BIG hair memories...

With my 15 year reunion coming up, some old friends and I were going through some old pictures from highschool. God my hair was so embarrassing! It was huge. I used SO much hairspray everyday. I teased and picked and fluffed my do and then sprayed it until it was this massive poofed out helmet! It was literally hard as a rock! I wore so much makeup....I wouldn't be seen without my trademark 'neon pink' lipstick.

I'm looking forward to seeing all my old classmates, but I know everyone is gonna bring up my hair! Oh well! Can anyone explain why we did this? Why was this hairstyle so popular? Big hair has got to be the most embarrasing hairstyle in history.

Did anyone else have hair like this? Have you 'lost' all of those pictures too?

Oh yea. I think I know a thing or two about that. I'm in the foreground and my friend Mary is behind me. She had the biggest hair around.

Here's my yearbook photo proof, after killing my hair with a perm and curling iron

What the heck was I thinking?!

Ladies - this is killing me!!!!!

I remember this style well - I grew up in thecity, and it wasn't a big city thing to do big hair, but my dad lived in LI, and my cousins all sported the big do's and frosted lipgloss - it fascinated me! Plus, going away to sleep away camp, all the girls would spend hours in front of the huge community bathroom spraying, blowing, spraying, blowing, curling, spraying, blowing, fluffing...

My hair was so thick and heavy, it would never even go in any direction other than gravity...

ahhhh the 80's!!!!

I DID wear frosted lipgloss, lace and a billion goomy bracelettes a la desperately seeking susan madonna, satin puch down boots, and neon!!!!
