The 80s..... In Ireland?

A great compilation I found on YouTube about the 80s decade. Funny thing is it was put together by a guy who grew up in the 80s in Ireland. Apparently things on the Emerald Isle were pretty much the same as they were here. Interesting how American pop culture has a global effect especially today with television, Hollywood, and the internet.

80s Hair Styles

That Feathered Look

Jheri Curl

A LOT of Hairspray Here

 80s hair styles were just as over the top whacked as the clothing. I remember having mine parted down the middle and "feathered" back with hair spray on the sides. And then there was the "big hair" crowd, girls who teased and styled their hair like some weird hair sculpture, the bigger the better! There was one girl in our school who used an entire bottle of Aqua Net on her hair every day, not an exaggeration! Her hair was locally famous. And of course there was the famous dripping goo that was the Jheri Curl for the fashion conscious black man made popular by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie.
