I don't think we will see the frizzed-out looks of the 80s again, because there are so many better ways to style now and so many products that are better for your hair. I will never sit for another perm again. There's no need to.
Bring it on!!!!

I liked big hair styles but hope that these days people consider their natural hair flow, so to say. E.g. people with gorgeous curly hair should not feel compelled to straighten them and those with natural flat and straight hair should not be nudged into perms or other hair damaging techiques of the 80s.
There should never be one mainstream style and I’m grateful we have many choices and everyone can be glamorous and fashionable in their own way.
As a guy, when big hair was the thing..I liked straight hair. I remember there were some exchange students from Europe in my high school and thinking how great they looked compared to the locals because they didn't have these ridiculous hairdos. My high school yearbook is absurd except for these girls and a few of the alternative music types who didn't follow the trend.
Straight hair is the thing since grunge...I still like it better and always will.
I also hate the stick straight hair I see on just about every actress out there. I don't think it is flattering to very many people especially when you get older. I have always had pin straight hair and wanted curly hair (doesn't everybody want the opposite of what they have?).
Agree and that's because women with straight hair think how much better and easy curly hair will be to manage and style. And people with curly hair think how think how much better and easy it would be to manage and style straight hair. See how that works?

I decided years ago to accept my thick wavy/curly hair for what it is and spend a lot less time in the bathroom.
Same here except I don't pay someone to straighten it with a blow dryer but use a product that really does "tame" it to some degree and it's just wavyish if I blow dry it. If not, well...it's very wavyish.
As a lazy person with very thick hair and a ton of it, I sure hope so lol. Those were the days- got a perm and I was practically wash and go except for the whole styling the bangs thing. It looked ridiculous but In retrospect it was quick. Now a days if I spend only 10 min on my hair I look like a homeless person with a frizzy mop on my head!My hair is coarse, not straight, not curly and definitely not wash and go. Bring back the perm and a banana clip or two and I could save time and be awkwardly fashionable again lol

I didn't see "big hair" in my environment, in the 80's/90's. Not among young women, anyway. But at the university (Seattle), nobody, not the women faculty, either, had "big hair". Maybe it was mainly a Hollywood & suburban thing? I didn't see in in the SF Bay Area, where I'm from, either. Maybe it was a Mid-Western thing? It was not present in my world, not among moms or their daughters.
Where were you living back then, OP?
I saw it in the Bay as a kid. Some of my neighbors had big hair. It was definitely still a thing in the 90s when I moved to the south and most of my high school years.

That's "big hair"? I thought people were talking about pouty shoulder-length styles, or short, poufy perms. The photos that have been posted in the past of the 80's styles didn't look like the one you posted. But I didn't see that in the East Bay among my peers, or at the university, or among moms, no. Nor in Seattle. What came back in, in Seattle in the early 90's was a style from the 60's; like Mary of Peter, Paul and Mary wore. Blunt--cut bangs in front, straight, flat shoulder-length hair. The opposite of big hair. This (below) was hugely popular, for some reason. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...act=mrc&uact=8
