Kind of backcombing it then parting on wrong side and bringing it forward.

funnys yes I had several. (not at the same time of course)

Wash
Blow dry
Gel (when it had been invented - before that sugar water)
Crimp - spraying with hairspray (Boots ownbrand NON fragranced)
Backcomb
Spray, spray , spray!

Took ages.

One of my favourite styles was shaved head leaving a fringe at the front and at the back (like a girl skin's cut). Add very long extensions to the fringes in purple and pink.
Wear big floppy black hat.
Couldnt see where I was going mind.

I had black and orange arse length dreadlocks.

A pink Marilyn Monroe wash and set.

I worked in an uber trendy hairdressers in the 80s so got my hair done all the time.

chesgirl, totally in awe of your 80's barnet. I LOVE hair and all that. Was going to be a hairdresser at one time, but ended up doing da law. Perhaps I should be wearing a judges wig, that would be totally outre

You didnt miss much. Hairdressing is soooo boring (sorry hairdressers).

It was quite interesting working where I did though. The hair stuff was dull but all the smacked up pop stars were pretty funny.

reminds me of that boy george docudrama thing last week.....loved it esp the Sex Dwarf sound track a la Soft Cell. Poor BG, all he wanted to do was be a girl.......

DuelingFanjo · 22/05/2010 23:03

this is it?

chesgirlNOTgriffins · 22/05/2010 23:06

Yeah he was one of the smacked up pop stars.

What makes me laugh is DD's friends with the daft combover, so funny. They have to hold their hair up to see at all!!!! They will surely look back with embarrassment as we all did when we had perms etc.

TidyBush · 22/05/2010 23:11

DD2 has this look (backcombed black hair/skinny jeans/eyeliner/tiara ).

Like all teenagers she likes to think she's so individual but when I picked her up from a gig recently I wouldn't have been able to pick her from a line up of the hundreds few other teens who all looked the same .

funnysinthegarden · 22/05/2010 23:15

I used to set light to my quiff every time I sparked up, ahh that smell of burning hair......takes me right back

noddyholder · 22/05/2010 23:17

I last had a mohican (pink and purple) a couple of years ago, but I was only 43 at the time.

CarmenSanDiego · 22/05/2010 23:26

Aha, this is how it's done.

Although it would be nice to be ten years younger and look like that...

I have a short graduated bob but i can wear mine similar to [http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=emostyle-trends.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scene-h air-6.jpg&imgrefurl=emostyle-trends.com/tag/scene-hairstyles/&usg=__hZTK04NinSNGD6QrqIuCjsiBK oI=&h=600&w=450&sz=32&hl=en&start=53&itbs=1&tbnid=GrS539JcpxXXIM:&tbnh=135&tbnw=101&prev=/images%3Fq %3Dscene%2Bhair%2Bshort%26start%3D40%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en- GBfficial%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1 this] bar the colour, mine is light brown and caramel blonde, but i tend to save it for nights out or when im at work!!
