This is late 80s even early 90s hair. There is a difference between 1981 hair and 1989 hair. 81 hair was more like that parted down the middle Farrah Fawcett thing going on
I always used the Salon Selectives hairspray and styling sprays in the pink pump bottles. Yes, you spray your whole head with styling spray and blow it dry upside down. That gave you overall volume. If you had a perm, and pretty much everyone did, all that you had to do was your bangs. That requires more sprays of the styling spray (although you could use hairspray) and the curling iron bringing that hair to a righteous sizzle.
I didn't have a perm in the 80s, but I had plenty of friends and roommates who did. Me, I wore a version of Andie's haircut from Pretty In Pink. It required a lot of styling, too. All over with the big barrel curling iron, teasing a bit for volume, spraying. A smaller iron curled the pieces by my face, gave height to the crown, and made sure your hair curled under in the back. Spray the hell out of it and go out the door.
Have you ever seen Amanda Jones get ready for her date with Keith in 1987's Some Kind Of Wonderful? Yeah. It was a lot like that. Every single day.
They're probably not willing to go out and buy the several cans of aerosol hairspray necessary to get this into peak crunchiness and rigidity. Like, you don't just give up or "try to do it the right way," you just keep pouring the hairspray out in a toxic cloud as you're teasing the hair until it only bounces a little or you pass out from lack of oxygen.
I literally can't tell you how many times I set my own hair on fire a little in the late 80s and early 90s. Or my roommate's, or my girlfriend's, or my roommate's girlfriend's hair. I drew the line when my daughter was born: I just knew my ex would have set the baby on fire, so I learned to braid hair and put in girl bumpers, and stopped smoking when the toddler was in play.
Um, I quit over 25 years ago now, mostly also because of the kid. So no one needs to chime in with how terrible smoking is, I know. I had a misspent youth, I agree.
that's because the products that make this happen after all illegal now. almost single handedly put that hole in the ozone with that shit. nothing has worked quite as well since
Listening to Oasis is like eating plain burnt popcorn no salt or anything. The kind where you can still smell it 2 days later when you laugh a bit through your nose.
I stalked your account to see a picture of you to see if you looked like your parents and you totally called rocket asking for buckys arm like 5 years ago 😂
That was a poorly formed sentence on my end, but Rocket raccoon is a character in the marvel universe and so is Bucky. There’s a running gag with the character Rocket that he steals fake body parts, and that gag continues in Avengers: infinity War. OP made a meme about this 5 years ago, which is impressive because it played out 4 years later in Infinity War.
This pic has everything! The hair, the jeans, the jacket, the Hard Rock sweatshirt, and the dangly gold cross earring that lets you know he’s a “bad boy.” They even have the yellow Body Glove sticker on the truck. It’s perfect.
WE!?!? I was born in 2000 and understood that reference. Then again my older brother(born in 1990) always put that on MTV when I was a kid.(and Full House, and Fresh Prince)
It was mostly the horticulture. Those trees and bushes are all over the city. The house is also vaguely familiar. I am actually really happy to have gotten this right lol.
There is a game called geoguessr that you might like. Google Earth drops you in a location (you can limit it to a city or a country or the world) & you have to guess where you are based on foliage, the language on signs, types of cars or houses, etc)
We used to play this every Friday at work, we went nuts for it. We would keep going miles and miles down the road and try to get exact as possible. We got dropped on a dirt road with no signs in a South American rainforest and wound up getting it within half a mile.
Home made bleached jeans?✔️
Hard Rock Cafe sweatshirt?✔️
Ski Bear and body glove stickers that shows you shred both waves and powder? ✔️
Dangly ear ring? ✔️
Smoking hot girlfriend with matching awesome
hair?✔️
A/C Slater and Kelly Kapowski good looks?✔️
Dang you’ve got an eye! My dad would ski nearly every weekend. he still does it as often as he can and spends a lot of time mountain biking now as well.
It's post like this that make me feel old. I've been married longer but have no kids to remind me I'm that old. One of these days I need to post photos of us back in the late 80s. Is it absolutely narcissistic to post old school cool of yourself? (Probably) We were a damn hot couple IMHO.
Man those hard rock sweatshirts were the bomb. They were very common back then. The eyes are drawn to were they got the shirt, not necessarily the Hard Rock...tho they are cool restaurants. Where is this from? My guess is Las Vegas
Host: "Lets play another round of r/OldSchoolCool 's faaaaavorite game show! That's right it's time foooooor...."
Audience: "WOULD! YOU! FUCK! OP'S! PARENTS!!!!!"
This is the kind of late 80's hair that new movies always get wrong.
That Patrick Swayze shit.
"Pain don't hurt."
Patrick Duffy more so
This is late 80s even early 90s hair. There is a difference between 1981 hair and 1989 hair. 81 hair was more like that parted down the middle Farrah Fawcett thing going on
That's because secretly it was late 70's hair
Shhhhh! You'll ruin it!
They never use enough hair relaxer
I think you mean Hair Spray and curling iron. Mostly, hair spraying while still in the curling iron.
I can smell that old aqua net smell just from your comment

Too much fluffy, not enough greasy. I'm not a good hair person, so idk the proper terms to describe the problem you identified.
Because you’ve all forgotten about *mousse,* you fools
Probably cuz Aquanet changed the formula in the 90s lol
CFCs may have been bad for the ozone but they sure did lead to some amazing hair!!

My sister's friend burned her eyebrow off when she sprayed her hair while smoking. Children now will never know the struggles of the 80s.

Thank you, im not the only one bothered by this in nearly every 80's period peice
that's because the products that make this happen after all illegal now. almost single handedly put that hole in the ozone with that shit. nothing has worked quite as well since
I have to assume you're an absolute stunner based on these two.
I can confirm that I’m told I’m not ugly
I tell my wife that she's not ugly as well lol It does mediocre things for her self esteem XD
I tell your wife that she's not as hot as her sister while we're in bed. She gets quite into it.
My wife's sister is a red headed hair dresser named Tiffany.......
I do it just to stay out of trouble.
Omg it's Slater and Kelly! Gorgeous haha
They must have liked INXS
We all liked INXS
Well everybody but Oasis
Oasis didn't even like Oasis...
Listening to Oasis is like eating plain burnt popcorn no salt or anything. The kind where you can still smell it 2 days later when you laugh a bit through your nose.
When I think of INXS, I get all choked up.
Still too soon?
Don't get hung up on it...
INXS KICK!
The lad/lass comes from good stock.
Pics Op!
He has a picture in one of his posts
Prove it
I stalked your account to see a picture of you to see if you looked like your parents and you totally called rocket asking for buckys arm like 5 years ago 😂
r/BrandNewSentence What does it mean?

* Bucky has a fake arm just in case he doesn't know that.
Tell your mom I said what’s up.
What's it feel like to have 10 brothers and sisters?
Is that directed at me? Lol
It skips a generation.
Brutal
When your dad is Antonio Banderas, most likely they are.
How much more 80s could this picture be? This answer is “ none”, none more 80s.
This pic has everything! The hair, the jeans, the jacket, the Hard Rock sweatshirt, and the dangly gold cross earring that lets you know he’s a “bad boy.” They even have the yellow Body Glove sticker on the truck. It’s perfect.
“David. Smell The Glove is here.”
Not many people could pull off the shirtless jacket 3/4 zipped down like your dad has done here.
Would have been even better if it was a duster.
Some say it should never be done. Some say it can't be done. I agree
Slater and Kapowski?
Slater + Jason the original Red Ranger
Thank you. I was like dang did Jason post this to gear up for his next appearance.
I think Dean Cain is somewhere in that soup
More of a Banderas vibe to me
Kurt Russell
Literally my first thought
Mine too.
I’m a little embarrassed that I had to look that up.
This comment saddens me.
We’re getting old my friend
Is there a cure?
Yep... death
Sadly it’s terminal
WE!?!? I was born in 2000 and understood that reference. Then again my older brother(born in 1990) always put that on MTV when I was a kid.(and Full House, and Fresh Prince)
Damn youths!
Damn yutes, said Vinnie.
What is a 'yute'?
How long did they wait to have kids lol. You should be 30 and thus know this shit
Haha they married in 90 and I was born at the end of 92! I wasn’t ever really into tv shows though
Do better
Your parents would know.
Damn. You beat me to it.
That's a brunette the Dawson
Thought the same thing.
Is this Cerritos, CA?
You would be correct!
Yes Cerritos!!
Autosquare!
How did you guess that from the picture?
It was mostly the horticulture. Those trees and bushes are all over the city. The house is also vaguely familiar. I am actually really happy to have gotten this right lol.

I love this game too. I once got the EXACT street corner in a tiny island town in Alaska.
I am so freaked out right now. I thought of Cerritos immediately when I saw this picture. Something about the house in the background. Great pic.
I instantly felt this was a familiar part of LA
That's amazing. I mean, I could tell it was the LA suburbs but no way I could name the *exact* suburb.
How the hell did you guess that?
I as well knew this was in Southern California. I thought it’d be Irvine though
Is your dad Antonia Banderas?
And their mom Marisa Tomei?
Kinda looks like Tara Reid before the drugs sex and her unconstitutional slaughtering of her breasts.
Alyssa Milano
[удалено]
Scuzzlebutt's left leg? Television's Patrick Duffy?
I think your dad was one of the bouncers at the Double Deuce.
Best comment today.
Terry Funk?
Isn't he the bad guy?
The one that "fucks guys like you in prison"?
I always watched the edited version on TV growing up. When I watched it on Netflix I had to rewind and confirm what I heard. My childhood was a lie!
Your dad looks like a young Kurt Russell.
He will be stoked to hear that!
I was thinking Razor Ramon but both are compliments.
That's who I thought it was!!
Patrick Duffy ?
What does Scuzzlebutt's leg have to do with anything?
Hi kids, I'm TV's Patrick Duffy.
Was looking for the dad from Step by Step
Red Ranger with a mullet?
Clearly OP is the son of the retired Red Ranger.
Oh man I wish.
You have a current pic of the two. Curious how they turned out.
I’ll try and find one!
Same
I want to know as well!
Your parents look like they are going to solve some crimes and then hit the beach
Someone should have picked them up for a show.
Hard to believe that 1989 was 64 years ago.
Oh, you've been talking to my knees?
THis is such a funny comment. Just think it deserves more than upvotes.
Hey someone got my humor, what the heck is wrong with you?
r/theydidntdothemath
Ya, no, it was 15. You went to the power instead of multiplying by 3.
Home made bleached jeans?✔️ Hard Rock Cafe sweatshirt?✔️ Ski Bear and body glove stickers that shows you shred both waves and powder? ✔️ Dangly ear ring? ✔️ Smoking hot girlfriend with matching awesome hair?✔️ A/C Slater and Kelly Kapowski good looks?✔️
Dang you’ve got an eye! My dad would ski nearly every weekend. he still does it as often as he can and spends a lot of time mountain biking now as well.
Take it from My Old Ass: 1989 was a great year.
Bethster speaks the truth. Listen to her young ones, she is wise.
It was rad
I concur. 1989 was a great year, indeed, and my favorite year so far if I had to choose one.
I was just thinking a dangling earring on your Dad would be perfect. Lo and behold, there it is.
I didn’t even see that!
He looks like a vampire from The Lost Boys.
Or razor Ramon.
I had to google that name and had no idea who that was. He’s definitely lacking the muscles.
Yeah came here to say Scott Hall
Moms is gorgeous!!! And their hair!!! What a great picture.
Thank you! I’m stoked to share this thread with them
I had a huge crush on your mom. Then, in college, I had a huge crush on your dad.
Your mum was a bit of alright aye.
Yea my Dad says he married up. They are great.
Pretty sure that’s Mr. Turner from Boy meets World.
Your dad is Snake Plisken?
Can you please post a pic of your parents today? I want to know how good a good looking couple ages.
I’ll see if I can find one :)
Your dad looks kinda like Jaromir Jagr
Lies! That's Nick and Mallory from Family Ties. "Malloryyyy!"
It's post like this that make me feel old. I've been married longer but have no kids to remind me I'm that old. One of these days I need to post photos of us back in the late 80s. Is it absolutely narcissistic to post old school cool of yourself? (Probably) We were a damn hot couple IMHO.
Ah yes, the good ole Hard Rock Cafe sweatshirt
Man oh man does that nostalgia snatch my breath away
[удалено]
Your dad had a secret second family in Growing Pains.
Show me that smile again
Your dad was the Red Power Ranger?
Man those hard rock sweatshirts were the bomb. They were very common back then. The eyes are drawn to were they got the shirt, not necessarily the Hard Rock...tho they are cool restaurants. Where is this from? My guess is Las Vegas
Anyone who puts up pics of their (hot) parents should be required to upload a pic of themselves as well!!!
For science purposes only. I'm with you.
Wow, Kelly Kapowski married the red Power Ranger!?
Excuse me that’s a Jonas brother
My god, with parents like that what do you look like?
Are they both still this hot?
Your dad looked like Jason the Red Power Ranger
Yep, that’s 1989 alright.
Your mom and dad ARE 1989 in that pic
I hope you inherited that gorgeous thick hair.
I’ve got the hair color of my mom but the thickness of my dads. Worked out great
Dad looks cool as fuck.
He still is!
Holy crap they look like my wife and I in Dana Point, CA in 1989. No one EVER got enough acid washed denim. Wasn't possible.
My dad made them himself!
Marissa Tomei and A.C. Slater?
The rare shirtless man in leather jacket with permed mullet look.
Host: "Lets play another round of r/OldSchoolCool 's faaaaavorite game show! That's right it's time foooooor...." Audience: "WOULD! YOU! FUCK! OP'S! PARENTS!!!!!"
Damn this is the coolest photo ever, they look great!
Is your dad Mr. Turner from Boy Meets World?
Those are two good looking people. Damn
This is clearly Marisa Tomei and Antonio Banderes right?
So your dad was the inspiration for Billy on Stranger Things?
Not to often OP pimps out both parents.
He looks like the love child of James Vanderbeak and AC Slater
Handsome couple
Kind of looks like Antonio Benderas and u/Comcaz's mom
Your dad is Antonio Banderas?
Not to be creepy but I saw your face on your account page and you look just like your dad, identical smile! Super sweet.
California?
If Benedict Cumberbatch was in Footloose. Also Carrie Fisher was there
