I'd blow-dry it upside down and spray and iron it out straight while the spray was still wet...you had to make it SIZZZLE. You had to pick it and back-comb it and maybe put little combs in you hair to help it stick out real good. You HAD to get up at 4 because if you screwed up you COULDN'T brush it out! You HAD to WASH IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!! If it started to collapse, it split in two on top... that was then BUTT-LOAF HAIR and it was NOT what you were aiming for. :'(

"Too cheap" is key here.  Those do's weren't cheap to maintain.  They definitely required professional snipping and then you had to constantly buy gel and mousse and hairspray.  Fortunately, the strongest hairspray was the cheapest (I think a can of Aqua Net was about 80-something cents).  Unfortunately, I was always burning out hair dryers and scraping goo off my curling iron (which ended up being replaced alot because of constant abuse!) Sadly, I haven't scraped off my iron for years now...don't even use it half the time.  So sad ! :'(

For me, it would have to be when I saw other people tying a bandanna around their leg emulating Scott Baio as Chachi on "Happy Days".

Why base your look around a guy that didn't even know where a bandanna was supposed to go? Was he using it as a tourniquet from an Erin Moran bite or what?

Oh man, I remember that! ;D I did that  ::)
At the time though I didn't realize that it was Chachi thing. I was trying to cover a hole in the knee of my pants. There was a girl in school who gave me hell for it but I think she just wanted me ;D. Then it became ok to have rips in your jeans.

I discovered Paul Mitchell Fast-Drying Sculpting Spray when I got my spikes and it was/is far and away the best spray.  ;D  It holds like crazy w/a reasonable amount, but isn't hard and residue-filled like way too many others.  Hair is easy to brush out, and doesn't have that horrid dirty film most sprays generate.  Not to mention, it has little of the attributes that aerate and choke you!  I still use it (no spikes but more curls and waves closer to the hated "big hair") and the standard 8-oz bottle lasts me 3 months.  It's, like, the perfect hairspray!

When it came to fashion the 80's had quite a few.  Shirt collars turned up was stupid, as well as going sockless with the loafers.  I will also say skinny ties were cool then, but sure look silly now.  
Another stupid trend that started that decade was presenting musicians as fashion models, we probably missed out on a lot of good music because of it. :-/

Hate to be negative, but had to make rebuttal to the gripes about the ‘80s….I'll start by saying I agree w/Hairspray.  But I couldn't be quick and concise about this since it bugs me not covering it all, so I'm writing it all up!


“Glam” metal – (referring to OP’s comment) metal had/has dignity outside this?

Boy George and Madonna trend (I guess you mean the trashy trend) – yeah, trashy (literally), but at least it was interesting and somewhat neat (fully shaved, clean faces, no wan sickly looks) unlike the realistic-homeless look of the last umpteen years.  As far as being commonplace, it wasn’t, at least full-up.  Pretty common in bits and pieces, though.

Rolling up sleeves – I still don’t know what a Members Only jacket is, but on all the other jackets/blazers, what’s wrong?  It looked pretty neat.

Turned-up collars – again, I think way cool, exactly cuz it looks sharper and more energetic than lying flat (which I don’t mind).  Of course, today you don’t see collars, period.

Miami Vice looks – what’s wrong w/it?  Guys change a little from the normal (and I mean, LITTLE) and it’s bad?

Puffy skirts – I can’t really defend these.  For the record, another thing I hardly ever saw, tho.

Leg warmers – stupid, for sure (besides work-outs and working on cold days), but then, see the Madonna trend where it fit rite in!

Males in pink or anything else pastel/neon – boo.  Again, guys change a little from their extremely narrow confines and it’s bad?  I think males need more diversity in their wardrobes.  Let’s go back to the days before the Civil War, when men became so self-conscious and wear nothing but same old boring-boring-boring.  Before that, men had gorgeous variable ensembles (and they showed their legs!).  150 years of the same basic thing should stop, don’t you think?

“Big Hair” – I still don’t get it.  #1 not that many real people around here had what is stereotyped as big hair, although to me what was common could qualify.  Mostly there were “bobs” in every shape, size and contortion – and most looked very cute, if I must say (I never had 1).  And even if there was the long big hair, what was so bad?  Like any ‘do, it can be bad, but generally, they were quite becoming.

Spandex – 1st off, I know we had a lot of tite pants, but not many needed spandex.  It was built in the design!  Besides, there are still lots of spandex-type bellbottoms around now (I have 1 I did not buy for myself).  And recently I came across a disgusting discussion.  It was about young guys (and I’m sure others) loving how ‘90s+ girls wear pants tite enough so they can see…. a certain something and they had a nickname for it.  So girls are still wearing tite things, apparently so tite that it’s TRULY gross and definitely lacking class.

Acid-wash – I have no real problem w/it, but doesn’t thrill me either.  Jean stuff generally does not thrill me.

Shoulder pads – I LOVE shoulder pads, as a rule.  Sometimes they weren’t good in certain clothes (even jackets), they were badly placed or shaped and I mite get rid of those, but generally, I still love them.  It all depends on how the specific thing works for you.  When you’re skinny and clothes hang on your bones, they can be great to bulk up – as long as they’re not too big relative to your build.

Parachute pants – won’t defend this much, except that it’s a little different.  But again, I hardly saw any in real life.

Mullets – they’re not that great, but OK; and again, hardly anyone real wore them.


A general statement on girls’ hair:  I get tired of all the comments about how “natural” and “normal” the ‘90s straight hair is.  Guess what?  It’s not.  We don’t all have straight AND perfect hair.  I’ve seen girls (including a HS peer who used to have a cute bob back in the day) who have obviously tortured their natural hair to conform to this straight/medium-length/middle-part nonsense.  There are so many girls whose hair looks plastered on, like it was a plastic wig on 1 of those Fisher-Price female figures!....And don’t get me going on that split-ends look that’s getting popular!  I only sorta like that cuz there’s a little difference from the same boring stuff girls have worn for 10+ years.

I totally agree in a response to all the 80's backlash, but real kids really did wear these things.  I'm 20 now, and I was only a child at the time, but, my cousins and neighborhood friends which were in middle school and high school did try to have the big hair, lace gloves, had mullets, etc.  And you see now in high fashion (haute couture) like Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Yves St. Laurent are trying to emulate the 80's.  The spiked scrunch boots, corsets, tight ass acid washed jeans, BIG hair, layering, and Gucci even came out with their own version of the Michael Jackson jacket.  All in all, 80's were the most fashion-daring time of the 20th Century.  Because in the (mid) 90's, I see all the girls want to conform and look the same and look like Alicia Silverstone from Clueless.  And I guess, in the 80's, u can wear your dad's old frumpy suit that was waay to big for one's tiny body and still look cool.  And ATTITUDE was the leading trend among everything else.  That was the best part about it--having balls to do the ridiculous and even try something new.

I guess if you've stayed with big hair bands for so long, I can see the resentment towards rap.  I, personally love it...Run DMC, Chuck D, NWA--it was the first time the urban black "ghetto" can tell how it really was without beating around the bush about their "hard knock life"--so to speak.  Rap is the black sheep child of rock n roll, not realizing there's actually no such thing and it was only a term coined by a 50's/60's dj because he didn't wanna get sued by calling the music festival something already used (it was the Moon something, trying to remember).  But, I'm speaking from being a rock music lover myself.  I gotta admit tho, the rap music that's out NOW is all crap, because they don't saying anything important except for how much "ice," "hoes/bitches," and "bentleys" they got.  Every decade brings something new to the music scene, look at the 70's disco.  Good thing it isn't big today, cuz if it was, it would have taken so much way from the real artists and performers out there.  Thank you for killing disco 1980's.

Hanging suspenders, lol! If I remember correctly, that rediculous trend only lasted about 6 months or so. But I know of a trend today that is so ignorant that it makes the hanging suspenders thing look respectible: Young guys walking around with their pants hanging past their ass cheeks. STUPID!

That trend began with the guetto kids who would visit their daddies in prison (really) who were segregated into solitary confinement for fighting. They couldn't wear belts when in solitary (to prevent them from being used as suicide ropes) so they would come out at visitation with their pants hanging down. The poor kids imitated their mean and tough Daddies and later set the trend as Rappers. My uncle is a chaplain in a prison ministry, he told me this.

Yup, it's true.  That's always the basic reason I've heard - "prison".  Altho they bear an uncanny resemblence to the "servicemen" whose pants are weighted down!   ;D
