For our Two for Tuesday we're looking for the good and the bad hair stories!

What hairstyle did you wear as a teenager—or younger? Come on! You can talk about it now....even if it was something mom

I was a teenager in the 80's so I had "mall hair" the big permed & teased hair with bangs that stood up about 4 inches on top of my head. I can't believe I thought I was attractive with that mess.
I did cut my own hair when I was 4. My mom had to take me in to get a pixie cut to cover up the damage. I also had the Dorothy Hamil cut as a kid & my mom used to put a ponytail right on top of my head. I hated that.

Why not just post some hideous pics of ourselves. lol. I've always had long hair, so that's been there. I tried cutting my bangs once, I was really young, my dad called me sunshine for awhile (cuz I had no bangs, lol).
I did the 80/90's bangs sticking straight up (what was wrong with us), and in elementary school, I always had pigtails, or half-pigtails, or barettes (remember when you had ribbons on them? oh yeah, I had tons) on both sides, ohmigod, banana clips, big ribbons, need I say more? Feathered bangs, perms, teasing and Aqua Net. Yikes.
In my senior year of HS, I tried to highlight my hair, it came out all blond. I had to wear it to school for two weeks, before dying the blonde....brown. Scary. An Asian chick with blonde hair (although back then, it was kinda popular). I remember perming my hair, then perming it STRAIGHT later.........to get rid of it. lol.
But recently, I've stopped perming and coloring all of it. I highlight now, and try to take care of my hair. I think the every 3 months of highlighting kills it, so twice a year, I go with a full dye to let it grow back and not be too bad. And thankfully, most times, my hair wasn't peroxided, so that was good. :) I have bangs again, but I think I've probably had this hairstyle for 10 years.
