Hi all!
My school is having a "Milennium Ball" coming up in two weeks and instead of going all formal everyone has to come dressed as their favorite decade. My boyfriend and I decided on the 80s. I think I have my outfit picked out (think Flashdance/Olivia Newton John Physical) but I'm not sure how to do the stereotypical hair and makeup of the 80s.
I've been told I have the right hair to do really big, high hair (like female fans of Jon Bon Jovi) but am not sure how...

If anyone has some tips/advice/pictures I'd appreciate it so much!

What decade would YOU go as?

Ok, first blow dry your hair upside side (ie. with your hair hanging down toward the floor)...you could run mousse through your hair to help give it some lift.

Then, pull up your hair with your fingers and apply copious amounts of hairspray to the roots.

Pick through it all to loosen up any clumpy areas then spray the whole mess again.

Click here to see one of my old yearbook pics where this process was used. You can also see the make-up.
