Subject: "Outrageous" 80's hairstyles you still don't think are that bad?

Written By: Todd Pettingzoo on 05/08/06 at 4:24 am

What are some 80's hairstyles that you don't think are as bad as people say? For me, certain mullets aren't bad. Certain big hair on women isn't bad, like certain big long curly hair hairstyles, or hair that's big on the side, but not too big on top.

I don't mind the really full look - a.l.a early Kylie Minogue/Cyndi Lauper, but crimps (a bit Glenn Close in 'Fatal Attraction') are a definite no-no these days. Mullets are fine and dandy; if you're a yobbo, that is (slang for a man who wears flannel shirts, has a pot-belly, and of course drinks like a funnel).

I'm probably in the minority here, but I still like that angled cut where the back was short and the sides were angled down to be long in the front.  I also thought Teri Nunn's (Berlin) hair was really cool in the "No More Words" video where she had blonde hair with the ends dyed black.

I think Molly Ringwald and Cyndi Lauper looked pretty sexy in the '80s.

Big hair on women can be a turn on and Limahl's mullet is an outstanding piece of hair engineering IMO.

I love Prince's hairdo, the curly hair on top with flat sides and one long curl over the forehead. I want that haircut. I also really love the early Madonna/Cyndi Lauper-type hair, and the late '80s Madonna look.

Hey, the classics are STILL the best!

I myself have a definitive widow's peak, due to my natural hairline.
I must thank the lead vocalist of FYC, Gary Numan, and Mike Score from Flock Of Seagulls, for showing me that my hair is OK, and I don't have to suffer an "Eddie Munster" conscience!

I love the Annie Lennox look-very short-cropped dyed hair with big shoulderpads and lots of white powder makeup.

Schillingfan- I loved "Major Tom (Coming Home)"!
-Would have preferred a Master avatar, but hey...

Velvet- Actually, the first modern performer to do that was the late Klaus Nomi.

If memory serves correctly, wasn't there a hairstyle that feathered?

There is a group from Sweden or Denmark, called "Stakka Bo".
The lead vocalist, Johan Renck, has the semi-pompadour curl.
He looks better than his bandmate, Oscar.
Oscar's hair is so short, he wears this goofy fishing hat.

Got a photo of these guys? I'd love to see what they look like!

No, but there's a website about them.

I believe it's on Polydor Records.
You could also find them on a search engine, I'm sure.

The 2 albums i know of are: "Supermarket", which had their hit "Here We Go";
and "The Great Blondino".

I also believe they opened for Ace Of Base, once.
