Get ready for the best throwback you'll see all week, because we're traveling way, way back to the 1980s -- a glorious decade of innovations when Walkmans let us listen to our fave mix tapes on the go, Nintendos let us play in virtual worlds and our steady supply of Aqua Net let us craft supervolumized '80s hair that defied the laws of physics.

Yep, '80s hair embodied the #BigHairDontCare spirit long before hashtags were even a thing. It was a time of gloriously over-teased locks, larger-than-life bangs and enough curls and crimp-age to, like, totally dwarf a human head into pea-size proportions. And, lucky for us, despite the lack of social media back in the day, pics of the most epic '80s hair are alive and well on the internet. Here, 19 of the most awesomely outrageous '80s hair shots we could find.
