30 Most Ridiculous 80s Hairstyles

It was spunky and cute at the time, but now it’s just an unfortunate trend innocent girls fell for.

It’s a classic, and that’s all there is to say about it. 

There’s a good chance she had to walk sideways through doors to just get all that hair and the bow inside.

We doubt there’s a single strand of hair that isn’t teased between the two of them. Heck, we wouldn’t surprised if they were never able to brush it out.

He clearly felt amazing with this bird’s nest on top of his head, and we are happy for him. 

He was prepared for any impromptu physical challenge that came his way. 

The family that rocks bad hairstyles together, should destroy the photographic evidence together.

This is cute on little babies, but a grown woman? Not so much.

Even back then, it seems like she knows something is wrong...

Rock on sister. We see you, and we agree you’ve got the raddest cassette collection in town.

How was this even possible? Someone teach us.

She strongly believes in the separation of bangs and hair. She doesn’t care about politics, but this she will fight for. 

Doesn’t it make you want to just smooth your hand over the top of her head? No? Us either. 

This headscarf is definitely supporting all that hair. Well, the headscarf and four cans of Aqua Net.

Since the bangs and sharp hair cut weren’t enough, she threw in a rat tail on the side. And it is magically horrendous.

These bangs are strangely mesmerizing. We could get lost in them all day.

She is hands down responsible for the hole in the ozone layer. She definitely went through too much hairspray.

The look leaves just one question: did he cut it square, or was this just a divine occurrence? Surely, it was divine. 

We don't really even have words for this one...what is it?

This is truly unique. Props to him for the commitment and ingenuity.

Color this bright has never been seen, nor will it ever be seen again. Honestly, that’s a blessing.

We’re so glad she survived being electrocuted and was able to sit for her school picture. 

There’s a 85% chance her dog was her inspiration for this look. Hopefully the dog didn’t mind being copied. 

When the squad looks this “good,” it’s no wonder they couldn’t get a date. They were just too intimidating.

The swoop in these bangs is truly awe-inspiring. Maybe she’ll let us borrow her Aqua Net to try it out ourselves. 

If there were a supervillain in the 80s, it was absolutely this lady. Those bangs are just devious. 

We can’t pull our eyes away. It’s like Wiley Coyote shot himself on a rocket right into a rock wall. 

Another look that leaves you puzzling over the thought process. Why did you do this to yourself?

Oh, why did you make these poor life choices? We can never unsee this. 

Good lord, it’s like something out of a horror movie. How was this even achieved?!
