36 Photos of '80s Hairstyles That Resemble Bird Nests

Women are still facing immense pressure to conform to certain beauty standards, particularly when it comes to their hair. Unlike men who can easily show up to work with messy bedhead, women are often expected to spend hours perfecting their hair or risk being judged.

Interestingly, in the past, women would actually spend hours creating elaborate and unique hairstyles that were considered "weird" by societal standards. The iconic "beehive" haircut, for example, required women to tease their hair into a towering mound, while the 1980s brought about the trend of the bird nest hairstyle, which resembled a messy, tangled nest.

The 36 pictures of '80s hairstyles featured in the article showcase a variety of bold and eccentric looks that required copious amounts of hairspray to achieve. From gravity-defying spikes to intricate curls and waves, these hairstyles were truly works of art that pushed the boundaries of traditional beauty standards.
