I graduated from high school in 1986, so I rememeber the 80's quite well! LOL
I remember wearing big hair, backcombing it out so that it not only stood up on top, it stood out to the side, too. I've seen photos of mye where my hair is actually wider than my shoulders!
And the big cans of hairspray we used! I recall a friend of mine one morning telling me how she'd gotten in the shower the night before, and was really tired, so she just leaned back against the wall of the shower and let the steam relax her. Well, when she tried to straighten up, all the hairspray had stuck her hair to the wall!
