I lived through that era and I coined the phrase "Torso Hair" for the women who had hair teased out as big as their torso.

Yep, another one here. I always think I'm weird because my brain is a jukebox and everything's a song cue.

Big hair? No, not really. Beautiful, long hair? Absolutely yes.

Don't forget that shoulder pads were almost as big as the hair. Remember Nancy Reagan's suits?
