'80s Hair
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing a lot of ’80s hair this Spring — the part, the puffiness, the length. There are plenty of variations, but mostly the styles seem to converge around the classic frat villain look popularized in films and television programs of the era. I’ve seen ’80s hair lately in both Washington, DC and New York City. My reaction: odd, but acceptable. Parts in the hair do transcend time, after all. I did resolve, however, to see if I have been hallucinating this rash of ’80s hair, or if I merely travel unconsciously through retro circles.
In good paranoid public safety ’80s style, if YOU have seen ’80s hair, please alert me toll free in the combox.
As was also always the case in the ’80s, the situation is on the verge of crisis. After my spate of sightings, our man in Hollywood told me things out there are getting a little, erm, more serious. Which I discovered meant ridiculous. Gentlemen, I give you John Mayer. Ladies, don’t let this happen to you.
Seeing as hairstyles are leaving the 70’s I’ve been expecting, and dreading, this for a long time.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to get my bomb shelter ready now.

I’m not seeing 80’s hair yet—but it’s funny you bring it up. I was visiting my grandma yesterday and spotted a booklet published in the 80’s, so got a good laugh out of the hairstyles. A lot of women had damaged poodle hair because the perms were still pretty harsh.
