I'm sure most of you keep it short to hide your baldness or have some lame shaggy look with accompanying scruffy facial hair. A few of you may have long hippyish hair and pretend its the 60s. But there was a time when we aspired to something more. Lots of hairspray to keep our hair in place, long in the front and yet cut short over the ears. While I don't have the statistics on hand to prove it, we can all agree we were getting laid a lot more in that era. The ladies loved it and we need to bring it back. Observe, take notes and get ready for the comeback...

Not sure I agree we were all getting laid a lot more then...

From memory, this "era" co-incided with the outbreak of AIDS - and, no doubt, the haircuts were a way of preventing its spread

Anyway, here's some more silly hair...

I personally preferred the suitably pharmaceutically glazed over and fulsome fringe approach.

This hair CAUSED aids, Prick. Just way too much lovin' going on.

The Human League guy kinda freaks me out. Not as much as the Dexy's Midnight Runner guy after he went solo but still...

Now these guys had GREAT hair

Yeah, Bryan Ferry isn't looking so good in that video. Nice mustache though.

I wonder what Visage's makeup budget was for that video?

Johnny Depp is already making a nice living copying this look
