Hairstyles change from decade to decade, and the 1980’s was synonymous with huge hairdos. Anyone who was anyone had an enormous, Aquanet-laden monstrosity.

Why was this hairstyle so popular? People try to connect big 80’s hair with 80’s consumerism. It was a time when everyone worshiped massive wealth and excessive consumption. Did these ideals cause big hair? Who knows! Whatever the reason, 80’s hair was huge, and it’s hilarious.
