Big hair never dies. Check out our collection of the most vertically insane hairdos, plus our imagined bios of the wearers. We've got rare specimens from the beehived '60s through the Aqua Netted '80s and beyond.Fortunately, there is hope for those suffering from large hair. Most of these people went on to live full, productive lives ... sometimes it just takes a bad-hair makeover, like these doozies featured on StyleList.

It's time to outlaw these sick, disgusting, and demeaning perversion of hairstyles. Fortunately, many schools and workplaces now ban this travesty of fashion. Keep hairstyles simple and natural.

Outlaw huh? Wow, someone really has a perverted sense of the role of law enforcement. Probably likes shaved snatches as well.......

Wow, people like you are just so jealous of people with lots of hair! LOL! I bet you're a bald-headed little man with no life, huh? Hair has always been a status symbol, and way of making a statement, power, and most of all people with lots of hair are proud that they have it and love to show it. And who are you to act like its a criminal offense to do this? Who are you to judge??!! Hair is style, hair is power, hair is wonderful! Just how much do YOU have?! LOL!!

Most of these women look like freaks. Big hair done bad is terrible. Big hair done alright looks like a mess. Big hair done well still looks good like on Katie, who's a little bit country, but then she'd look good regardless. Now Janice carries off the big hair really well. She's hot as hell in all those curls and a bit vampy. Smoldering and sexy and powerful, her hair just expresses it more. I'd love to spend the night messing and mussing it up!

You know what? Fashion is supposed to be fun. Let people wear their hair however they like. And, besides, a lot of these styles are from runway shows... and no one would wear their hair like that anyway.

I just wondered why the majority of these photos are of models? Isn't that part of fashion to have outrageous hair? I think this little flip book would have been better with real oemn sporting real hair. Hey, I live in the rural south. I see bigger hair at Wal-mart.... worn by "regular" people... if you can call them that.

You know, I have big hair, and one of the first things guys say to me is "I really like how you don't think you have to clone your self to look like every other woman. I hate how they all look the same." or "Big hair is sexy."
For you ladies who think we all need to get up at 5 AM with the flat iron, get over it! I stay true to myself, and I don't let a magazine tell me what I need to look like to get men. My judgement must not be that bad because I have never been alone. I'm happy being me.
I'm sick and tired of reading articles like this that are rude, demeaning, and outright nasty-about big hair. Like it's the equivalent of being mass murderer or a child molester. ShalI I put a sign up in my front yard? "WARNING! Big hair on Premises!"
There are a lot of worse things a person could have then big hair. They could have a spiteful, mean spirited heart like the person who thought this article was in good taste, AND went so far as to ask readers to publicly ridicule other human beings by taking their pictures and uploading them! That is just horrifying! Possibly against the law as well.
What is wrong with you? What are you going to do next? Ask people to go find people with large moles or scars on their faces and take their pictures without asking and upload those too so you can make fun of them?
You know I have to ask, what happened in YOUR life to make you feel so bad about yourself that you have to resort to making fun of others to feel good about yourself?

As a previous comment stated, why are so many of the BIG HAIRS those of the models of the runway? Or the starlets of the RED CARPET during the 80's? That's the only time the models wear it that way; and maybe a small few of the other stars of the RED CARPET. Heather Locklear, Farrah Fawcett, Susan Lucci, teeny boppers of the 80's, the singer, Jewel, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Naomi Judd, all of the female stars of the soap operas in the 80's, maybe the ladies of the Lawrence Welk Show in the 80's, I could go on and on, but that would just be saying the same thing over and over again. They aren't the BIG HAIRDOS that were worn in public; they're not indicative of the publics version of BIG HAIR. The first few were real people out in public life on a daily basis. But let's get real on this. If you want to show an old fad, use the folks from the era of the fad in the 80's, that actually wore their hair that way and you will find that most of the time it is worn only once and you'll find it only in their wedding album. A majority of the women shown were runway models and
not the non-professionals.

Of course,as usual AOL uses misleading headlines to sucker people in. Only the first couple of photos were real people. The model photos don't count because not even models wear their hair like that off the runway.
