women: Permed afros, mall hair, crimped hair, big bangs, blatant mullets. Or perming as such, for that matter. It forces hair into the shape - well - permanently - and can damage it.
men: the spiky look that seems finally to be creeping out of style
Say, Sophie, what does your hair look like now? Was it different in the 1980s?
OK, let me state one thing very clearly, I NEVER had mall (the claw) bangs in the 80's...But I did have a perm all the way through the 80's right up until the early 90's. always long...long...long!
Hey, I did hair...and in the 80's we permed everyone, I think it was a rule. LOL
But now, my hair is just below my chin, long on top, layered and chunked out in back, and highlighted with kind of taupey honey color as I'm a level 3 brunette naturally. And, I like the a look of a lot of texture, so I love Styling products. Kind of messy looking really, but then I love that too!

I also have to say...Duke Daarling... the Texture Waves (perms) that are coming out are really beautiful, But, it can be key that you find a stylist great at giving perms.
I remember the Boz, that was awful. He used to paint colrs on the sides of his head (either red and white, the colors at Oklahoma, or blue and green, the colors he wore when he played for the NFL's Seattle Seahawks)
Wow! I never thought this thread would be so popular.
You know what hair trend I hope DOES come back? 70's style Charlie's Angels dos. Is that called feathered??
Like the dumb sister on That 70's Show. I love her hair. Jackie on the same show has the same style, just different color. I imagine the style would take more time in the morning than I am willing to spend.
Did any actual people achieve that style successfully in the 70's, or just TV and movie actresses with a stylist standing nearby at all times?

Oh believe me, we had styling products strong enough to make that style work...PM's Freeze n Shine...comes to mind. The same stuff that made those Mall bangs stand straight up, LOL.
What about the Grundge thing that was going on, late 80's...? I liked it. That's when the really fun and creative styling products started to come out.
OK...I wasn't born until 1984 so the 80s are not my most familiar decade. I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying reading all this. This is a great thread!!

I saw an old trend the other day I completely forgot about.......the Chrissy ponytails....on Threes Company.
Anyone remember these?

Oh my god... My mom used to style mine and my sister's hair with HUGE POOFY bangs in the 90's! And it was strictly an 80's thing too. I was made fun of for that to the point where when I got to school I would brush them down. Oy vey.
Great thread. Been meaning to get here but never quite made it.
First of, do you all remember the 60s prom styles where the girls had like 6 foot of teased and super sprayed curls that were sprayed so much that literally they could have hurt someone if they bumped into the curls? YUCK.
And I remember the rat tails. YUCK YUCK.
Finally, I heard that on Threes Company the reason that Chrissie wore that side ponytail was because something had happened and a big chunk of her hair was missing and the only way to cover it was to put the hair in the side pony. LOL. Makes sense to me.
Best wishes, Karen
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
Ew, I saw a guy last night who had his hair buzzed everywhere but on top of his head, where he had a braided ponytail about 6 inches long hanging down.
Gross!
This wasn't the first time I've seen this hairstyle though. I think it's a skater boy thing.

Karen, that is very interesting. I wonder if it was burned from the on the scalp bleach frying on her head.

I always hated the female bi-level--bangs, long and all one length in the back, with the sides completely snipped off right up to the back of the ear. Do you know what I mean?
I also never liked the short permed afro look on men or women. BOTH of my parents had it (they got it together! How cute!)
I had that Charlie's Angel's thing, and loved it, but it ruined my hair, blowing out the sides with the plastic brush every day :(
Haaaa! Isla, you hit on it exactly, I had forgotten about Sonny Crocket...loafers, no socks, pastel suits, three day beard, perfectly highlighted hair....soooooo coooool!!lol.
Elissa, you were the perfect 80's woman...how old were you there?? We were all so cute in the eighties! Well, at least we were cool!
I don't like the mullet. Those are probably the ugliest things I've ever seen. I also never like the ponytail on the side style. When I was little people tried to get me to do it.
Elissa. I HATE BIG PUFFY HAIR!!! It is sooooo goofy! -( I am 27 so I remember it from when I was a girl)-. .....But you are just such a doll in that photo Elissa!!! You look SOOOOO INNOCENT! ... Just the girl next door, ever-so-cool, sweet and stylish with her big, big hair! Tee hee! I love it Elissa, even with that hair you are so pretty and innocent looking! You are just darling!!!
