As someone who wasn't born yet then: so I guess while the hair looks soft here, it was anything but? I've always wondered how those hair styles felt like. Probably very unnatural and hard?

Even better: "Values in Billion Dollars".
Then you can drop both the $ and the B. And you don't end up with confusing information like "Profit: $38".

Keep in mind not everyone is American.
I know the WWE, and I have heard of the NHL. But I'm pretty sure if I would and ask people in the streets in my city here in Germany what WWE and NFL are, most people would have no idea. Especially because the NFL is less known than other American sport leagues here. Many people have probably heard of the NBA (to a large extent due to Dirk Nowitzki), and some of the NFL (due to American Football gaining popularity here). Hockey isn't popular here, so the NHL os less known. Also, "hockey" refers to field hockey in Germany. The sport of the NHL is called "ice hockey" here, so people probably wouldn't even make the "H stands for hockey" connection.

Yeah, I know how extreme those hairstyles went back then. And I know they used tons of hairspray (hole in the ozone and all that).
But you know how some things look like they would feel very different from how they actually feel? It's a bit hard to describe. But I guess those hairstyles are like that to me. I objectively know they could not have felt soft with all that product in them, but somehow they still look soft to me (well, not all, but the one in this post for example). So I guess with my comment I just wanted to confirm that they were in fact not soft, but hard (or crunchy, or whatever).
And now I feel a bit weird having written so much about 80s hair...
