How do you style hair for an 80's look?

Question

I want hair like john mayer or david henrey. They have a spiked 80's hair look. I know its spiked up in the front, but it has to be more than that, because when i spike my hair with just gel it looks different, kinda crappy. please let me know.

Answer 1

go to the salon and tell them that you want the "flock of seagulls" haircut. the girls will swoon, i promise.

Answer 2

I would probably get one of those "Farrah Fawcett" hairstyles which were popular on girls when I was in high school in the mid-80's. She set the style for an entire generation of mall-chicks. Here is a typical page from my high school yearbook (1986). Actually, both boys and girls tended to have the same style!
