You don’t see much of this style these days. Little wispy bangs curled and spiraled like a double helix. Those of you in your 40s may also recall the curse of the add-a-bead necklace back in the day: one was supposed to wear it UNDER the collar, but like Bad Bangs shows us here, it would often pop out from under the collar.
I’m pretty sure this is Pam Dawber during her Mork and Mindy days, but that has not been confirmed. In any event, she is distracting from her two bang pieces with this horizontal stripe (probably boatneck).
This next lady looks pretty self-satisfied, having shoved her curled partial bang off to the side of her forehead, where it will not interfere with activities of daily living.
Each of these lovely ladies can console themselves that they were not donning the Dorothy Hamill cut, so popular in 1976, a full SIX YEARS PRIOR. Poor Paula cannot say the same.
Way to keep the 70s in the 80s, Paula.



not a fan of Paula’s ‘do, but am all over those bangs. Cute!

Oh Paula what were you thinking? That do must be the craziest hair style of the last 200 years. It always reminds be of Prince Valiant.

Bangs are cute. These just look little S curves coming out of their foreheads. But who cares with a pretty face, right?

😀 Yeah, I’m thinking a pair of bright eyes are gonna totally distract ya from a set of bangs, no matter how bad or good. 😀

Over here, the Hamill cut is achieved by placing a rice bowl over the girl’s head and cutting anything that shows.

You must have so many vixens bewitching you with that style. I believe my mother-in-law used that tactics on her sons to keep them pure through high school. It worked.
