The Worst Haircuts Of the 80´s

Posted on 27. Mar, 2010 by Mike in Memories, Music

As the 80´s music is so in vogue at the moment I thought I´d look back at the haircuts of the time, there were some awful mistakes going on with the New Romantics and Synth-pop stars of the day.
Here is my list of the worst; I´d like to hear of any I´ve missed.

Number 1, A Flock Of Seagulls, Mike Score.

You won’t be surprised to learn that Mike was a former hairdresser-enough said! You may be pleased to hear Mike now has a shaven head-sweet justice.
Then

Now

Number 2 , Kajagoogoo´s Limahl.

It looks like Limahl has had a flock of seagulls flying overhead! This haircut seemed to be a Never Ending Story with Limahl as he used to don a wig in this style when he was doing Pa´s in the early 90´s. Now the original band are back together he has gone for a more grown up look.
Then

Now

Number 3, Howard Jones.

Howard Jones used to have this weird guy dancing round him with chains and a painted bald head doing an impression of a bad mime artist. I don’t know about a New Song I think a new haircut would have made a better act.
Then

Now

Number 4, Bananarma

Bananarama, always looked like they had been dragged through a corn field backwards. They didn’t look very ladylike at the beginning of their career, but time has treated them well; they look gorgeous and glamorous today and scored a number 44 hit single this year with Love Comes.
Then

Now

Number 5, Tik & Tok

Tik & Tok started off as a mime dance group as Shock, then made their own music under the name Tik & Tok. They were more famous for their robotic dancing in the early 80´s than their music and even appeared in the Star Wars film Return Of The Jedi .They also supported Gary Numan on his Warriors tour.
Then

Now

It´s interesting to note that all these artists are still working today and releasing new material, must be something in the hair!
