Brain cells and hairspray in the 1980s

I may be blonde but I was born with all my brain cells.  No really, I was.  While I have had blonde moments my entire life the alcohol in my 20’s didn’t kill any brain cells.  How do I know this?  Because I was a teenager in the 80’s and I graduated high school in 1989.  I had big permed hair that stayed in place with half a can of aerosol hairspray.  Now I didn’t use Aquanet, because that would only hold the hair during a tornado.  I used Vavoom extra-full freezing finishing spray by Matrix.  My hair could withstand a category 5 hurricane.  So, it was the hairspray that did it.  Now my hair would stay put all day once I sprayed in the morning, but I was in a hairspray fog all day.  That shit could get you high.  Now you couldn’t just style your hair and spray it with hairspray.  Nope there was teasing involved and a hairdryer to dry the hairspray.  What?  That helped hold the wings of your hair 6-12 inches away from your head.  Any time you walked into the girl’s bathroom there was a fog of hairspray.  Heck you could walk past the girl’s bathroom and get high.  Who needed drugs when there was hairspray?
