80s Hairstyles

Home » 80s Fashion » 80s Hairstyles

Hairstyles in the 1980s were as bold and expressive as the fashion, with volume being a key element for both men and women. Big hair, often achieved with hairspray, perms, and teasing, was a hallmark of the decade, especially among women. The mullet became an iconic look for men, with short hair in the front and long hair in the back. Feathered hair, made famous by celebrities like Farrah Fawcett, was popular early in the decade, while crimped hair, achieved with a crimping iron, became trendy among teenagers. For men, spiked hair and mohawks were part of the punk and new wave scenes. Hair accessories like scrunchies, headbands, and barrettes often complemented these styles. The 80s was a decade where hair was as much a statement as the clothes people wore.
