Subject: 80's BIG hair
Just wondering.,..
How BIG was the biggest hair you can remember seeing back in the 80s?
I was in middle school during the mall hair hey-day, and am guilty of having some pretty stiff bangs, but i didn't even come close to a girl named Jill who was maybe 3 years older than me. If there was a "big hair" award, she would have won, hands down...no one was even close. AND there was a lot of big hair in 1989! Everyone used to joke that Jill would fall forward from the weight of her bangs. They were huge! A big ball of carefully teased and hairsprayed bangs that went at least 5" up and 2"out. Every one in school asked to touch them at one time or another because their gravity defying power had to be felt to be believed!
I was home for Thanksgiving and ran in to Jill at WalMart. Her bangs aren't as tall, but they're still there and her hair was still stiff as ever!
Anyone else remember someone like this?

Unfortunately I was one of those. I had a flattop in 1989 that was about three inches high. It took a hell of a lot of gel and hair spray to keep it up and everybody touches it to feel it's rigidity. I still have the school photo of it.
