As the 80's passed to the end of that decade and turned toward the 90's, the big hair was still alive but it changed just a little bit. The classic 1980s puffy top 'do was about to be put to rest, but the fluff was not yet dead. The gradual transition from top heavy to bottom heavy was taking shape. This picture of a bunch of girlfriends from that era (pic was taken around 1989) shows a variety of hairstyles, but they have one thing in common: curly locks. It looks like there are a couple of examples of mall bangs here like the gal on the upper left and right. A popular early 90's look was the spiral perm bob as seen on the woman in the front row and right of center.

Here is a great example of typical 80's style. First we have the bi-level, which was hot then, and is nothing more than big hair on top and long locks in the back. The sides are cut above the ears and the strands are directed upward with lots of strong hold hair spray ( the kind that does not allow your hair to move at all ) and then height is achieved with a curling iron and more shellac-like spray. Evidence of mall bangs can be seen with the first layer laying downward with the second brushed up and back. This hairstyle is shoulder length and of course was better for fine hair to make it look thicker. Big dangly earrings were in vogue then.

If you love spiral curls and lots of them, take a look at this very full head of small twists. This style is reminiscent of the poodle perms from the 80's and still looks hot for today's hairstyles. If you have naturally kinky curly hair, then this hairdo would be easy to copy with a little curl enhancing shampoo and a diffuser attachment on the blow-dryer. Twist sections of hair while drying and then use fingers to style rather than trying to brush through it which would just make a big bushy mess. For those with straight locks, a visit to your professional hair stylist for a spiral perm might be the answer to help with this style. Every one's hair is different and outcomes may vary.

Here is a great example of a 1980s wedding showing the hair and fashion of that time. The bride is in white, the bridesmaids are in a light purple, the flower girl is in a lavender, and the groomsmen are all in light gray tuxes. This was early in the decade and bi-level hairstyles were popular for both men and women. Poodle perms were also all the rage. If you had naturally curly hair, you were in luck, otherwise, you had to make a trip to the salon for a perm.

Here is a picture of a typical 80's bi-level hairstyle with big bright yellow wicker earrings to set the retro mood. Hair was cut short on the sides and left longer in the back. Bigger was better so puffy curls were in order. Heavy hold hair gels were used as well as very firm hairspray. Primary colors were popular then and they had to be bold. Making a stand-out-in-the-crowd statement was the goal. Most women of this time had perms in their hair. This gave the added lift, curl, and puff that was necessary to fit into the fashion.

Are you looking for a picture of a spiky mohawk for Halloween or any other party? Here is a guy with orange/red hair that is shaved on both sides and only has a strip of dragon-like spikes down the middle. Egg whites would work wonders to make this hairdo. If you are not into shaving your head for Halloween, you could always get one of those caps that make it look like you have shave your head and then take something like paint brushes and cut off the bristles and glue them to the cap. Then take egg whites and make them into peaks and allow to dry. It may be difficult to die the paint brushes but it may be possible.
