Personally, I did not have very stylish hair in the 80′s. Half of the 80′s I had two braids like Pipi Longstocking, and the other half consisted of the ‘feathered look’, the perm, and then the perm with a claw attached. Shudder. Looking back at the 80′s through the eyes of nostalgia, cinema and music, there were some really great hair styles. Robert Smith, I love you. Also, I really loved Susan Surandon’s hair in The Hunger though I’d not the courage to go short. Not after what happened in the 90′s. Shudder. Anyway, last week, when I was trying to figure out what to do with my hair for the Complex Geometries post I decided I needed something more dramatic than the regular mop I have a the moment, and with a twist and a clip, I came up with this updo. A few of you commented how much you liked it, so I decided to share the love in a video.
It only takes a few seconds, I swear.

100% brilliant. I am SO doing this. A billion times more interesting than my ponytail.
I’m so glad you posted this! I was trying to figure out how you did it. Looks great!
Love it! I’m going to try your tip! Reminds me a bit of the asymmetrical bob that I had going for a short time during my teen years in the 80′s.
I wish I had lovely long locks like yours! Fab tip

❤capitola…ah i SO wanted the asymmetrical bob, but no one would let me. stupid people and thier opinions, they ended up suggesting a perm instead.

i tried it but it looks weird with my curly hair… it’s like a giant poof on my head!
Love the video! You did such a nice job demonstrating!
Had a fabulous comment and the net ate it. Gist was that your hair is fantastic – your voice is sweet – and I only wish I had lovely, thick, wavy hair like that to try the look. Alas.
I’ll have to try it!
