Why was "big hair" such a big thing in the '80s?

@JGoldman10,
I know what you meant. I don't think that the average young person wore hair THAT big. Yeah, if you were in Greenwich Village, or some other hippie enclave, you might see a lot of those styles amongst college students, but I would bet that young people who were in professional positions would avoid those styles like the plague.

I remember once going to Washington Square Park in the Village, and seeing guys with spiked hairdos. Each spike was a different color. Shocked

@Phoenix32890,
I was a kid in the '80s so I wouldn't know about all that. I just recall seing a lot of older people with big hair.

Afros and big curly hair had something of a resurgence in the 2000's. Singing acts like Lauren Hill, and members from rock bands like Mars Volta would, and still, wear them.

@InfraBlue,
I know Afros started being popular in the '90s. If you were a kid with an Afro in the '80s you were laughed at.

Angela Davis was hot.


Plenty of white females wore big hair. It was either their own or they went out and bought it. I love it still.

@Miller,
White females with Afros? I can recall seeing some- Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence had one. IMO, I think Afros on a lot of white females white females look ridiculous-they look like Raggedy Ann dolls.
