35 Hair Nightmares That Were Once Considered Cool In The 80s And 90s

As a 10yr old male I was a 30yr old lesbian.

My mom loved to get professional photos taken of my siblings and me when we were kids. I hated it. I learned fairly quickly that if I complained or was fussy they would just keep going and ask me to be still or quiet. However, if I behaved perfectly and just made awful facial expressions the photos would end. This little gem is a product of my silent temper tantrums.

My 80s hair didn’t even take a break for softball. I can practically hear Skid Row through this photo.

“In 1988, my mother won a free portrait session from Olan Mills for me and my brother. I remember feeling uncomfortable with my clothes and our pose and I think the only thing that felt normal to us was our hair.”

“This was me in first grade. My mom convinced me to cut my hair ‘like Demi Moore in Ghost.'”

My mom cut & styled my hair for picture day. I never let her touch my hair ever since. #mullet #90s #texas
