Bad Hair

RealMedia: Bad hair


Bad hair

This included the three-in-one hairstyle was better known as the mullet - short and spiky on the top, longer at the back of the head and then depending on how much patience you had, long down the back. This was favoured by many sports stars including Chris Waddle and Glen Hoddle.

Some pop stars took the silly hair cut to the extreme. The lead singer (and ex-hairdresser) of A Flock Of Seagulls had a ski slope on his head.

Afro-Caribbean hair got the wet look, whilst white women contributed to the hole in the ozone layer by using gallons of hair spray to get the Bonnie Tyler look.
