The 1980s may be long gone but the current wave of trending hairstyles is indicating that the celebrated decade hasn’t left our collective consciousness.

The '80s are reentering the spheres of beauty and fashion for the latest decade to emulate, especially as we walk into 2021 with a longing to try something new. Though many wildly different hairstyles proliferated in the '80s, they were all unapologetically bold. If you love volume, texture, and oversize hair accessories, you are in the right place. Let us have a look at the ’80s hairstyle ideas that have officially made a comeback.

Curly Bangs

The ‘80s were popular for their abundance of curly hairstyles, and bangs were no exception. If you have naturally curly hair, ditch the straightener and let your bangs dry naturally, teasing them slightly to blend them in with the rest of your hair.

Crimped Hair

Crimped hair is cool again! Crimping your hair is an easy way to offer some additional volume and thanks to the abundance of hot tools at our disposal. This textured hairstyle can be crafted with either a crimping iron or tiny braids, although the former is a much easier and quicker choice.

Shaved Undercut

If big hair is not your thing, opt for an undercut.  Ask your hairstylist to shave away a portion of hair just above your ears. The noticeably longer top will make the sides and back of your hair look disconnected from the rest of your hair.

Disconnected Layers

The modern idea of layers is natural and subtle, just highlighting the facial features instead of overwhelming them. However, in the ‘80s, layers were all about making a statement. To channel this bold look, ask your hairstylist to incorporate punk rock inspiration into your look with dramatically different lengths of layers.

Big Blowout

The ‘80s-inspired blowout is not the same kind as you know from your local salon. This one involves a healthy application of mousse and if you’re feeling ambitious, use an oversize round brush to ensure that your pageant hair reach new heights.

High Ponies

Though Ariana Grande is the high pony queen of our time, the hairstyle largely dominated the '80s, both as half-up half-down variation and a full updo. This vintage hairstyle has been updated with clip-in extensions to create a mermaid-like cascade of hair down the back. You can try this out on your date night, and make sure the ponytail portion sits up as high as possible on your crown.
