I was just talking with my friend Jen last night and we were lamenting the end of big hair. Boy, I loved my big hair! I had awesome big hair. My hair is thick and wavy. It stayed however I put it. Oh and my big bangs… tease, spray, hit with the dryer. Stiff as a board and so great! It was pretty hard to mess up big hair. The bigger and messier the better. Stick some hair accessories in and you were golden. This straight hair of today never looks right. No matter how much I flat-iron and blow dry, it’s never exactly right. Way too easy to see a hair out of place. I constantly envy other Belle’s swinginess and shininess. And my hair doesn’t like to be straight so I start to get little rebellions going on all over the place. Southerners have always loved big hair. A few years ago my stylist told me big hair was coming back in style and I practially skipped all the way to my car. But alas…. I’m still waiting for that to materialize.

Here are some of my favorite big-haired girls and Bon Jovi because frankly he belongs in any post.

Designing Women

Those ladies knew how to rock some serious hair!

The cast of Dynasty

You know I have to have my man Bon Jovi on here. He had beautiful big hair!

I could go on and on. I didn’t really like shoulder pads or acid-washed jeans, but I did love the music and big hair of the 80’s. Maybe someday…
