THEN: According to Susan Carter, a portfolio colorist with L’Oréal Professionnel, foil highlights were popular in 1995. Carter says that Alicia Silverstone, who plays Cher in the movie “Clueless,” is “a natural deep blonde.”

“Remember when they used to pull those hat highlights through with the tiny crochet hook?” It’s possible, since the highlights were so light and gave the whole head a pretty even blonde glow.

NOW: What makes [Cher’s style] so unique right now, according to Carter, is the depth of the re-growth, which is something we frequently see on magazine covers and undoubtedly on people in North America. “So that’s where the current tendency is, but we’re doing it on purpose,” the speaker said.

For Cher, I think she recently experienced regrowth, as if she had had highlights applied two months prior and they gradually grew out. She already has wonderful, sandy, dirty blond hair, so it fits perfectly.

NOW: (continued) “What we’re doing right now is deliberately faking that look [of regrowth].” I will have a client come in, and I will do exactly what they did to her hair: I will do finely woven highlights, but I will also take a gloss, which is comparable to a semi-permanent hair color, and I will go about two shades deeper at the re-growth, just to create a very soft beginning of the highlight and to make it look like it has grown out.

THEN: An updo is unmistakably traditional. It’s been around since at least the 1970s.

Now: update the look with an updo that is less messy and more structured, like Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection.

THEN: Headbands were fantastic back then, and they are still in style today.

NOW: Accept Cher’s fondness for the hairpiece, but style it a bit closer to the hairline than she did at the Fendi F/W 2015 runway show. Louis Hechter, a hairdresser and the editorial director for L’Oréal Professionnel, says that to get volume like Cher’s, you should divide your hair into nine equal parts and blow-dry it at a 90-degree angle from the roots.

Hechter advises adding mousse to the hair to give it more volume. “Roll each piece into your fingers and pin curl it once you blow dry it.” Visit a professional hairdresser to try L’Oréal Professionnel Full Volume Extra Strong Hold Volume Mousse by Tecni. Art ($23).
