A fun 1980’s BIG Hair Contest! Ladies, we are laughing with you, not at you! Let the big hair contest begin.
80’s Big Hair Contest
Thanks to everyone who participated in my 80’s BIG Hair Contest! Get ready to go back in time… Can you hear Bonjovi?
Tina from my MOPS group. This first photo cracks me up! When I asked Tina if she had big 80’s hair, she replied “They didn’t call me the wall for nothing!” ha!
Oh… I had a green metallic dress just like this!
Tina my friend from college. She had the biggest hair of us all by far!! She can’t win though, because this photo was from the 90’s. I’m on the far left and my bangs are still pretty high several years after the big hair fad, so I can’t tease too much.
Below are fellow bloggers. Please visit their sites to see what they look like now!
Julia @ Hooked on Houses – She was rocking that perm!!! Love it!
Cheryl @ Down in the Bog – I think she was ultra cool back in the day! Cheryl, you’re the only one without a perm… so you were way ahead of your time.
Dot @ Dot’s Spot – Wow! Look at those tight curls!! I love that dark red hair! You look the exact same now, just minus the perm.
Angie @ The Arthur Clan – Her hair is not the biggest, but it sure made me smile! ha! The funniest, was her son looked at the pictures and said “Look at that funny boy!” and then (even better) “That funny boy is wearing a dress!” It was the style back then!
Susan @ Blessed Nonetheless – This was one of her beautiful model shots. I think she’s making us all look bad.
Just in case you missed my big hair photo…
And now for the Big 80’s Hair winners…
Yes! There are two winners!! I just couldn’t decide. So both of you lovely big haired ladies get some Starbucks on me.
Bella @ Bella Casa
These bangs are so high! Love the glasses… I had them in white! ha. The future’s so bright… I gotta wear shades. (80’s song reference for you young ones).
This hair you had going on as a bridesmaid has to be the biggest thing!! Oh, and it was swooped to one side. Wow!
Here she is on the far left. Classic 80’s group hair! ha.
These guys look like they are from Karate Kid!! She was a black eyed pea, but the drug store developed the film backwards. Remember film? Now, this is some BIG hair!!! It’s not only tall, but WIDE! ha!
Bella and KayVonne please email me your address and I’ll get your gift card in the mail.
Again, thanks to all of you for making my Wednesday so much fun!!! Loved everyone’s ’80s photos and big hair.
Love this! Too funny – that first one has got to be photoshopped though right? Regardless it is too great! My hubby so misses the 80’s big hair and I have to admit I have trouble understanding the flat hair thing going on these days myself.
Robyns Online World’s last blog post..Giveaways from the Blogosphere
I just now saw your link on my blog! Sorry I missed all your fun! Great photos, except that first one is just scary, do you really think they made the child’s hair like that or is that photoshopped?
wheresmyangels’s last blog post..FRIDAY FRAGMENTS
Oh my…I’m speechless! Look at all that hair!!!
WOW, what a walk back in time. Very nicely done!
Holy Moly! Now, that’s some BIG hair! I’m laughing so hard…..thanks for sharing, seriously!
Love it! My kids say I look like a boy in my pictures, my 2 yr old actually thought a picture of me was him!
Amy, these were SO great!! I loved looking at all the pics & reading your comments. Btw, I did have perms in the 80’s, just not in my Junior Year (which was the year I had the pics for). As for being “cool”…. I was a little punk rock misfit who was in the Marching Band. I had an attitude yes, but I don’t know how cool I was. HAHA.
Thanks again for letting us participate!
🙂
It’s all so fabulous! Bella’s look is so classic 80’s! I love those glasses! Did you know they’ve come back in style? I think I need to get some. Aaaah, the 80’s… good times. Except that big hair family… that’s just a little scary.
I can’t stop looking a tthe family!!!! OH MY I can’t imagine evening trying to get Kate’s hair to do that….and well Brain he doesn’t even have any!
YAY!! What a nice surprise to come home to after work to see that I was one of the winners!!!
I still have not stopped laughing!! This was the FUNNEST and FUNNIEST contest!
Great job on the comments that go with all the pics.

AMY, AMY, AMY!
I am still laughing!! My youngest daughter wore the POOF on top too. Isn’t it amazing how styles do change? Don’t think anyone will ever be going back to that particular style.
I need to catch up here on your blog; have missed you! Looks like you are keeping very busy. Love all of these craft things, even if I can’t STAND Halloween…I don’t know why I feel that way…it’s just one of those I never cared for much. It always seemed my kids, if they got sick, it was always around Halloween. Maybe that’s it.
You have a wonderful evening; so good to “see” ya!
Love from East Texas to you! Ruth Ann
That is some of the biggest hair I’ve ever seen! I didn’t play because the oldest I ever was in the 80s was 9, so anything that happened to my hair was really my mom’s fault (except for the time I cut my bangs myself).
Thanks for the laughs, everyone!
My four year-old son is looking over my shoulder and saw the pictures of me again that you posted. He looked at me and said “my really hates those pictures of that ugly boy.” He’s giving me a major complex here…
Angie in OH
This post seriously made my day Amy! I had a hard time getting past the first photo of the entire family with big hair. They must love looking back at that one!
Super-“BIG HAIR” congrats to all the winners. You earned it. 🙂
Angie in OH
Ohmigoodness, LOLOLOL! I absolutely LOVE the family picture at the top of the post! Congrats to the winners 🙂

Amy! This is the best contest ever!!!
Hilarious!!!!
Congrats to the winners!!!
Too funny…next time you do a contest for worst roots, I`ll submit a photo! 🙂 🙂
Fun, fun, fun!!! This creatively fun, big hair contest really put a smile on my face this morning.
You ladies were all beautiful!
Rock on,
Susan
Hilarious! And you’re right- it does look like the guys from Karate Kid in that one photo!! HA!

Bella, I’m cracking up. You had the look.
I didn’t get around to finding my 80’s hair photos (phew, you can all breathe a sigh of relief) but I had a good laugh at all of you. With you. Laughing WITH you. Because I was there. And I completely understand.
🙂
Melissa
Oh, my gosh, I LOVE these!!! The winners truly deserved the Big Hair Crown. Here I thought mine was poofy!
I wonder if any of the companies that made perm solutions in those days are still in business? I sure don’t miss those days at the salon, sitting with that smelly stuff on my hair as my scalp burned.
Bella, I like you even more now that I’ve seen your rad ’80s style (I had those glasses in white, too, Amy!). I feel sorry for anyone who missed this decade because it was rockin’. Ha. -Julia
What’s really amazing is how I hated having such thick hair back then. Whenever I went to the beach, it turned into a sea of frizz. Now, I’d give anything to have my thick hair back!! (somewhere I remember someone telling me to be careful what you wish for….)
What really is amazing is how funny things look to us today – great for laughs – but how it was just so “normal” at the time.
Fun stuff, Amy!!
I am so proud to be a winner in your 80’s Hair contest, Amy, lol. Those were some of the best years of my life…although you would never know it from that pic of me, haha, I look so mad, hilarious!!!
Great pics from all of the contestants…Julia from Hooked On Houses, you had the Aqua Net going on 😉 haha
Thanks so much, this was fun, will be sure to blog about it, too 🙂
Bella 🙂
Dot! I am awake now… of course your wedding hair fit the bill!! ha. It’s up there. hee hee.
Now that is some GREAT 80’s HAIR!!!!!!!!
My kids get a kick out of my big hair picture! Just think about how much time I spent on my hair back then!!!! No wonder I prefer short hair now!

Wow, amazingly large hair!!! I guess my wedding hair-do didn’t fit the bill! The bridesmaid hair certainly was BIG!!
Congrats to the winners!!!
