I think ninety percent of global warming is due to hairspray used in the 80s. If you ask me, it was well worth it. Hair was incredible big and bountiful in the 80s. Even men had long flowing locks, as you can see from this striking young gentlemen. I imagine the 80s was a rough time for women because their hair would be in direct competition with men's. The worst part is that men would end up using all of their wife's hair products.
Although it's easy to look back at old photos and cringe at the hairstyles, you have to remember that those were the popular hairstyle. That means what's popular now might be laughable years later. It's better to regret a bold haircut than a boring haircut. That's what makes going through old photographs interesting.
