16. Dreadlocks

With great cultural and religious importance, the dreadlocks have been rocked throughout the history, but their climax reached in the 80s, after their popularization by the legendary reggae musician, Bob Marley. Though the African-Americans initially wore them, in the ’80s, they became so popular that even the whites started wearing them, especially the lovers of reggae music.

You can intentionally create dreadlocks by twisting your hair to create permanent dreads, or the dreadlocks can form naturally where you leave your hair un-brushed, giving it time to tangle and matt itself.

17. Facial Hair

Today, facial hair might not be a big thing. However, in the late 70s to 80s, it was a big thing, and some styles such as mustache were highly adored.

Men in the 80s could groom and shape their facial hair, or leave it natural altogether. Sideburns, beards, and mustaches were rocked together, or singularly-it all depended on the wearer preferences.

– Mustaches- They were worn thick and full. The most prevalent style was the horseshoe cut. This style featured long hair that extended down the sides of the mouth. Fu Manchu’s mustache inspired this style.

– Sideburns- They were styled long and full, sometimes covering the entire cheekbones to connect with the beards.

– Beards- Most men rocked full beards in the 80s.

The nineties hairstyles, to some extent, defined the men’s hairstyling. Most of the 1980s hairstyles are still rocked with some updates, while others nothing has changed. Have you found your throwback hairstyle? Without a doubt, one of these hairstyles will suit you.
