Raccoon hair was the defining hairstyle of the emo scene kid. It was virtually impossible to scroll through Myspace without seeing someone show off this look in their newest mirror selfie (taken with a digital camera, of course). This two-toned look was usually comprised of black hair with lighter, horizontal chunky stripes, creating the raccoon tail effect. However, if you weren’t ready to take the plunge and dye your hair, you could easily find raccoon tail hair extensions at your local mall. While we’re loving all of these 2000s trends that are making a comeback, we have to admit, we’re happy the scene kid look is getting a bit of an upgrade this time around. Keep scrolling to find out how raccoon tail hair is coming back in a new way.
