Big hair: it’s back
Cats: beauty|Put away your flattening irons, people.
Say bye bye to shining, shimmering, sleek.
Think big, back combing and bee hive.
Think 80s hair bands, mousse, and heavy-hold spray.
Think Dolly Parton.
Think whatever you want. Big hair is back.
Angelina Jolie, Liz Hurley, Amy Winehouse. They’re all wearing it.
Even the hairdresser of this typist tells me that big hair is beginning to make a comeback in these parts. And that’s saying something in a town where 90s prom-girl up-do’s still rule the wedding circuit - fifteen years after the fact (according to my hair dresser.)
I don’t know. I think I might be ready for big hair again.
Are you?

Good god. Says who? I’m frightened now…I just bought myself a flattening iron a month ago after living with a LIFETIME of big, frizzy, huge hair. No way I’m picking up on this trend! It’ll be interesting to see who can carry it off….

I personally take responsibility for the hole in the ozone layer. If you could have seen the cans of Aqua Net I went through in my teens. And let’s not mention the masses and masses of mousse, and colored mousse, and gel, and Dipidi-do.
Funny enough, when I graduated the big hair lifestyle, I found another use for my Aqua Net. My bronze casting instructor would spray it on his wax positives before making the plaster negative. He said that it prevented bubles in the plaster from sticking to the wax. Who knew?!

Oh great. I suffered all through high school trying in vain to make a wall of my thin hair, and now I have to go through that again? I’ll just buy a damn wig.

With all the humidity lately I can’t help but have big hair. I refused to put anymore hairspray in my hair after the 80’s!

Funny, i don’t think of big hair when i think of Dolly Parton. Does she even have hair?

I am big hair. I will once again be in my element.

I can’t see over your big hair to reach for the back button

Why why why why why why ???????? It can’t make a come back if everyone boycotts it. Right?

I have naturally big hair so I couldn’t be happier.

MdG, I will thank you next time I get an ozone burn
BeckEye, you;re wearing a Carly wig on your blog right now, aren’t you?

Barbara, don’t you love it when your natural style comes back into “style”

I’ve done my time with big hair. Once the kids started to pull it out in large hunks, I quit. I have a buzz cut now and my straightening iron is long behind me.

Are you suggesting that Dolly is a person? My mamory is a bit scetchy these days. Har har.
June 13th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Barbara and Red, I couldn’t agree more! As far as I’m concerned, big hair never left. Embrace the curls
June 14th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Doc, buzz cut??? Why do I think you have long folk-singer hair?
Dick, mamory, hardy hardy har
Melissa, mine too gets big in the humidity

Like Beckeye, I have thin hair. I already have a blonde wig I used for when I dressed up as pregnant Britney Spears for Halloween. But I don’t think I want to wear that out in public sans costume.
