Hairstyles Of The 80s: Go Big Or Stay Home

When I was teen, crimped hair was all the rage, as were perms. I used to wash my hair and braid it while I was wet, would go to sleep and wake up extra early in the AM to undo all my Bo Derek-esque braids, in order to get the look of a perm without the price.

I finally saved enough money with my allowance and after school baby-sitting job to purchase the ever-popular hair crimper that I had been begging my parents for.  I loved my crimper, although I burnt my hands and scalp, more times than I every wanted. I kept my bangs straight, and the look was completed with that noxious aerosol emitted fumes from my many cans of hairspray.

Sometimes, I would put my crimped hair in a ponytail at the top of my head, using a “scrunchie” that matched my outfit of the day. Other times I would use those bright banana clips to hold my hair in place, although, the hairspray sufficed most of the time! Then there was the teasing of hair! Ouch!
