Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Seems like it was too early to file looks from the 1980s under 'fashion graveyard:' first, leggings came back in style, then bold shoulder jackets abounded on the runways, and now freshly named British Hairdresser of the Year, Akin Konizi, says the main hair trend for this winter is the style from that decade. Here's how to achieve the look.

Inspiration - These hairstyles seem proof of why we initially buried 1980s hair but don't despair: the following tutorials will show you how to update the looks, using pictures like these as mere inspiration.

Big 1980s hair - Waves, perms, crimps, and curls: you name it, this vlogger shows you how to get it, with a 2010 twist.

'Mall hair' - "You too can look like an extra in Heathers," says Fuzzy Blue Logic who created this 'triumphant' and 'authentic' hairstyle.

Quick & easy - Most 1980s hairstyles are very time-consuming to create, but The Coveted has a look that takes only two minutes. No perm, no teasing, and almost no products involved.

Fauxhawk - For the very daring: MissChievous talks you through creating a punkish mohawk look.
