The wicked awesome high school sitcom captured a major movement in early '90s pop culture: Just look at their hair for proof!
1. Jessie Spano’s Curly Mane
Smart, strong-willed Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) keeps her wonderfully wild curls together with a giant headband bow.
2. Kelly Kapowski’s Super Cool Mall bangs
Tiffani Thiessen as Kelly Kapowski is practically the Platonic ideal of the '90s girl next door.
3. Zack Morris’s Floppy Blonde Hair
With a flip of his blonde locks and a smile, Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) has all the girls of Bayside High (except sometimes Kelly) swooning.
4. Zack Morris’s Rock Star Look
The celebrity Zack Morris of the possible "future" looks (and acts) eerily similar to modern day tabloid fodder. Looking at you, Justin Bieber.
5. A.C. Slater’s curly mullet
The sporty hunk of the group, A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez) wouldn't be the same without his signature short, curly mullet. Years later, Lopez revealed the curls came from a perm!
6. Screech’s ‘Fro
Bayside High's resident nerd, played by Dustin Diamond, sports a curly, untamed 'fro throughout the run of the show, and as such, it became the quintessential '90s geek look.
7. Lisa Turtle’s Teased Ponytail
The always stylish Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies) builds her ultra-teased, curly ponytail in a cloud of hairspray, topping it off with a giant, obnoxious scrunchie
8. Mr. Belding’s Definitely Not Balding
The farther back his hairline recedes, the fuller Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) grows out his hair everywhere else.
9. Lisa’s Epic Hat Game
No one dons a trendy hat to go with her designer suit to high school like Lisa. She goes on to attend FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology), after all.
10. Violet’s Braided Pigtails
Screech's sometime girlfriend Violet (played by then unknown Tori Spelling) straddles the line between geek chic and plain old geeky with her high, braided pigtails.
11. Lisa’s Giant Headband
"Don't get me started" on how imperative it was to own and wear a thick, hairline-consuming headband in the '90s.
12. Max’s Massive Hair
Max (Ed Alonzo), the owner of the ultimate after school hangout, The Max Cafe, sports the actor/magician's signature hairdo, which can only be described as a curly take on the hi-top fade.
13. Kelly’s Cheerleading Look
As the captain of the cheerleading team, not to mention the volleyball, softball and swim teams, Kelly knows the importance of keeping her hair out of her face. Pinning some of her hair back, she shows off her rad bangs even more.
14. Lisa’s Half-Up ‘Do
While practically every female character on Saved By the Bell has worn a half-up, half-down look, the fashionista Lisa has made it famous.
15. Tori’s Bad-Girl Bouffant
New girl and biker chick Tori (Leanna Creel) mashes up Kelly's mall bangs and Jessie's curls into one tough look.
