80s Hair for Men and Women

              The rule for hair in the 80s was the bigger, the better. 
Long hair on both men and women was teased, doused in hairspray and mousse, and forced up and out to incredible proportions.
Women ,were known for hairstyles with big curls and big bangs.Long hair on men ,took on a whole new meaning.  Hard rock “hair bands” made it trendy for men to use just as much hair product as women in their long locks. 
  It wasn’t unusual to see a man with a perm or as much hairspray in his hair as his female date.  Men bleached and processed their hair in ways that had been previously reserved for women.
  The 80s were also known for some off the wall hairstyles. 
From punk-rock half-shaved looks and Mohawks, to the strange and inexplicable look attributed to the band A Flock of Seagulls, the 80s kept hair interesting to say the least. 
Bright colors were very trendy, and orange, blue, and bright red hair topped off the wild haircuts.
    It was also the decade of the mullet. 
The short on top, long in the back haircut was seen on men and women. 
The top portion of the hair could be teased up and sprayed in place while the back lay flat, or it was equally popular to give the whole thing lift and a good coat of hairspray. 
Mullets ranged from somewhat conservative shorter cuts to the extreme in length on the back and volume up top.
