As hair got bigger in the 80s, an asymmetrical updo was one trendy look, piling the voluminous curls over to one side.
We’re sure you know at least one person who rocked this style. Just pull out your parents’ old photo albums.
Edgy Shag – 1980
The most recognized shaggy rocker hairstyle goes to Joan Jett. Razor-cut and layered into a rough-around-the-edges mop, fans and trendsetters around the world tried on this jet-black hard rock look.
Joan Jett and her all-girl Blackhearts loved rock ‘n’ roll, and everyone heard about it!
Topknot – 1981
Actress and model Iman sported a classy topknot in the early Eighties.
Today, it’s a popular trend from the man-bun to the standard bun, a quick and easy updo.
Girl-Next-Door Hair – 1983
Just call it Brooke Shields Hair. Cover model Brooke Shields epitomized the girl-next-door look in the 1980 film The Blue Lagoon with long, flowing, easy-going beach hair, and here, in a stylized version.
If only we could really get our hair to look like Brook Sheilds's hair without top hairstylists.
The Mullet- 1984
A notably dark time in our country's history, the Age of the Mullet lasted too long and affected too many. If you survived the '80s without getting this tragic cut, we commend you.
Today, it’s a popular trend from the man-bun to the standard bun, a quick and easy updo.
