Winona Ryder – A 90s Icon.

The following hairdos are funky, stylish and most importantly, are something you can wip up super fast in the morning!

Gwyneth Paltrow’s incredible topknot is effortlessly wonderful! Pulled back into a messy, high bun, and tied with a silk black ribbon, the key to this hairdo is the way she leaves out two long strands – so it doesn’t come across as her ‘trying to hard’.
