Hair Bands
Hair bands in the 80s came in all varieties. You could find plain hair elastics and elaborate fabric & floof concoctions, and everything inbetween. Hair Bands also refers to the music genre Glam metal. I don’t think we called it “glam metal” back then, but that’s the label I found attached to the groups which came to mind as I was doing a bit of research for this post (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe, Guns N Roses, Twisted Sister, Pantera, Ratt, among others). Learn something new every day! 
Long hair, wild hair, hair everywhere! What I remember about the Hair Bands was that the musicians were fond of putting enough energy into their performances to cause their hair to whip about. Off-stage their lush locks were romance-novel-cover worthy. Rebels sending out their siren call across the radio waves and on MTV. It being Friday, and everyone being ready for the weekend, it might be fun to see which 80s Hair Band you are! My top score was Bon Jovi. A great band, even today.
