    If you remember 2000s fashion, you’ll remember all the crazy 2000s hairstyles – it was all about zig zag parts, extreme sideswept fringes and those tiny bits of hair that we all left out of our ponytails.

    RELATED: Memorable hairstyles from the 90s

    Yes, here at beautyheaven we remember those flashy 2000s trends all too well. But what about all the hair accessories you wore with those early 2000s hairstyles? I for one had permanently blocked the memory of most of these hair trends from my brain… until now! Get ready to be transported back to the days of 2000s fashion as we revisit the best hair accessories from the 2000s.

    Fake hair scrunchies

    I can understand the idea behind a fake hair scrunchie – it’ll make your hair look thicker! More trendy! It’ll cut down your styling time! But back in the early 2000s, our hair pieces weren’t quite there yet. Still looking for quality hair pieces that won’t look outdated? Try Headlines Hairpieces Australia.

    Hair mascara

    The 2000s was the decade we all experimented with our colour. Hair mascara provided an easy, wash-out alternative for all those crazy colour streaks we so desperately wanted. Nevermind that it was awkward to apply and gave our hair an unusually crunchy texture – every girl at the local blue light disco was wearing it!

    Butterfly clips

    Now I know you remember these! Every 2000s girl worth her weight in Hubba Bubba wore butterfly clips on the daily. They were the ultimate way to finish off those hair twists we all sported (but caused the worst pain imaginable if you hit your head on something while they were in!).

    Zig-zag headbands

    These zig-zag headbands were hands down the easiest and quickest way to get all your hair off your face. So effective that even David Beckham wore his zig-zag headband with pride! But my favourite part was that my hair looked freshly combed every time I wore one – even if it wasn’t!

    Bandanas

    I’m pretty sure the bandana lost all street cred right around the time it was worn by a young Mary-Kate Olsen. We started wearing them all folded up in a band after J.Lo rocked this trend at the 2000 MTV Movie Awards.

    Hair jewels

    They’re still a big thing when it comes to weddings, but back in the day we wore hair jewels every single day. You could just twist them in and voila! Instant glamour.

    Snap clips

    Snap clips were all the rage, especially in cute patterns and bright colours. Because how else were you going to grow out the wonky fringe that your mum decided to cut for you?

    Hair jewels are beautiful. Never worn them before.
    Kate Giddy 22 Nov 2018 6:16 PM
    Snap clips are back in style! All the girls at my high school wear them, for like a vintage look I guess!
    Karlie 361 14 Nov 2018 4:11 PM
    I loved butterfly clips and I used to twist my hair the same. Cringeworthy now but super cool back then. Specially if you had glittery ones.
    Anissaelhaddad 14 Nov 2018 3:15 PM
    Lmao fake hair scrunchies
    Keza 5 Sep 2018 8:39 AM
    Argh such good memories! Didn't go for the fake hair scrunchies thankfully but had the hair clips!
    Kate Giddy 22 Nov 2018 6:17 PM
    Keep them! THE CLIPS ARE BACK IN STYLE!
    Okatko 3 Sep 2018 12:16 AM
    I think I still have some of these tucked away just waiting for the moment I can use them again.
    BeeAy 2 Sep 2018 11:05 PM
    Oh, I miss these! The zigzag hair band was a favourite! Hair jewels and snaps were fun, too! I never tried hair mascara, though, I was always scared they could ruin my hair.
    Claire88 2 Sep 2018 10:03 PM
    Haha.... brings back lots of fun memories when I was more adventurous with hair accessories. I remember making neon scrunchies to match my socks or to accessorise my tube skirts...oh dear!
    You beauty 2 Sep 2018 8:17 PM
    Great 90s, bring back hair jewells.
    Yohanna 2 Sep 2018 12:29 PM
    Hair jewels are super pretty, want them back!
    blackkittykat 1 Sep 2018 11:49 PM
    Ah the memories. We had so much to learn! I loved the zig zag parts but still laugh whenever I see someone wearing a scrunchie. They're coming back into fashion!!!!
    Lawliet 1 Sep 2018 8:38 PM
    Hair mascara was the best! The fake hair scrunchies though LOL I completely forgot about those.
    cityglenda 1 Sep 2018 5:53 PM
    hehe. I remember all these. Thankfully I didn't buy those fake hair scrunchies but I do still have those hair clips
    IndieAna 1 Sep 2018 5:10 PM
    I had all of these, except bandanas. I loved my hair scrunchie, well until it started looking like some furry thing had died on my head, lol
    Claire88 2 Sep 2018 10:00 PM
    Omg Indie!! That’s so funny! I had a huge collection of scrunchies and even made my own to match outfits.
    BlueBite 1 Sep 2018 2:47 PM
    I am so guilty of the butterfly clips and hair jewels! I was, and still am, obsessed!
    Beccaduncan23 1 Sep 2018 12:23 PM
    I used to love hair mascara before I was allowed to dye my hair!
    misfortune8 1 Sep 2018 1:35 AM
    I had a zigzag headband but it would never work. I still use snap bands to prevent flyaways when I wear a ponytail or plait.
    IndieAna 1 Sep 2018 5:09 PM
    That headband never worked for me, wither, _Mis8_, I was so disappointed! lol
    Beautybabe140194 31 Aug 2018 11:08 PM
    Haha yes I did a few of these and witnessed my sister do more of these.
    Elunia 31 Aug 2018 10:51 PM
    The only thing I didn't have was the bandana.
    katrina176 31 Aug 2018 8:21 PM
    Butterfly hair clips...oh wow do i remember those little things haha.
    Miss19 31 Aug 2018 7:26 PM
    OMG I remember I used to have the fake hair scrunchie! Every time I would see it in the drawer I would freak out
    Snazzie 31 Aug 2018 5:26 PM
    I still use snap clips. So easy to just get that fringe out of my face when it isn't behaving the way I want it to :-)
    NellAdams 31 Aug 2018 2:42 PM
    Honestly this is why I can never take trends quite THAT seriously no matter how cool they are... because I look at it and know we'll look back in 15-20 years and be like HAHAHA WHAT NO
    Chrystalage 31 Aug 2018 1:44 PM
    Quite a few people still wear bandanas but I'm guessing they are mostly popular with men nowadays.
    Popsicle 31 Aug 2018 1:14 PM
    Ah the memories! Thanks bh
    clearcrystalwater 31 Aug 2018 10:50 AM
    In that era I was a mum of three young girls so I was primarly focussed on what I was doing with their hair and not my own. I used the clips and butterfly clips in their hair - I still have them all in a big pot of all the hair accessories they used from that time. I can't bring myself to throw them out - so sentimental!
    Tee631 31 Aug 2018 10:40 AM
    Oh I miss the clips
    duality 31 Aug 2018 10:24 AM
    The jewels are kinda cute and the bandana great for a greasy hair day, what a great collection of trends, had some laughs remembering these!
    MoonlightSak16 31 Aug 2018 9:27 AM
    Ohhh dear I remember in the year 2000 I had got my first full time job at a perfume duty free shop at an International Airport. I was sporting all these hair accessories. especially the tiny butterfly clips and the hair jewels. My colleague always used to ask me where I buy my trendy hair accessories from haha...
    zanox 31 Aug 2018 9:19 AM
    OMG..butterfly clips! My favourite hair accessories during my teenage years!
    Eskimo82 17 Jul 2018 6:03 PM
    The butterfly clips lol!!! Never ever saw hair mascara though...
    beautyfun 9 Jul 2018 6:17 PM
    I have worn the one on the top left. ha ha but many years ago now.
    Ellyloves 25 Feb 2018 1:10 AM
    I don’t think I remember seeing the fake hair!!
    Rpear 24 Feb 2018 1:27 PM
    The kids in my class do most of these still !!! Hahahah or variations of them so they must be still around !
    Ellyloves 25 Feb 2018 1:11 AM
    That’s so surprising!!
    Rpear 9 Jul 2018 4:39 PM
    Haha funny hey !! They also wear these massive bows called jojo bows!!
    Marion67 26 Oct 2017 4:01 PM
    Gee I've only used one of them and still do the snap clips.
    josella432 15 Oct 2017 9:34 PM
    Just think, in a few more years the noughties will be back in fashion.
    Yohanna 30 Aug 2017 3:18 PM
    And I still have hair jewels! Wore them only once xD

    Those zigzag thingies, I could never use them, they just slid off (due to my odd head shape, plus it looked funny)
    Yohanna 30 Aug 2017 3:16 PM
    ahahaha...Europe was coming with trends always a bit sooner than Australia. Hair mascaras were popular about 1995-1997 or so, I was using blue one like on the pic! hahaha love this article, brings memories!
    Shop A Everyday 20 Aug 2017 6:36 PM
    I use to love butterfly clips and combs
    sootyblack_14 20 Aug 2017 11:25 AM
    Talk about a blast from the past!!! Ha ha!!! I used so many of these it is unbelievable!!! Ha ha!!!
    Steph Sweets 19 Aug 2017 8:11 PM
    I only would use snap and butterfly clips.
    Sally10 18 Aug 2017 8:16 PM
    I bypassed all of these, I didn't like any of them at the time!
    Petal 16 Aug 2017 5:53 PM
    We probably had more fun with our beauty looks back then. Now so many people (mostly on YouTube and Instagram) are trying to achieve perfection through over-contoured faces, cheeks with so much highlighter that some people look like light bulbs, heavy-looking eyebrows, concealer-like lips etc.

    jaffacat 15 Aug 2017 7:13 PM
    ohhh man the butterfly hair clips to hold little twisty bits of hair! Also did the tiny little plaits throughout the hair and held in place by fluoro bands!
    Chrystalage 15 Aug 2017 5:08 PM
    Aww I actually don't mind some of those hair accessories. I don't mind being a bit of a dork
