    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 Still looking for quality hair pieces that won’t look outdated?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?

    That was the 90's not 2000's
    debbie1000 15 Aug 2017 8:37 AM
    I remember the banana clips and wire headbands and also the whole wardrobe of bandanas I had in a multitude of colours, good times
    Deeknight 14 Aug 2017 10:15 PM
    I LOVED BANDANAS!
    Mandy_1987 14 Aug 2017 9:48 PM
    Ahh i miss the 90s so very much :(
    Mandy_1987 14 Aug 2017 9:47 PM
    I swear it was more the late 90s but I am guilty of all of these. The butterfly clips in particular! (I blame Buffy!)

    Wish we could go back 15-20 years... Best times ever :'(

    It actually makes me sad to see what society has become now.
    Emma Ocean 14 Aug 2017 5:26 PM
    OMG! HAIR MASCARA!! I'm having flashbacks!
    maggieball 13 Aug 2017 6:36 PM
    Ah I remember all of those - the zig zag headband especially - I’m sure I had most of them too.
    Neverland 13 Aug 2017 10:51 AM
    I remember them all! Lizzie McGuire isa great example of some of the beauty/fashion trends of the 2000's
    darasparkle 13 Aug 2017 10:24 AM
    Oh my gosh!! I did all of these things - but butterfly clips I was obsessed with. I had like 100 of those clips in glow in the dark, change the colour etc. Feeling my age now haha
    Fluffybunny 13 Aug 2017 7:05 AM
    I was a young girl and I remember my mum would put butterfly mini clips in my hair.
    RalucaP 12 Aug 2017 8:36 PM
    Oh my god , do we really have to go back there? The butterfly hair clips were my favourite , guilty !
    Dance 12 Aug 2017 6:58 PM
    Oh dear, I still use snap clips on my little girl!
    Stephanie2494 12 Aug 2017 4:24 PM
    I had so many bandannas when i was a kid. I loved them. And them big headbands that looked like bandannas, i loved them. My mum always used to do my braids with butterfly clips. So guilty of so many of these.
    Hayley644 12 Aug 2017 10:20 AM
    I remember more from the 80's when everyone had scrunchies and bow hair clips.
    Goddess..... 12 Aug 2017 5:46 PM
    Bandana's & Hair Mascara are the only one's that I never wore as for the rest, yes. Omg I used to love wearing those butterflies clips all the time.
    jewl 11 Aug 2017 10:36 PM
    Ooh i remember those butterfly clips and zig zag headbands. So cringeworthy lol
    Mayy 11 Aug 2017 8:17 PM
    Is it weird if I still love wearing a bandana on my head!
    Gotta love the 2000s!
    Tara133 11 Aug 2017 7:07 PM
    Embarrassed to say i used them all ! What were we thinking seriously?
    onlyoni 11 Aug 2017 6:47 PM
    I remember them all but didn't use any of them.
    morganlouise 11 Aug 2017 6:45 PM
    a couple i didnt know about wow
    jasmel05 11 Aug 2017 5:00 PM
    Yep I wore them all, even the bandana. One you missed that i loved was the banana clip so you could have a long flowing mane down your back with your fabulous perm.
    Rainbownerds 11 Aug 2017 1:43 PM
    Ah yeah i remember all these
    lelo11 11 Aug 2017 1:39 PM
    ahaha those were the good days ;)
    zigzagleft 11 Aug 2017 1:05 PM
    omg LOOL snap clips were my thing!! these days I use bobby pins :P
    Beauty Obsession 11 Aug 2017 12:40 PM
    Oh gosh I did the whole bandana thing...look at photos and cringe...a JLO wannabe...haha...did the zigzag headbands and butterfly clips too...I could see the zigzag making a comeback...
    ThisIsMe 11 Aug 2017 11:28 AM
    OMG yes!! I used to wear that zig zag one! and the butterfly clips too.
    MoonlightSak16 11 Aug 2017 10:41 AM
    I have some clips that I still use.
    bun 11 Aug 2017 10:35 AM
    I still like using snap clips though they're a bit harder to find these days. I think I still have hair scrunchies sitting in a drawer somewhere, why on earth did I think they looked good.
    Sparkles023 11 Aug 2017 10:19 AM
    I think some of these even go back to the late 90's. I remember a girl in school having a zigag head band and boy did she rock it!! I was so jelly that my Mum would never buy me one and I was working at 15 to buy my own. So that had to be 1998 surely!!
    Oh hair mascara hahaha!! All you needed to be set for a night of clubbing- how embarrasing
    thelifeoflaura 11 Aug 2017 8:49 AM
    I used to love butterfly clips and hair jewels, they were my jam!!
    Ellyloves 11 Aug 2017 8:43 AM
    Yes!! At that time I thought I was so cool, now.....I am feeling a little embarrassed
    CaitMay 11 Aug 2017 8:30 AM
    I remember all of these from my childhood haha - special times
    misfortune8 11 Aug 2017 3:28 AM
    I was a grown woman in the noughties, yet I'm guilty of the bandanas & hair mascara.
    Ellelily 10 Aug 2017 8:43 PM
    I recognise so many of these and guilty of using them also.
    Pink Hornet 10 Aug 2017 7:48 PM
    I only rocked the zig zag hairband and bandana. I stand by my choices, at the time they were "hot".
    TheUglyDuckling 10 Aug 2017 7:33 PM
    I can happily say that at that time, I didn't wear any of that stuff! I was a simple hair tie girl and that was it! You would even have a hard time getting me to the hair dresser!
    Beautybabe140194 10 Aug 2017 6:55 PM
    So many memories. I remember the butterfly clips, bandannas and fake hair scrunchies. I owned a lot of these things.
    jatz 10 Aug 2017 6:54 PM
    I remember them but didn't use any. I recall one of those back in the 90s though.
    blackkittykat 10 Aug 2017 6:54 PM
    Haha, yes, I remember these, but I only ever used the hair clips. Fake hair scrunchies *shudder*. SO wrong.
    Karenelle 10 Aug 2017 6:53 PM
    I remember the butterfly clips all too well, and used to tame down my curlies with them poking through! I saw an old friend recently, that used to live in a bandanna, and yes, he's still wearing one! I'm not saying another word.....
    Gilded 10 Aug 2017 5:42 PM
    Umm I think these are 90's accessories no? I don't remember using any one of these in the 00.
    cityglenda 10 Aug 2017 5:40 PM
    hehe. Look back at the 80s and have a real laugh.
    Chicklet 10 Aug 2017 5:37 PM
    I do remember these, but glad to say I didn't wear them!
    Rpear 10 Aug 2017 5:36 PM
    I think I did it all! How fun was hair back then hahaha
    dimmieloves 10 Aug 2017 5:08 PM
    Yes hair spirals and butterfly clips! I definitely remember the hair mascara that came with the Sabrina The Teenage Witch magazine subscription!
    tammerly sara 10 Aug 2017 4:16 PM
    Oh my goodness! I can't say I ever used these hair accessories - and thank God for that!
    freaky 10 Aug 2017 2:55 PM
    Those zigzag hair bands were so handy just put in and go. The butterfly clips are so pretty. I never got onto the hair mascara trend, but I still think theyre cool
    shaper 10 Aug 2017 2:55 PM
    Oh you have nothing on me... being an "Oldie" .I can go back to having my very own home grown Afro!! as I have very curly/frizzy hair and was blonde I thought I was just the greatest..fun looking at old photos though. What with the Afro and the wide leg pants .
