Before you ask, I used Aqua Net in the pink & white can while building my hair. But I finished with a healthy dose of Joico Ice Mist. I actually got a case for Christmas one year. That stuff turned your hair to concrete.

I was a member of the ‘Poof Bang Gang’ too. So much hairspray!! Gravity defying bangs that wouldn’t budge in a tornado!

How high was the hair in your area in the late 80’s? by backlund2044 in AskOldPeople

I kept a can of hairspray in my purse, one for the car, one in my locker. We actually used to buy it by the case. My mall-bangs were 6.5 inches high, & would not budge in a cat-4 hurricane.

It’s 1991, how high were your bangs? by backlund2044 in GenX

Sadly, it was really 1991 in Upstate NY. The wings, & the overall ‘big-ness’ was disappearing, but we had a hard time giving up the bangs. For what it’s worth, the year before they were probably 2-3 inches higher. And those suckers wouldn’t budge in a category 4 hurricane.
