Hair styles you've had???

Re: Hair styles you've had???

Actually in the mid 80s I had this cut that was shorter on top and long at the back, with blonde highlights. My photo appeared in the Local paper for something I was involved in at the time and a guy took the photo to the same salon I went to. he wanted his doing like mine, The girl said "Oh! I did his hair here too" to him. So I have been a model for hair I suppose. Incidentally the hairdresser was Robert Palmer's niece.

Re: Hair styles you've had???

A style that was in when I was 15 was called the 'Feather Cut', it was a style that was shaped from the top into the neck in layers and then longer hair at the bottom!.
My friend had it done and mentioned the name of the hairdressers, so off I went and asked for the same feather cut that Sue had, the hairdresser remembered and sat me down!..
Then!....SNIP, a huge chunk of my half way down my back hair went!..I nearly couldn't breathe when I asked her to stop!..Unknown to me there was a short feather cut and a long one, and ironically (sue was a common known name) the customer that she had recently done this style on was also called sue and she assumed that was the style I wanted!..
My mum hit the roof when I went home and saw all my long hair had gone!.

Re: Hair styles you've had???

I have had my hair short most of my life although I have attempted to grow it long at times. It took forever to grow and it is very thick so it just went wider too. It is naturally poker straight so it was 'in' in the 60s. I once had a frizzy afro perm which was a mess.
Now I can't afford/be bothered to go to the hair dressers so I just leave it and tie it up, it's down to my waist now and still growing.

Re: Hair styles you've had???

Being blessed with thin, fine, poker straight hair, my life has been blighted by wanting certain styles but not being able to have them.

Up until the age of 11 I had a severe bob with a fringe which I hated. Then I tried to grow it long but as soon as it got to my shoulders it turned into pathetic rats tails so that was no good. I also grew out the fringe but it just fell in my eyes as it was too fine to hold or stay in any clips. When I tied it back it was like a paint brush and I looked like Olive Oyl.

In 1990 the world had a wet look perm, but I wasn't allowed. "You haven't got the right sort of hair!" cried my mam "plus they look horrible". I can thank her for it now, but at the time I was the only girl in the school with cr*p straight hair.

At uni I cut it short when I was going through my trying to look like Natalie Imbruglia phase.

Since then it has fluctuated between pixie cut short and non-descript sort of long-ish every three or four years, but I still hate my hair!

Re: Hair styles you've had???

This is me when I was 10 years old! I hated my hair! It was horrid! I asked the hairdresser for big curls, so I felt all girly and like a princess and this is what she did to me!! LOL This must have been taken in 1993 lol

Im a hairdersser and I trained in the late 80's and there was a flat top comb that was a cream colour an it had a spirit level bubble in the top to get things nice and square. When I was in my mid tens I had a flat top and the lad who did my hair then used one of those. They were simply called a 'Flattopper' as shown below.

That’s exactly the one I was trying to describe, thanks.

Re: Hair styles you've had???

I've been to 1 or 2 barbers with a flat top comb, but don't remember a spirit level on it.

I used to go to one who used to trim the back of my neck by putting a comb over it & dragging a cut-throat razor over the top, which was a but scary to see in the mirror!

That would have freaked me out.

Re: Hair styles you've had???

The first haircut i got was a short cropped one called a skinhead.I did want a crewcut,but couldn't afford one,so ended up at my mates mums.all she could do was shave the lot off.We were giggling like infants at the age of 11,because we felt naughty with our new short haircuts,as we knew our mums would freeze and gasp with shock! We really believed that a skinhead was a brand new hairstyle for children into punk,because everyone at school said so.I got it done a few times after that,then just had normal hair for a few years until i left school.After school,i started putting stuff in my hair and spiking it up like everyone else who was into punk.That bored me after a while,and i just had normal hair after that.

Re: Hair styles you've had???

Oh I've had one of those used on me many times!

I had long hair for most of the 70s, then shortened a bit when punk arrived and then slicked back for the disco era. I had a jet black (dyed) mullet until The Smiths came along and saved me looking like a complete dick.

It's been variations on the same theme ever since, though I've had it shaved down to a number 2 a few times. I've still got all my hair at 47, so now I'm just grateful to have a choice of how I wear it.
