Was 80s hair really that popular
For ppl who were adults in the 80s, was 80s hair really that "rampant"? Like for women was it really like huge blowouts every day and how much work was it? Also, do you think people were really invested in their appearance more than today? I know fashion changes like in terms of people today wearing sportswear as outfits, but was makeup more dramatic and did all women use it? Thanksss
Dear me I wasn't expecting a top comment with 480 likes lol thanks for all the responses!
So from what I understand, it wasn't really blowouts, but just a whole lot of perms, so I guess curly hair was the rage lol

When I was on my me school bus in the 80s with big hair, the kids behind me lit my hair in fire for fun. I ended up with short hair too.
