What my hair shelf probably looked like. 
I love seeing kids, young adults showing interest in anything retro - music, clothes, decor, etc. Sometimes seems to be almost cyclic in nature. Almost happened with hair and hairstyles. I remember the stiff, “bouffant” hair do’s of the 60’s. My mom wore her hair like that for I don’t know how long. Then, the 70’s arrived and hair changed, and so did how we took care of it. Natural hairstyles took over, with emphasis on things like being bouncy, shiny, healthy looking. The late 60’s long, flowing hair was still in but so were shorter styles like the wedge thanks to Dorothy Hamill, the mullet (I can’t believe we liked that) and “feathered” bangs and layers. So many girls and young women wanting that Farrah Fawcett look. As I said, my mom was still in the “stiff style” mode, and I was the oldest so it was so hard for me to get any new styles right, but I tried. I got the first blow dryer and curling iron of the house. I finally started getting the hang of it when I was about 14. And the shampoos and hair products we used changed too. We became more environmentally conscientious. Shampoos like Prell took a back seat to ones like Herbal Essence, Lemon Up…even Breck took notice and revised their products and ads. Conditioners were “in” too - I remember Tame. Faberge Organics was popular as was Wella Balsam (thanks to Farrah), Sunset Harvest Shampoos, and Body on Tap (beer WAS an ingredient). Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific (I LOVED that shampoo) was questionable but it smelled so damn good we bought it up like crazy! Oh, and dry shampoos emerged too with names like “Psssst”. However, as the 80’s arrived we saw the natural looking styles take a back seat again to the stiffer, product laden hair styles. Perms we all the rage. And the products we used often made our hair look like it was still somewhat wet. I relied on products like Paul Mitchell’s Freeze and Shine and another one sold in drugstores called Stiff Stuff. Yeah, my hairstyle would hold up in a hurricane. Nowadays it seems that natural looks and stiff looks co-exist, side by side. But we learned no matter how you wore your hair, keeping it healthy was of the utmost importance and heaven knows there’s a plethora of products out there to make sure we do.
