[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watch an 80s movie or TV show and marvel at the big, often frizzy hair that was acceptable and even desired back then.[/quote]

But, but ... Molly Ringwald's hair!  No, I know what you're saying. But those girls had perms and teased out their hair and then hairsprayed it to death. I feel certain it felt disgusting to touch. [/quote]

Women were washing their hair pretty much every day then. (That started in the 70s.) In fact, [b]hair that was flat instead of full and big was thought to look, and actually be, dirty.

Years ago, when my daughter and her friends started straightening their hair, I wondered why they wanted their hair to look flat, and thus, dirty. [/b]

Styles change. It wouldn’t be surprising if big hair becomes a thing again in our lifetimes.

Yes, dirty or "lank." What was undesirable became the norm.

Straight hair is the norm in humans. Curly/frizzy is the outlier, due to the hair being misshapen and not cylindrical but having flat sides. [/quote]

Straight hair is not the norm in humans.

Most babies have at least a little curl, even white babies.[/quote]
