There’s something truly unmatched about ’80s hairstyles. The decade was marked with big shoulders, strong colors, and bold jewelry—and the hair was no exception. It was also an era where many timeless style icons (think Princess Diana, Brooke Shields, and Sarah Jessica Parker, just to name a few) established themselves as both beauty and style icons.

When it came to hair, the styling was considered an accessory to your fashion look, not an afterthought. And then there was the focus on volume (a true bigger is better time in beauty), that involved hair spray, gel, mousse, and more. A well planned look—teased, hair-sprayed, curled or flat-ironed—could completely transform a look. Here’s some of the greatest styles from the decade to inspire you.
