It’s been said that for every trend…there is a counter-trend. Some trends endure longer than most….while others are in and out at the blink of an eye.

She captioned the photo, “Anyone wanna bring back the spiral perm with me?” We say…skip the perm and cheat by ADDING the wave with extensions!

But the long, straight strand trend train doesn’t stop there. Rihanna also tried the style for her Fenty x Puma fashion show in Paris, where she accentuated her long cascade of hair with big hoops and a smoky eye.
Nicki Minaj is jumping on the bandwagon as well, recently trading her mid-length look for Rapunzel-worthy hair
