I didn’t even bat too much of an eye over the previously posted pic – it still seemed plausible with a cursory glance!
In reality, my hair at the time was big…and *crunchy* – full of cheap wet gel, soap and Elnett.
I hoped I was the hot ticket.
Not to shame. We’ve all aged. People have always said I looked like Brandon Fraiser. I only agreed after seeing The Whale. Yeah. *Now* I look like him. Maybe less hair though now too just to be safe.
I got perms on top of perms, and did a lot of dancing at clubs. Aqua net was my best friend. In the 90s I went straight, that is, my natural hair, and everyone asked me why I straightened my hair. It was a glorious time for hair, those 80s.
Good work! Much better.
Omg. Stephanie??
Yes I would.
And I’d like to thank the Ozone Layer for its sacrifice to allow us to have that hair back then.
I thought the other one seemed off
I can smell the AquaNet through my phone I’m seeing this picture on.
The good ol big hair days. I remember those clearly and remember that the bigger, the better.
I had a girlfriend with hair like that. Spooning was hell.
Days of Camaro hair!!!
Now show us the “reality” picture of what you looked like if you actually used the hair products…
The ‘Fuck me’ hairdo.
I think I had this 💇♀️! 😂😂😂
The word that you’re looking for is ‘unedited’.
Thank you OP. This is 100%, grade A, 80s hotness
The days when you’d go to a family gathering and there were dozens of these hairdos. I believe some Texas communities never moved on from this stage.
Thought this was Marie Osmond at first
I can smell the aqua net
oh this isnt edited? no shit
Sorry. STILL HOT!

I wasn’t.
Legit!
If you think the women had gigantic hair in the 80s, I invite you to go check out the male rock bands of the period.
I rocked long hair with a spiral perm in the 80s. It was fierce.
Man, I love that natural look 😗
My hair actually looked like that. Dark brown though.
Voluminous
Would be interesting to see where she is today.

good job finding the original
About 1986 probably
Yes, that’s the real deal.
the bigger the hair, the closer to god!
I can smell the aquanet.
There was such a thing as photo retouching then, especially for makeup and hair ads.
Still looks like there 80s
Big hair, blank stare. We all were shooting for that in the 80s
I can smell the Ogilvie
Omg I would spend hours in the mornings to get my hair like this. Like everyone else said rip ozone because of aqua net
My hair was big, my hips were small. It was a great decade…
She is totally pulling that off and even the silly version was cute.
This is my “dream hair”, still.

This is what we all aspired to in the 80’s. Sadly, most perms did not end up looking like this 😬
Needs more mousse and hairspray
