A couple of months back I decided to test out flexi rods on my hair for the very first time. I was surprised at how well these old-school, bendable sticks curled my hair. And was excited to hear that they were making a comeback this year. But apparently they aren't the only old-school hair tools that are having a moment. Everything from 90s-inspired scrunchies, to those sophisticated hot roller sets your abuela swears by, and even hair crimpers (believe it or not) are back in style this fall. Who would have known?

I don't know about you, but I'm psyched about these old-school tools suddenly popping up again! Scrunchies don't crease your hair, hot rollers boost volume, and flexi rods create perfect curls. I could probably do without the hair crimper, though. In any case, have fun this fall with a few of these other hair throwbacks!

Brooch
I can’t think of an easier way to polish up your strands than with a jewel hair brooch. Try Anthropologie Victoria Brooch Barrette ($28).
