Jesse's haircut can be likened to a long crew cut. The strands are directed straight up and toward the back.

The 80's were IT and here's a great example of a ponytail that really has the spirit of this era as this photo was taken in about 1987.

This gal was a hairstylist so she was certainly up on the latest fashion trends of this time. A perm primed the locks for the curly height on top and then a curling iron could be used to shape and define. Lots of gel and TRI hairspray was used to set everything in place to the point where the strands would not move. A thin layer of bang was combed forward while the rest were directed up and back. A black bow holds the low ponytail in place. Let's not forget the bright blue blouse with appliqued white designs and matching earrings and of course the shoulder pads.

This young lady has a healthy looking suntan glow that could be achieved with a spray tan which is probably safer than the real thing. Her light streaks help with the California beachy waves idea. The pale blue shadow used around her eyes is great for a youthful appearance. Gaining length can be done with hair extensions.

Sometimes it is nice to choose a prom style with hair down and this option incorporates a cute flip.

A side part and a bang-less look are part of the characteristics of this 'do. The strands are smooth and straigh and show off quite a bit of dimension with the chunky blonde highlights. The ends turn up a bit for a sassy appeal. A curling iron can be used to touch up on completely dry locks.

Retro is the word here with Zac's haircut.

This photo was taken at the "17 Again" Paris  Photocall. This is a great up to date hairstyle for a young guy or even an older one for that matter.
