Subject: BIG 80s hair?
I was going through my aunts 1989 year book and could not believe the size of the hairstyles that all the girls wore!! In alot of cases some girls hair was cut out of the pictures because they were so big and high! She said EVERYBODY had big hair in the late 80s and said that she'd go through a WHOLE can of hairspray every few days!
Is this true or was it only a New York kind of thing? I mean some girls bangs were like 6" high and huge and poofy. Did any one here do that to their hair? What does it feel like to have a 1/2 can of hairspray on at once!?!
stunned,
Jen

Yup, its true! I graduated in 1986 and I used a can of Aqua Net every few days. I really wish I had measured how high the top of my hair went up. It wasn't just a NY thing either, I'm from Boston and we did it here too. I think it was just a genuine 80s fashion. My goal in 85 and 86 was to have hair just like Jon Bon Jovi, HA HA!!! I think I came pretty close!

A buddy of mine from the Boston area just reminded me of a radio station-sponsored "Big Hair" contest. He says the winner had hair that came 13 inches up off the top of her head. She lived in Revere, just next door to Boston. Somehow I missed the contest, and I can't remember which radio station it was anymore.
