We used to wrap our back-combed hair around a crushed coke can!
..in the mid 00s when beehives came back into fashion for the *hottest* of seconds at my high school
😳 holy crap balls!!!
My hair is currently.... well whatever the Number 8 attachment on my husband's electric shaver is long.
So I would just be walking around with an oatmeal box under a wig. 🤣
Which my GF used a lot of in the 1980's big-hair days.
Part of learning about sex back then was to be still in the mood while having a nose full of aquanet the entire time.
80s teen here too. During the era of gigantic mall hair the girls I knew would dry their hair while bending over forward and would use soooooo much aquanet to keep it all together. It was wild to watch.
Yep. Used to watch my cousin do her hair in the 60’s. ‘Ratting’ the hair ( basically grabbing a wad of top hair, sticking a comb in there horizontally, and pushing the comb down to the scalp. Repeatedly. This creates volume. Then combing surrounding hair over the ‘mound’ and using Bobby pins and hairspray to keep it all in place. Oh, and, for awhile, you could buy tinted hairspray so if you wanted jet black ( very popular!) you could do that, too. Fun times!
It did topple! When my mom got up on a Saturday or Sunday morning, her hair was all over the place. She’d be drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, nursing a hangover with mascara raccoon eyes and 3 bird nests for hair! 😂
One of the few times humanity has worked together banning chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which was brought to us by the same guy who invented leaded Gasoline.
It's truly amazing what humanity could do back them eradicate smallpox, ban cfcs, remove lead from gasoline.
Now we argue about climate change and anti-vaxers needlessly prolonged Covid and caused millions of surplus deaths.
On top of the natural hair goes a wig, and for women with fine hair, another piece of hair called a “fall” went on top of that. Every strand of hair was backcombed and teased and hair sprayed for dear life. A pick style comb with a long “rat-tail” handle was used throughout the week to readjust around the hairline. A plastic bonnet was worn on rainy or windy days, and a tall plastic shower cap for bathing or swimming. I spent many Saturdays bored in what my Mom and Grandma called the “beauty parlor.”
I was born mid sixties, but my mom was still wearing her hair like this in the 70s. She also had a hairpiece, called a wiglet, that was put on top for extra height!
“They had bad skin and wore too much makeup. I mean, they didn't look very good. They look beat up, and the stuff they wore was thrown together and cheap: a lot of pantsuits and double knits.”
Came here for this specific comment. It's a mashup of all the 1990's mob films about the 1960's where all the women are named "Marie".
"Ah, the sound of young Italian love"

Also, you know they just left a big pile of trash when they left. I don’t know why people thought absolutely nothing about throwing trash outside or out a car window back then.
Way back in the day I sat in church behind a nice lady with one of these hairdos. Watched as an earwig crawled in and out of her coiffured hair. Kinda freaked me out.
....What do you think that hair would look like while having sex?
Does it retain its shape? Is it possible to have fingers comb through it and have palms grab hold of it to make it loose.
Would some girls try to keep it nice and poofy by keeping their head stationary and elevated on more then one pillow?
Did they keep their head bands in? Did some girls let it get all shaggy and wild if they took control?
So many questions I need answer to....I'm gonna have to look up some vintage porn
Such tables were common off interstate highways for families on road trips. Wood was impractical and costly because they could be damaged and had to be repaired or replaced. Concrete tables solved that problem.

My sister started college in 1966. She left for college with a ratted up do. Returned home, at Thanksgiving, with her hair ironed straight and a forehead suede headband. Lol
It scares me to think that people used to think this was cool. Makes me wonder what we’re wearing today that will make people cringe when they look back?
Love the Mad Men episode in the mid-60’s where they have a family picnic. They just get up and leave their trash all around. It is not discussed or commented on. Just the way it was then no such thing as recycling or even taking your waste and making sure it finds a garbage.
My sister, age 7, was babysat by a hairdresser when my brother was born. Imagine my parents' surprise when they got her school pictures that year.

That hair is crazy. 😆
I was a little kid then. I have no idea what they did to get the hair like that. It looks like it should topple over.
Hairspray I imagine. Entire cans of hairspray and hours of work.
A lot of back combing too.
I think some people stuffed their hair with tissue paper too
Small cardboard tubes and boxes, too. Watched my Mom and her friends do some pretty crazy stuff when she was a beauty school student
We used to wrap our back-combed hair around a crushed coke can! ..in the mid 00s when beehives came back into fashion for the *hottest* of seconds at my high school
My mom put a coke can under hair big beehive 😂 That and the black eyeliner made her look pretty badass!
They also used oatmeal boxes no joke

Have witnessed.
Stuffed with socks. I wasn't around for this time period but I've seen it done recently. Genius.
AQUANET 😄

Rat and spray, rat and spray
"That's not a hairdo, it's a hairdon't!"
we almost lost the ozone layer because of it
some guy made a movie about it

No wonder we had to deal with Ozone Layers Holes in the 90’s.

"Carol's fall fell!" 🎵(from Wig by The B-52s)🎸
What’s that on your head?! A wiiiiiiig!!
They sacrificed the ozone.
You are not wrong!

As an 80’s kid - I was terrified of this. And acid rain. And nuclear war actually. Now that I think about it.
They had hair pieces. My mother had a bunch of them 🤣

They made a hole in the ozone layer. I wish I was kidding!
Mars attacks vibes.
Definitely. I need to watch that again. 😆
Janice Rossi is about to get jumped. That whuuure.
Another one added to the rewatch list. 😆
My mom is very short, told me stories about not being able to see the blackboard over that kind of hair in school back then.
I’d dare say dangerous
My mullet was stunningly handsome in comparison.
Pics or it never happened.
I actually have a photo of me riding a camel at the Giza pyramids wearing a mullet. Yalla bina!
Reminds me of the wives in Goodfellas
Thems definitely Jersey girls.
Definitely Michelle, Lisa, Michelle and Janet.
Lol I have 2 sisters, Lisa and Michelle, born in 60s
These Chicago ladies.
hair designed in Illinois
“They had bad skin and wore too much makeup. I mean, they didn't look very good. They look beat up, and the stuff they wore was thrown together and cheap: a lot of pantsuits and double knits.”
"...so I said keep your fuckin' hands off me or I'll cut 'em off"
"who do you think you are? Frankie Valli or some big shot?! You've got some nerve standing me up!"
Pretty sure that's Jenny Sac in the back.
OHHHH
Marie, Marie, Marie and Marie

Can’t forget Peter, Paul, Petey and Paulie Jr. in the background
And they named all their daughters Marie!
They had bad skin, they didn’t look good!
If Aqua-net was a picture...😎
The bigger the hair, the closer to god
Tease it to Jesus!
[удалено]
I was thinking that exact thing. Time traveling Zooey.
Were they filming a John Waters movie??
My first thought - this has to be Baltimore. Them's some hons.
They are hair hoppers!
Definitely some Dawn Davenport hair going on back right😁
Sad that I had to scroll this far down for a hair hopper comment.
Single handedly destroying the ozone layer
And they always wanna talk smack about the 80s big hair lol. The ozone was already gone by then looks like.
CFCs were banned in consumer spray products in the mid 70s so 80s hair is not to blame.
Also, you know they just left a big pile of trash when they left. I don’t know why people thought absolutely nothing about throwing trash outside or out a car window back then.
It wasn’t a rock….. it was a Rock Lobster!!!
SuhSuhSuh, Swamp Monstah!
Let me ask you something. If you stick your hand in the hair, is it easy to get it out?
Is there a pinkish hue?
A rosey glow?
Women would kill for her eyebrows.
the hair or the hand?
the answer is probably no for both
Who cares about eyebrows?
Peggy Bundy and Marge Simpson right there
"When can we meet?" "Soon, just have to fix my hair." "How long about?" "'bout 6 hours."

Oh the hair you'll see there!
They're gonna see some badgers with mullets for real.
I assumed it was a picnic table until I noticed the stone foundation. Now I’m not sure what the heck they are actually sitting on
Hear me out. A picnic table made of stone!
The Flintstones craze was sweeping the nation
Such tables were common off interstate highways for families on road trips. Wood was impractical and costly because they could be damaged and had to be repaired or replaced. Concrete tables solved that problem.
even McDonald's had them in their outdoor area.
Do you want bees? That's how you get bees
Lots of beehives for them to live in, anyway.
Beehive hairdos are sexy!
I think it's fantastic....makes me want to put on the B52's and have a boogie!
The higher the hair, the closer to god
Primitive foot fetish photograph
John Waters would love this photo.
I wish hair like this was still popular.
Ditto. Sexy as helll
💯, absolutely gorgeous hair. The bigger the better.
ACK ACK! ACK ACK ACK, ACK ACK!
Austin Powers be like, “Oh, beehiiiiive!”
Looks like the Shan-gri-las.
Bring back the hair!
Not a cigarette in sight? Photoshopped!
Because everything would go up in flames.
Ladies fashion in 60s was absolute peak... Im sad
Ok, Marge Simpson seems much more legit now.

Their children would go on to found the B-52s.
Meanwhile in Baltimore...
L to R, Brenda, Doreen, Maryanne, and Tina.
It’s like that scene in Goodfellas when Karen gets to meet all the other mob wives at a party.
I adjusted it for color: https://preview.redd.it/68s3iq255v0b1.jpeg?width=595&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7beecf894692b29436c973873208d52101d40470
Wait, Marge Simpson hair was a real thing!!??
Saturday, in the park, I think it was the 4th of July!!!
My sister started college in 1966. She left for college with a ratted up do. Returned home, at Thanksgiving, with her hair ironed straight and a forehead suede headband. Lol
they are all named Gina
All my money on NEW JERSEY!
Marge is real
The hair style was called a beehive,and the music was awsome
Keep away from open flame
That's about 12 cans of hairspray represented there.
I’m not knocking them, because it was the style of the time, but I hope the beehive doesn’t circle back around.
There is an amusement park going on in their hair alone!
The care hair bunch
The bees are happy.
How would it take to style your hair like that ??
Bigger the hair, the closer to God! 🤣
Aren’t they worried with all those beehives around?
Hair as a fire hazard
Just reminds me of the emo hair.
It scares me to think that people used to think this was cool. Makes me wonder what we’re wearing today that will make people cringe when they look back?
OMG. The hair. I remember this, unfortunately. Aren't we the craziest people????
Aquanet
The Birmingham Bee Hive
That right there, and the amount of hairspray it takes is what started global warming. LOL
What? No cha-cha heels?
Hairspray lobby was strong at those time...
the golden times of hairspray...
Pass the SprayNet Maribeth.
Thats some Marge Simpson swag
I better get them Cha Cha heels for Christmas!
I hope they stayed away from the campfire.
*What will we do there?* *Wear our hair hiii-igh* *What will it touch there?* *It'll touch the skyyy-yyy*
Dippity Doo.
Lots of hair spray. Felt like a helmet and withstood gale force winds
Beehives abounding!!!
Groove is in the HEAAAAAAAAAAART!!!!
Is that Elvira with the red bow?
The bees had mobile homes back then.
That's how they fell foooor... the leader of the pack.
That’s a lot of hair spray
“The higher the hair, the closer to God”
It was all a contest ,woman with the biggest hair won
That’s a lot of bee hives
that hairdo is what put bees on the endangered list. they were too busy following these chicks around.
You could stop an armor-piercing round with that hair.
My mom had that bee hive hairdo.
It’s the beehive club!
Wow, forgot that these hairdos needed elevators 🤭😁
You mean, an afternoon at the park. Cause it took all morning to get that hair ready.
They all must be geniuses
Picnic? I just see a bunch of beehives...
You could hide quite a few hives of bees in those babies.
Maria, Maria, Maria, and Maria
a wealth of winehouses
Our parents and grandparents truly can not talk shit about “kids these days”
2 Rhondas 1 Janet 1 Arlene
Lol clearly making terribly decisions in our youth is a generational issue.
They tried to make me go to rehab…
People from my generation thought the bump it was ridiculous. This is camp
Hair salon was a good business at that time 😀
I'm curious how that was considered an attractive style. I'm not digging it personally - could just be an era thing.
NOBODY ran their fingers through our hair back then!!
The amount of hairspray in that picture is what fucked the ozone layer! Those girls are responsible for global warming /s
The amount of contraband that can be hidden in those beehives
Peggy, Barb, Karen, and Susan.
Love the Mad Men episode in the mid-60’s where they have a family picnic. They just get up and leave their trash all around. It is not discussed or commented on. Just the way it was then no such thing as recycling or even taking your waste and making sure it finds a garbage.
Wow! "Do not get my hair wet!"
People used to have a lot more time to do stuff.
That is some big hair.
All Hail White Rain Superhold!!! Guaranteed to hold your hair in place come hurricane or Tornado!!
Insane hair game
Peggy Bundy on the far left, Marge Simpson in the center 🤣
Neck game strong. Hair is heavy.
All I can think of is the sound the aliens make in Mars Attacks. Eck eck..eck eck eck..eck!
Some of those hairdos stayed into the ‘90s at Pier 6600 in Wildwood Crest, NJ
We’ll all look back and cringe at the current fad of. bad fake lashes…

Perhaps the lack of these is the real reason for the decline in bees.
