After looking into 1980's hairstyles in lessons I wanted to research how these were created and what tools and products they used as they didn't necessarily have the same products as us 30 years ago. Different to the 70's the hair was bigger and and more colourful, the make up followed the colourful trend as well. There was a few different styles which were popular for men and women, they involved tiny pony tails, mullets, spikes, back combing with high fringes as well as highlighted curls. Pony tails preferably to the side and finished with bows or big scrunchies.
The main style icons of the 80's were Madonna and Cindy Lauper. They used bright colours and hair accessories to create their looks. The tools they used to create their looks were crimper's and banana clips as well as bendy rollers and a lot of hairspray.
I came across a book by Richard Corson which looks at different hairstyles from the last 5000 years. Here are a few sketches of styles from the 1980s section.
