Today I'd like to give a shout out to hair's most misunderstood trend.
A trend we all participated in, though we all would prefer to deny it now. A trent that any one of us could go into the bathroom right at this
exact second and recreate....but we pretend like we couldn't remember if we tried. This is a trend that could very well go down in follicle infamy.
Yes...I'm talking about....
The Mall Bangs.
 |
| I'll bet these two were BFF's. They called each other every day on their see-through light up cradle phones. |
 |
| Dude. She used the colored mousse. Very cool. I'll bet all the other girls were green with envy. |
 |
| This one is more subtle, and close to the head. A bang a mother didn't have to be ashamed of. |
 |
| This girl was only 4'11 when her hair was wet. When it was fixed, she was 6'5. |
 |
| This was sexy workout hair in the 80's. She made men want to get physical. |
 |
| OH MY GOSH! Is it twins? Oh snap. Just a mirror. Damn. Well, had it been twins, that family would have had twice the awesomeness. |
 |
| Awwww...another example of the "small big bangs". It could be done. This was what you did with your hair when you didn't want your lame dad to nag you about your hair. |
 |
| This girl looks like a cotton ball. Seriously, someone toss her a hot oil treatment. |
 |
| Ah, yes. The bang + sideburn curl. Often attempted, rarely achieved properly. |
 |
| This girl looks like a mountain peak. If you turn her around, there are mini ski lifts on the back of her head. |
 |
| Awwww....this poor girl. She was fixing her hair, got 1/2 done, and then the school bus came. She had to take her pics with flat hair on one side of her head. *SIGH* |
 |
| This girl was the whole package. The hair, the vest/turtleneck combo, the stonewashed jeans....there is a lucky man out there who snagged her, and moved her into suburbia. |
 |
| Its a miracle of modern cosmetology. Her hair is literally bigger on the top than it is down around her neck. That, my friends, is called some serious back-combing. |
You see what I mean? That is some hair worth respecting. I can literally smell aqua net in the air right now.
Happy Mall Bangs Day, everyone!
