If Miley’s 'Cant Be Tamed' song were to run as the background soundtrack on anything, it would be playing for this collection of big-haired beauties. From appearances in editorials to making it big on the runway, these fierce ladies can rock a ‘do.
The lioness look dominated the 1980s, and one must ask the question: has the bold style meandered its way into the haute fashion of today? Maybe it never left! Massive hair has been a timeless fashion staple, making its rounds and finding areas of acceptance in different cultural groups and circles—most recently appearing on the pages of a commercial magazine near you.
Ladies, this is not a look to be reserved for Lady Gaga. Perhaps the next time it resurfaces it will be in your bathroom mirror.
