7 Hairstyles From Moesha That Perfectly Sum Up Black Beauty In the 90s

It's rare for us to see Moesha (Brandy) not wearing box braids on the show, and she kicked the series off in its first season wearing the braided lob that was everywhere in the '90s. Though the style rose to popularity over two decades ago, it's seen a resurgence in the last few years.

Next on the list of '90s hairstyles making a comeback? The shag haircut that Moesha's stepmother, Dee (Sheryl Lee Ralph), wears throughout the first season. Dee wears her haircut with the ends flipped out, which was popular back then, though the choppy style's 2020 comeback has been given a bit of a modern update and can be worn straight or wavy.

Before the flipped under bob became popular, there was the chin-length, flipped out bob. This style is primarily worn by Ashli (Gabrielle Union), and it's giving me some pretty wild flashbacks to my elementary school years.

Moesha frequently changes up the look of her braided hairstyles, and in one episode, she's seen wearing them in tight curls that frame her face, perfectly demonstrating how versatile protective styles like this really are.

The bowl haircut, as it's seen on Niecy (Shar Jackson), was a huge statement cut in the '80s and '90s, though in recent years it's been given an edgier upgrade by stars like Charlize Theron and Miley Cyrus.

Nothing screams '90s beauty quite like the mini clips Moesha uses to pin her braids back in low pigtails. If you're dying to recreate the style (like me), you can shop for similar looking butterfly clips, which have been seeing a comeback in recent months, from a handful of retailers like Target and Forever 21.

In one episode, Moesha styles her hair into half-up space buns on both sides of her head, giving us major Baby Spice vibes.
