When did Stevie's "big hair" phase end?
 

She had big hair throughout the mid and late 80s and into 1990-91 during BTM and Timespace, but in the Clinton Inauguration in 1993, her hair is straight and flat. What was she up to in 1992? I don't think I've seen pics of her from that year.

I can't recall her mentioning specific dates in any interviews off the top of my head, but we know she was still under the influence in '91, but cleaned up in time for Street Angel in '94.

So I'm guessing much of '92-'93 was spent in rehab for the klonopin addiction...?

As far as I am aware, Stevie's performance of "Stand Back" and "Love's A Hard Game To Play" on the Arsenio Hall show on 12 November 1991 was her first public appearance with the long, straight hair. I suspect her final Timespace tour dates on 25/10 in Dallas and 31/10 & 14/11 at the Whiskey in LA would have been sporting the same look.

Well, the big hair did make periodic appearances right up through 2003...



I kinda miss it. :distress:

I would say it ended in 1991, in that one b&w Rolling Stone photo from '92 she has the straight hair with bangs like with the Clinton inauguration. But you could argue that her Street Angel-tour hair was actually the end of her big hair phase.

Does this qualify as big hair? I think it's poofy, if not exactly brobdingnag...

I think the big kinky hair from 2004 was totally hot!

PS It looks big here too! I personally like the curls and waves and kinkiness she has sometimes. The constant sleek straight hair is boring to me, and ages her a bit.

I love big hair.I'm a hair fanatic.

Stevie always has beautiful hair .

Lol yes! Who could forget this big witchy mess?!



And I agree! I hated that on the cover of TISL and SYW she had permed/curly hair, but always did public appearances with it straight! She looks so good with it curly. She looks goot with it straight too, but after seeing it a million times it gets boring as hell, so the few few times she showed up with the intense curls were great!

I always thought her hair during the Arsenio performance was a wig.

It always looked like a wig to me. You can see her wig collection, and what looks like the arsenio wig, in the infamous british magazine interview of that era.

Take a look at these old 80's photos.Look at the hair in them.

The past 15- 20 years hair look so boring compared to the 80's look.
