1987—Red
The most popular hair trend of 1987 wasn’t a style, but rather a color. That’s right—this year marked the undisputable fashion transformation, the rise of the redhead.And no one rocked the ginger locks better or more brilliantly than The Breakfast Club star Mollie Ringwald.
This cult movie also heralded the beginning of the reign of the “Brat Pack”, the talented bunch of teens that would all go on to become mega Hollywood stars, such as Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, and Rob Lowe.
1988—Curly Bob
1988 saw the return of the fashion world’s focus on a hairdo’s size rather than substance, and no one epitomized big, bold, and glamorous hair more than soulful songstress Whitney Houston, nicknamed “The Prom Queen of Soul” or simply “The Voice”. Here she is rocking the curly bob in the way only she can.
This year saw Houston release some of her biggest hit singles of all time, such as “Where Do Broken Hearts Go”, “Love Will Save the Day”, and “I Know Him So Well”.
