11 '80s Hairstyles That are Back in a Big Way

The '80s were known for their abundance of curly hairstlyes, and bangs were no exception. If your hair is naturally curly, ditch the straightener and let your bangs dry natural, teasing them slightly to blend them in with the rest of your hair.

Besides curls, the decade of extravagance was known for its big hair, so get your hairspray and teasing brush ready. If you're worried about damaging your hair, consider adding volumizing products and velcro rollers to your routine.

Surprisingly, perms are once again gaining popularity in the world of chemical hair treatments, not just to acheive tight pin curls but also looser waves.

Crimping your hair is an easy way to add some extra volume and thanks to the abundance of hot tools at our disposal, there's so many variations to try. Use an classic crimping iron for tiny crinkle curls or a crimper with larger rods to achieve beach-ready mermaid waves.

Thanks to the newfound appreciation of punk rock icons like Blondie's Debbie Harry by celebrities like Miley Cyrus and everyday fans alike, layered shag cuts and even full-blown mullets have become seriously popular.

Despite its elevated appearance, the bubble ponytail requires no advanced expertise, just a few hair ties. Opt for clear elastics to let the unique style shine or reach for more decorative hair accessories.

Big bows were one of Madonna's signature hair accessories in the '80s, but there are so many ways to rock the demure style today, from using tied ribbon as a headband to clipping bow barettes in your mane.

From off-center ponytails to deep parts to completely shaved sides, asymmetrical hairstyles offer a way to add a little edge to your personal style. 

Though Ariana Grande is the high pony queen of our time, the hairstyle dominated the '80s both as a full updo and its half-up half-down variation, the "whale spout." Bonus points if you tie it up with a scrunchie!

Blunt cuts will always be en vogue, but adding layers to your hair—especially around the face—allows for the opportunity to play with flattering shapes. Style them by blow drying with a round brush for big, fluffy curls.

Claw clips from the '90s have made their comeback as a key component of the off-duty model look, and now '80s banana clips are finding their footing as an alternative to the hair tie for effortless, cascading ponytails.
