Do you remember the smell of your favorite hairspray? As a child of the 1980s and early 1990s, the smell of Rave and Aqua Net bring back horrible images of gigantic, crunchy bangs. You know, the kind that wouldn?t budge for 3 days if you were walking through 80 mph winds in a rainstorm. My mom called my bangs ?The Claw,? and, unfortunately has many photographs to prove how unflattering and ridiculous the hairstyle was. But, oh, on school picture day, how the girls? bathroom smelled like Rave. We?d be lined up in a row, much like a firing squad, only our weapons were a can of aerosol hairspray in one hand and a pick in the other. Teasing our bangs until they stood up on end, we would have competitions to see who could get their bangs off of their forehead the highest. What was your spray of choice and how high was the highest hair in your school!?
I was a little young for that style. The big bangs pretty much went out by the time I got to middle school.
I did have a perm though! And I used whatever my mom bought me. Usually Aqua Net because it was cheap.
I was a little young for that trend as well. I'd say that was 5 years too early for me.
OMG, I remember that! LMAO! It was like a cloud that would eminate into the hallway when someone opened the door!
Quoting JasonsMom2007:I was a little young for that trend as well. I'd say that was 5 years too early for me.
I used one that smelled like apples. I cannot think of the brand though...
ETA: I went to find the name of that hairspray and came across this
