I must confess … that when it comes to hairstyles, I’ve had some shockers over the years (In fact, I shared about my most recent hair disaster in this post last year).
There was the permed and highlighted curly (actually, it looks more frizzy than curly in the pic below) bob that earned me the nickname “Mopsy” in the mid 80’s – because if you turned me upside down, you could use my hair as a mop, derrrrrr.
By the end of the 80’s I was a card carrying member of the Big Hair Brigade. I wasn’t blessed with natural curly hair so had regular perms!
In the mid 90’s it was all about long hair with a fringe – it looks a bit short in the pic below though. (Yes, I used to cut my own – can’t you tell?!) …
This photo however is of my personal UN-favourite hairstyle of all time!
What was I thinking?!
Thankfully, even the worst hair cut grows out eventually …

Sorry I had to laugh, I’ve been on that 80s – 90s hair journey too. I never had a perm, but certainly had big hair! A teaser comb and hairspray were my best friend for a while there 🙂

Just what we all need – a laugh on a Monday!
Jacana says
Oh dear – how I remember the perm!!!
Janet says
I wonder if they’ll ever come back in again?!
Me says
Now sure what happened to my comment – if this is a double up Janet – please delete it – thanks !
I was a card carrying member of the big hair brigade in the 80’s as well. K has killed herself laughing at some of the photos we have found of my hairstyles through the ages !!!
Have the best day !

Yes Miss 16 thinks it’s highly entertaining to look at some of my old photos …
Lisa says
All my bad hair days evidence are in photos at my mums buried somewhere, thank goodness!! How brave of you to share your photos!! Love the 80/90’s hair!
Janet says
I look so young in all of them!
Ness says
I can’t say anything, as I had FAR WORSE perms myself. You know what, as bad as those styles may seem years later, I think you pulled them all off because of your big beautiful smile. I honestly notice that more than the hair.
Janet says
Awww Ness that is so sweet of you – thank you!
Kirsty @ My Home Truths says
I agree with Ness – your smile is stunning Janet!
Janet says
I’m blushing! But thank you!
ann says
Hahaha!! I love a good 80’s hairstyle!! I almost wish they would come back into fashion so I can try it!!
Janet says
You never know … perms could just be the next big thing?! (excuse the pun!)
Jo Tracey says
I had super short hair all my life (yep, even as a little girl) so missed out on the curly perm 80s. 6 years ago I decided to grow my hair & discovered that it’s seriously big & seriously curly. Now I could grace the front row of an 80s Bon Jovi concert with confidence….just 20 odd years too late!
Janet says
Ooo I’m sure it’s beautiful!
