This guy looks like he just stepped out of a 1970's or 80's movie and he would have made a good used car salesman. His hair looks like it could have been permed.

The 80's big short hair was wild looking and the sides were usually shorter than the back, otherwise known as the bi-level.
80's big hair
Curly perms were all the rage and if you wanted to be cool in this decade, you got yourself a salon permanent. The smell was awful but it was worth it to get the big look. Lots of strong hold hair gel was used to get the roots to stand up and then shellac-like hairspray was used.

What did things look like in the 1980's?
80s Family
Wow, what a sight this is! Nice bi-level hair for the men. Cut shorter on the sides and longer in the back. The young girl has a poodle doo. The lady on the left has classic retro blue eye shadow. Skinny legged jeans were in with tennis shoes. You have got to love that multi colored carpet in shades of brown that looks like someone spilled chocolate all over it. Nice for covering up stains. Imagine watching TV on that set?

The 80s were a time to express one's individuality with mixtures of fashion trends and here we have a girl with long blonde dread locks and off the shoulder top with lingerie worn over clothes. A satin-like camisole dresses up a plain long sleeve sweater but instead of being worn as underwear, it's displayed as outerwear. Big crazy hairdo's were popular during this time period and this one incorporates twisted spirals that can be done on a wet mane and left to dry on their own.

One side of this hairdo is cut above the ear with the back being longer which is true to the 80's bi-level. The strands are straight and longer in the front. A flat iron helps to get this look.

This teen girl is all dressed up for a school dance 80s style. This picture was taken late in the decade and is something to see. She has a big curly mane which was so hot back then. Everybody had poodle perms. Her dress is strapless and fitted at the waist then it poofs out into a full skirt. Lots of black lace and pink accents make this a true retro treasure. The make-up is typical from this time period. Blue/green eye shadow and bright pink cheeks and lips were it.

Here's a little something with a bit of 80's retro, funky, and just plain crazy. Just pick out a color, and then a pattern, and then another color that doesn't even match, and you have an outfit. It's apparently as easy as that according to these girls. This is certainly a fun way to dress and sure to turn a few heads. The hairstyles are simple and layered and a touch messy.

Back in the late 80's, we tried to make our hair look as big as possible even if we had a fine or thin mane. Here in this photo taken back in the day, we can see a true retro experience with mouse, curling iron, and lots of hairspray. Lots of layering around the top of this wavy bob with bangs allows there to be lift on top gaining that big hair look. Volume producing hair products are worked into the roots prior to blow-drying then lifting with a vent brush while concentrating the air there will help to get this flash back look.

Here is a cute hippie look for girls that incorporates many great things from the 70s/80s: tie dye look, headband, and long curls. Kinky long red locks are held back out of this woman's eyes with the colorful forehead band which could be nothing more than a fashion scarf placed above the eyebrows and tied in back under the hair. The turquoise blue color of her shirt has what looks like paint splashes that resembles the old fashioned tie dye and it's a smash hit with her mane.

Steven Tyler with his long wavy rocker funk 'do is a great example of what 80s hair band is all about. If you are old enough to remember watching MTV back then and seeing Aerosmith with their popular videos such as "Dude Looks Like a Lady," then you know that this man has not changed much in the past 20 years. He still wears his locks in big hair fashion. His latest trend seems to be adding feathers of different colors as ornaments to dangle amongst the bed head strands. He actually has a suit jacket on here which is quite the contrast to his spandex from decades past. His skull necklace is probably made of platinum or white gold and is a cool idea for a gift of jewelry for the man in your life (providing he is the old school rocker type).

Here is an example of a big ratted 80s hairstyle and flash dance style tee shirt that is off the shoulder on one side. Banana clips were popular back then and gave the look of a horses mane but this looks like a ponytail that is placed over to one side and then the strands are back combed into a rats nest and then heavily coated with strong hold hair spray. The colors in her outfit include bold and bright contrasting hues. The sunglasses are an aviator style and yellow rims perk things up. Colored rims were very hot back in the 1980s.

Looking for a fun look for a party? With graduation right around the corner and other special events, come and check out this great retro style that is perfectly festive. This young lady is sporting a big hairstyle and fun orange dress with a wide white belt complete with shiny heels. Her bright and colorful bracelets are a contrast to the rest of her outfit which is just right for today's fashion. This hairdo is easily accomplished with a diffuser and scrunching while drying. Turning the head upside down and then gently flipping it back up as you stand up helps to add volume before spritzing some hairspray.
