When I think of the 80's I think "BIG". The 80's were the years of big everything; big hair bands, big earrings and big shoulder pads. Oversized clothes and over the top hair were seen all over.I was in high school in the mid to late 80;s and so was my husband, but we grew up in different states. I grew up in New Jersey and he grew up in Kentucky. Of course these two states are and were very different in any ways. I think in a lot of respects New Jersey was the epitome of that decade. At clubs, on the boardwalk, at the shore, in malls, Jersey girls could be seen with that big hair and those oversized earrings.Having visited Kentucky several times during the end of the decade, at least in the hair department, they seemed to be keeping up with us. The females in my husband's family did have big hair, however they all seemed to be more into the very tight perms, at least more so than my friends and family in New Jersey.I can't begin to fathom how much hairspray I must have used, probably at least a can a week. Today, if I wanted to go for that same look, I'm not sure I'd know how. Although I certainly had the oversized hair and earrings and wore my share of cosmetics, I tended to be preppie in my wardrobe.Proms and homecoming were a time to really go all out. Dresses were in every color of the rainbow. Dye able shoes were quite popular because you of course needed your shoes to match your dress. If you were going to wear a teal dress chances were pretty good you were going to need shoes dyed teal to match.There were so many fads, parachute pants, leggings and stirrup pants were just a few interesting options. Sweat shirts were oversized and off the shoulder. Leg warmers were another fabulous fashion trend of the 80's, although I never personally got into them. My oldest daughter dressed up as an 80's girl for Halloween and called the clothes "vintage". It was hard to believe that the things I wore in high school were now considered "vintage". Can you imagine?The 80's will always bring back fond memories for me with all of the big hair, fashion and bands. Even if my daughter thinks the 80's look is "vintage", it was a truly a great time!The years during the 80's that we have left behind are now a simple memory. Still, every year, the memory is kept alive among the many themed occasions, merry making and Halloween costumes.Here are some of the guidelines on how you can create the ideal 80's wig and costume:Firstly, before you jump into making that perfect and original 80's outfit, you have to orient yourself with the well-known fashion statements and designs during that era. Research and watch pictures and videos during the 80's. Famous stars like Madonna and Cyndi Lauper are the icons that might move you in choosing the best 80's wigs and costumes. The development of the style and manner of clothing has completely evolve over the many years since the 80's yet, the latter is still identified by its loud and bright, psychedelic colors and wild designs.Secondly, apart from the cool and crazy style that made the years of the 80's hard to forget is the onset of bold, permed, big and frizzled hairstyles. Nobody will halt you from styling your hair that way but I suggest that you'd rather buy an 80's wig before your hair gets damaged and split ends due to the chemicals used to style it the 80's way.There are a lot of pre-styled wigs that you can choose and buy. But if you want to look like someone from the past, then you should make sure that you buy the wig that has bangs, and some other features mentioned above of an 80's wig. Avoid buying wigs that are too curly or brightly colored.You can also make your own 80's hairstyle by utilizing the web and checking online videos that will expound and teach you the proper ways on how you will be able to achieve that perfect 80's driven façade.
