Having been born in 1991, I missed living in the ’80s by just a few short years. Today, only at ’80s-themed parties can I wear neon leg warmers and dance to Cyndi Lauper, letting my naturally curly, frizzy hair fly all over the place. Although big 80s hairdos are now a long-gone trend, the photographic evidence still remains. These pictures serve as proof that some of our favorite celebrities once rocked these crazy, hilarious, and unforgettable hairstyles.
It’s hard to imagine celebs such as Johnny Depp and Nicole Kidman as young adults of the 1980s. Fortunately, I’ve done some digging and found pretty great pictures of them, as well as of other celebrities, wearing some typical ’80s hairdos from back in the day. While I was searching, I began to wonder what today’s stars might look like if we still lived in the decade of bright colors and big hair. The red carpet would certainly be interesting, don’t you think? The last six pictures in the gallery are of some of today’s stars sporting the biggest and boldest of ’80s hairstyles. Though they aren’t real, I guarantee they’ll still make you laugh!
Which 80s-style celebrity photo do you like best, Lovelies? Have any of you rocked big hairdos in the past?

I’m dating myself here, but I had similar hairstyles as Eva Longoria’s and Mariah Carey’s. Spiral perms were the in thing back then. Btw, the fake pic of Will Smith’s high top fade made me laugh because he had the real thing back in the day.

@heart_leigh@xanga - LOL I was going to say the same thing about Will Smith.
I am pretty sure I wore my hair in the crazy looking side pony tail that what’s her face…Drabby McSappy is wearing. I can’t remember what her name is I just know it isn’t Taylor Dayne,

(I know! Judging by the superimposed hi top fade on Will Smith, I swear it belonged to Kid from Kid ‘n Play! lol!)
“I am pretty sure I wore my hair in the crazy looking side pony tail that what’s her face…Drabby McSappy is wearing. I can’t remember what her name is I just know it isn’t Taylor Dayne,”
(I also wore the side pony tail, but not that damn high! lol! Man, it was the times. We did lots of crazy shit with our hair, didn’t we? Oh, and Drabby McSappy is Taylor Swift.
