The disco decade was over, and a new wave of music was hitting the airways. It was the 1980s, and your hair was the biggest statement you could make about yourself and the world around you.
The Side Ponytail
Made famous by 1980s singing teen Debbie Gibson, pulling your hair to one side into a ponytail was a simple look for girls. Bangs were often cut and feathered back to accompany the look.
Jersey Girl / Big Bangs
Medium to long hair was layered over the entire head, set with rollers and teased to epic heights in this extreme hairstyle. Hairspray was used heavily to keep the hair in place.
Asymetrical
The New Wave music revolution of the 1980s brought about asymetrical haircuts. Most cuts were left longer on one side of the head or formed into angling bowl shapes.
Mullets
Made famous by rock stars of the time, the mullet entailed short layers around the face and single-layered long hair in the back. This hairstyle was unisex.
Tails
The tailed look of the 1980s was a unisex style achieved by leaving one small section at the center nap of the neck long while cutting the rest of the hair short. The small section was often dyed a contrasting color.
