Women loved perms and big hair with tons of hairspray - similar to 50's and 60's hair which had to be able to withstand a hurricane, too. Men no longer wore shaggy, greasy hair and beards, but were clean-shaven - and even a mullet had to be well-styled.

Unlike the 70s with their rebellious hippie mentality, Flower Power, love and peace, a bohemian lifestyle, free love and all these new and outrageous things, the 80s mainstream returned to more conformity, if not outright squareness in looks and mentality. In "Pretty Woman" the old Roy Orbison song of the same name had a big comeback, Dirty Dancing played in the early 60s, the angel in Teen Angel came from the 50s, too. Madonna re-vived Marilyn Monroe with her "Material Girl" style, Elvis and Buddy Holly returned from the dead, too. Shoes no longer hat platforms, but returned to the graceful stiletto and kitten heels or ballerinas of the 1950s. Dresses like this or this which are very influenced by 1950's styles were quite the thing. Ray Ban Wayfarers had a big comeback, the flat top haircut for men, too.
