You were there!!!!

yes i was! my mom used aqua net like she was trying to choke us. i often wonder what the lasting effects of breathing that stuff in are. but in middle school i used to do my bangs like a wave. i would pull them up and over, hold in place and spray baby spray! it kind of reminds me of the poofs the girls do now! lol

Mid-late 90s for dance comps, when we did french braids or really tight buns, I was DOWSED in aqua net. We still have a travel-sized can of that toxic chemical in my house..

Love it! I'm no longer "doing my hair" for comp. From now on I'm "putting my fierce hat on".

Absolutely. It should be in the anthem.

I love this thread... because on that first day in the fall when you feel that crisp air, when you want to look fab and break out the sweater and boots, you just want your hair to suffer from a brutal case of fierceness. My hair is fierce- mom fierce that is Thanks ladies!!

@John Butler Gabi has the most beautiful curls in the pictures you posted! I don't know what thread it was in, but I remember being starstruck...yes, by hair.

Haha, thanks ladies. I can't take any credit, I only documented what my wife does... LOL. Here's a pic of the results...
Hopefully they aren't private so everyone can see them...

Cali Small Senior does curls and then teases each curl individually.

I know I wasn't on F5, but this was my hair for one of our first competitions. I washed my hair the night before and used my natural curl as a guide for my cheer curls. I sprayed it with either Paul Mitchell's Hot off the Press or Redken's Hot Sets. and used a 1/2 inch curling iron and sprayed with Paul Mitchell's Extra Body Hair Spray.
For our last competition, I added in my extensions to add some volume, it looked fab-u-lous. Too bad I lost my picture
Btw, the reason the pony tail curls look different from the non-pony tail curls is because I didn't curl them. @princessmackenzie finished my hair at the convention center because I had taken too long to curl her volumous, lucious, thick, ethnic hair. lol

it was 1/4 inch, not 1/2

 

[princessmackenzie]

it was 1/4 inch, not 1/2

wasnt it? lol i forget nvm

 

[Mamarazzi]

There's a pic somewhere of a blonde Twister with the most perfectly pageant, 80s, Dallas curls I've ever seen in my life...If someone remembers where it is...
And I want her mom/stylist's step-by-step, detailed instructions for that utter perfection.
