World Hair Trends: Remembering the past up to now
Wednesday, December 10, 2008Professional stylists influence hair fashion with masterfully crafted works of art presented at local, national, and global hair shows. Each new show reveals a fresh approach to hair styling and coloring. New products, new techniques, and a range of looks from classic to the very fabulous ones!
Well, this is a bit unintentional post for me. I googled if there's such a topic about funny hairstyles, and my luck momgrind and 80srewind provided some pics for me to relate to.
Caution: Some of the hairstyles you are about to see are not Eco-friendly and may harm our ozone layer. The people on the images are just fashionable and have the sense of humor to show up. Parental guidance is advised. :D
Let's start from the 50s...
1950s: Beehive Hair
Correct me if i'm wrong but i guess now i know where these ERASER heads came from.
And oh! there's an urban legend occurring on this hairstyle. see this for more:
The Fatal Hairdo
Early 60s: Big, Stiff, Very “Done” Hair
1970s: Feathered Hair
and the male version...
and it made me think if the U.S. former President George Washington be the first to have this hairstyle.
1970s - 1980s: Tight Perm, A.K.A Poodle Perm
Some rocker style of the 70s and the 80s. A big tribute for the slow rock legends including Dire Strait in my opinion. No wonder why our paps even did this style before :D Well it's funny nowadays.
1980s: Big Hair, Jheri Curl, New Wave and the Mohawk
According to momgrind, eighties were all about power dressing, big shoulders, lots of jewelry and of course BIG hair. You will likely need a combination of hair mousse, hair gel and hairspray to recreate this lovely look.
Check out this metal band, Poison. Now see the idea of what was BIG hair meant those times.
Look at this guy. Jheri curl was a product that African Americans used to relax their hair. The result was a curly, wet look that, at the time, was hot. So hot in fact that Micheal Jackson himself had a Jheri Curl (or something close to it). Micheal Jackson’s hair actual caught fire during a Coke commercial when a spark from the fire works on set hit this chemicalized hair. Caution: Flammable!
Mike Score, lead singer of an 80s band known as A Flock of Seagulls, is wearing a style that he made famous.
The New Wave 80s hair style consists of short hair in the back and sides with very long hair in the front swooping over one eye. Gay is the way to go with the new wave hair style. It should look pretty and glamourous.
This is one of the most insane hairstyles of the 80s. It looks like a stylized backward mullet. There is simply no excuse for this hair style.
1970s-1990s: Mullet
Well, i call this the horse hair style. :D Short in the front, top, and sides, but long in the back. This hairstyle was popular from the early 1970s to the early 1990s. Just take a look!
Below is the Mohawk, a hairstyle which consists of shaving both sides of the head, leaving a strip of noticeably longer hair in the middle. Mohawks became common in youth punk subcultures in the early 1980s, then gradually spread to mainstream fashion. The hair in the middle is often elaborately shaped:
Timeless: The Combover
A combover is worn by bald or balding men in which the hair on one side of the head is grown long and then combed over the bald area to minimize the display of baldness. Mostly seen on politicians nowadays :)
And spartans...
Today? There are so many hair style trends for Y2k. Hair trends come and go so quickly, it can be a challenge keeping up on the latest hair styles.

just feel free to greet me anywhere on the posts listed :) that's why i put this inline comment for more convenience than the old one. For me having a shoutbox on this template will look untidy and unorganized. And besides, commenting here will benefit the researchers especially students who are finding some articles similar on any of the post here. Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search engines will tend to index these pages. So it'll be easy for the beneficiaries, of cors including this blog :) I guess that would be much for SEO marketing.
