What your favourite 80s hairstyle says about you

Styles that we now call vintage or retro, were once the most trendy and coveted looks that everyone wanted to have. We look at old pictures and sometimes wish that we can get that hairstyle too. But no one’s actually stopping you. To the adventurous and daring person, almost nothing is dated. Take a look at these memorable styles from the 80s and find out what your favourite one says about you.

Big Hair
To put it simply, you are bold and daring. You are not afraid of being the centre of attention; you revel in it. It’s not that you seek out the spotlight (alright, sometimes you do) but it just naturally calls to you. Having big hair also means that you care a lot about your appearance. Some people have a disdain for vanity, but not you! You don’t mind all the care you have to do in order to maintain your hair. You’re a hardworking person who gives his all in every aspect of your life.

Mullet
You are a unique person. Today, some people find the mullet outlandish or weird. But that doesn’t bother you because you’ve never been one for conformity. In the 80s, the mullet was known to be worn by rebellious people. It has history with rock n’ roll music and the community that rockstars built. If this is your favourite style, it just means that society’s expectations don’t trouble you.

Perm
A perm is a hairstyle that gives you semi-permanent curls. You’ll need to have the style refreshed every now and then because they only last a couple of months. With that being said, this means that you’re a consistent and dedicated person. Taking care of a perm requires a number of steps to be followed. If you can do that for your hair that just means you have the ability to do that in many aspects of your life.

Flat Top
You must be an innovative person. The flat top started out as a traditional military cut. However, people turned into something more fun as compared to its stiff origins. You enjoy changing things up and trying out different styles. That’s something you can try out with the flat top by getting different kinds of fades.

Slicked Back Hair
For a style that is still a staple today, it’s the most different one on this list. If all the other hairstyles mentioned were about being daring or creative, the slicked back style is the opposite. It’s traditional, neat and formal. Businessmen and students of the academia favour this style because of its proper feeling. A person who prefers this look is probably on the more serious side, but still a lovely gentleman.

Your hairstyle speaks volumes about your personality. Since it’s one of the first things people will notice about you, it’s time to step it up.
