Here is an attractive medium length hairstyle that can be easily styled with a curling iron. The haircut is layered and the bangs are about chin length. The part is off center. The curls start at about the ears where the layers begin as well. The upper strands are combed straight. The hair color is a soft honey blonde with hints of lighter highlights. This is a great everyday style.

Here we can see a typical 1980's very big bi-level hairstyle. Women of this decade usually chose to have their hair wrapped around perm rods to add body and to be able to achieve those ridiculously puffy styles. It is said that the prosperity that most people were experiencing then was the inspiration for the over-the-top hairdos.

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.

This cute teenager is sporting a practical and up to date hairstyle with bangs that are brushed to side and locks that are curled very loosely. She does have some natural wave to her hair so achieving this look is fairly easy with some curl enhancing product added prior to styling. This helps the strands do what they do best encouraging the bend in the shaft. Blow-drying with a diffuser and finger scrunching helps the cause. A large barrel curling iron can be used on dry hair for more definition.
