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 guess my bad hair days were from the early 80's!!! I've always had the same 'style'; no bangs, straight and long(ish). However......I did the crimped look for a while and then there was a time (about 14-15yrs old) when I did two little pony tails near the top of my head. Just some wispy one, the rest of the hair hung straight. Oh, and there was the time of quiffing the top up- like this: http://www.hype66.com/hairstyles/2005/2.jpg

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.
