The 80s for me, mid 80s was deathrock( now goth). I miss the hairstyle, in some ways.
All you did was rat out ALL of your hair regardless of length, fill it full of ( yucky) hairspray, koolaide( made it stand up and coloured it) and leave it. You never had to brush it, or cut it.Bits would break off occasionally but that only made it look better. Washing it was wierd though. I just dont know how my Dad could stand looking at me, what with all that white face makeup, spiderwebs, black lippie and old ratty tshirts, plus capes! I looked hilarious!
As I said to one young man, who once came to me, almost crying, that people had laughed at him on the street - but, your 6 feet tall, wearing black lipstick and a velvet cape, in summer! At noon! In boots, in 110o weather! FOR A JOB INTERVIEW!
