They say what goes around comes around, and that’s certainly the case when it comes to hair trends. A new collection from Gareth West, a salon owner and celebrity stylist from Knutsford, England, takes inspiration from the Britpop scene of the early ’90s (which itself was simultaneously a reaction to grunge and a reimagination of the 1960s British Invasion). Shaggy, disheveled mops bring to mind the looks from such bands as Oasis and Blur, while piece-y styling and modern texture make the looks fresh for today. So put your headphones on, slip a CD into your Walkman and take a trip down memory lane as you glean inspiration for your retro rock stars.

Light product usage and haphazard placement give this look a fresh feel.
