover, you will gain a sense of self-assurance about your appearance.

Create a sensational pop idol-like hairdo and make everyone nod their head with approval with this hairdo.

Retro Headband

If you are looking for the perfect hairstyle to go with your gym outfit or retro aesthetic then I suggest you go for this one.

You might think that having a gym aesthetic and retro aura in one hairstyle is not possible. I mean it sounded crazy to me as well when I thought about it.

However, Jane Fonda has made it possible just by adding a retro headband.

The side-swept hair and wide hair band are enough to make you feel like a queen. Jane Fonda has sported this hairdo with a one-colored headband but you can always wear a more bold patterned one and customize the look.

Moreover, you won’t even need to style the rest of your hair except for maybe brushing it properly.

So be a go-getter and create this look right now.

Vintage Wavy Bob

If you are looking for a hairstyle that will add texture, volume, dimension, and movement to your overall look with a soft and natural aura, then I suggest you opt for a vintage wavy bob that’s similar to Jane Fonda’s.

I have tried this haircut for clients of different ages and everyone looked inexplicably graceful.

Moreover, this hairstyle provides the illusion of thicker and fuller hair.

Not that the mainstream beauty standards matter that much, however, this hairdo will check all the boxes for being the perfect one.

Furthermore, as the current trend is all for short haircuts you can easily sport this one and be trendy with a retro vibe.

Get in touch with the ethereal feeling of vintage aura with your wavy bob.

Back Brushed With Scarf

Are you in search of a hairdo that will protect your hair but want a simpler solution than getting a protective hairstyle?

Then I urge you ardently to get a scarf right this instant and wrap your head around it.

Depending on the scarf pattern you can easily change your aesthetic.

If you want a bold look similar to the one Jane Fonda has worn, then I suggest you go for one colored scarf. But to elevate that boldness I usually back brush my hair and then wrap the scarf.

However, if you want a more cottage-core vibe then you can always opt for a more colorful or flower-patterned scarf.

So style and protect your hair fashionably with a scarf and look like a runway model.

Voluminous Curly Ends

Have you come across something so simple and powerful that has the ability to change your overall look? Jane Fonda’s voluminous curly ends are that exact thing.

It has the perfect subtle elegance that is hard to achieve with most other hairstyles.  And as per its name, all you have to do is curl your ends. That’s it.

This looks even better with additional volume. So adding some extensions is a must to get the perfect look.

Messy And Fluffy Waves

Messy and fluffy waves have never looked better till Jane Fonda wore it. I mean the volume, the aesthetic, and the visuals it provides just make the whole hairstyle look otherworldly.

Jane Fonda looks like she was born to have all the fluffiness in the world on her hair and looks utterly phenomenal.

Moreover, it provides a lot of movement helping you to get the summer air in your hair.

Be sensual and alluring with your fluffy waves.

Sleek Low Pony

Sleek ponytails have been in the trend for a long time. I think it’s time for a little change now.

To be the trendsetter, I recommend Jane Fonda’s version of a low sleek ponytail that has a balanced sophistication and glam.

I mainly sport this hairstyle when I have a party to attend after work or a hangout with friends.

In my opinion, it looks best if you have the same length of hair all over or long side bangs.

It provides the face-framing effect you need in your life to enhance your mood, your outfit, and your everything.

When asked about their preference, my clients said that they go for this hairstyle as it exudes youthful chicness which is hard to achieve in sophisticated hairstyles.

If you are looking for something a bit fresh with enough movement and texture then I recommend you cut your mid-length hair in Jane Fonda’s type of layer.

This type of layer looks best if you have wavy hair but if you don’t you can always create some or sport it in your straight hair and personalize it.

This one is a bit difficult to achieve at home no matter how much experience you got during lockdown.

So make sure to consult your trusted stylist and get their opinion before chopping your hair off.

Mid-length layers are perfect for a summer makeover. So get this hairdo and slay the heat with fantastic styling.

Moreover, in my experience, whenever I did this for my clients they looked strong and intimidating.

So you can rock your villain era with a honey-blonde bob and feel the boost of confidence in your veins with this hairstyle.

Puffed-Up Half-Updo

Jane Fonda’s puffed-up half-updo keeps making a comeback now and then. I first noticed it when it became popular in 2013 and everyone around me was wearing their hair up high.

Then after a while this trend died down and girls only sported when they wanted to wear something vintage.

However, after almost a decade, this hairstyle has woken up from the dead successfully and the nostalgic feel looks charming in my opinion.

If you are looking for a hairstyle that is a bit youthful then I suggest you avoid this one. Because in my opinion, this hairstyle makes the wearer look a bit mature and sensational.

Red-Headed Bob

Ice-Blonde Bob

Most of us will think that ice-blonde hair will make you look old, well I agree with this statement in a way. Because the hair color will give you a more mature look rather than a funky one.

However, I have to admit whenever I see someone sporting their natural ice-blonde color with confidence or dyeing their hair in this specific color I feel nothing but respect.

Because not everyone has the confidence to pull off this look.

So if you are looking for an intimidating and unique look then I would suggest you go for Jane Fonda’s version of it.

The way she wears it only enhances her mesmerizing ravishing aura. Every time I come across this look of hers I can not stop myself from admiring her.

In my experience, this hairstyle looks best in blonde like how Jane Fonda sported it. However, you can always dye it in your favorite color.

Face Framing Layers

Jane Fonda’s face-framing layers are more like the stylized version of today’s popular butterfly cut but in mid-length hair.

I haven’t sported this one yet, however, I can not tell you how excited I was when I first saw this one on the internet.
