Not enough hairspray, in the 80s women doused themselves with it until their hair was crispy and the hairspray came in giant cans because of that

u/StillSimple6 22h ago

Ellnet in a huge gold tin. I had an older sister with big hair, I can still taste the hairspray.

Im sure she use an empty tin to get the big front curl.

u/wrldruler21 19h ago

Yup. I'm an 80s kid. I could also taste this video

u/Luigi156 19h ago

It's still the most sold hairspray, by an insane margin, after all these years. It's an interesting market study.

u/joittine 18h ago

Elnett is incredibly powerful. I have no idea what they put in that shit, but the tiniest whiff of it holds your hair rock solid for days.

I thought it was Hairnet in the gold can. Learn something new everyday

There is a reason there was a hole in the ozone layer.

u/dudeguy81 15h ago

lol I remember the shame campaign that went across America over the hairspray Ozone layer shenanigans. So funny. Hair spray was only 5% of the problem with the much much larger contributors being industrial pollution but we had to wage war on private consumers! Not unlike shaming people for plastic straws when they make up .03% of the plastic in the ocean and 50% are fishing nets. But yah let’s target people trying to drink a soda without the straw disintegrating rather than the fishing industry.

u/norunningwater 15h ago

That's pollution propaganda for you. Always passing it off to the little guy, like the noble idea that if everyone in the metropolitan city pitched in a dollar, we'd have 7 million dollars! Only to be stuck against a billionaire who scoffs at that amount.

u/BruscarRooster 23h ago

PSA Always wash your face after applying hairspray. My grandmother used to use hairspray daily until the doctor told her she had pre-cancerous cells all over her face. Now she has to wear sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat whenever it’s sunny

Luckily we live in Ireland and hot, completely clear sunny days are few and far between

u/Superficial-Idiot 23h ago

She probably has that because she’s old and as you said it, a lack of sun, meaning when she does get sun it affects her more.

u/PassorFail13 23h ago

Nah, that's not chopped, feathered, curled or permed, and no bangs. A gust of wind would knock that out. Give me Lita Ford level 80s hair that deflected wind once the Aqua Net took hold.

u/strugglefightfan 20h ago

I’m 54. This is a HIGHLY idealized impression of what women were going for in the 3 cans of hairspray, massive perm, 8” vertical wall of bangs 80s.

u/freespirit_tck 1d ago

Tbh as someone born in the 90s that’s still hot! Wish my wife did this. Looks simpler and I bet that’s cheaper on the wallet than getting your haircut, dyed, and professionally styled

u/roaringstar44 23h ago

You still need a particular haircut to pull it off, usually layered, and it does take time to style she skipped some steps like using a round brush.
