Throwback Thursday: A tribute to Big Hair of the 80s & 90s

Chattanooga (WDEF) – Nothing dates an old picture quite like hair styles.

Our Throwback Thursday feature this week pays tribute to the Big Hair days of the 1980s and 90s.

We’ve got TV hair for you.

And calendar model hair, too.

Our story comes from 1990, when reporter Kraig Ehm gets the assignment to cover a calendar model competition at the trade center.

Of course, as was his way, it turned into a farce.

The hair is big, Real big, Shockingly Big.

We also wanted to show you some hairstyles from WDEF’s past.

I promise a beard and mustache version in the future.
