TikTok Has Spoken—Blonde Hair Is Offically Cheugy?!
Is Blonde Hair Now A Fashion Faux Pas? Here’s What Social Media Is Saying + Our Tips
Apparently, Gen Z has spoken and blonde hair is a cheugy thing of the past. Before you text your friends and ask—cheugy means untrendy or no longer stylish and cool. We can’t be sure when Gen Z became the headmaster on hair trends, but we aren’t too surprised. Remember the side-part and skinny jeans controversy?
The blonde hair strike began on TikTok when creators noticed celebs like Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber and Florence Pugh ditching their signature blonde for darker-toned hair. According to New York Post, “Gen Z has struck again, now declaring that blonde hair is outdated and darker shades are in.”
