The '10' Bo Derek braided hairstyle in high demand in 1979

In December 1979, the "10" hairstyle was all the rage. The image of Bo Derek running on the beach in the movie "10," braids flowing, inspired women everywhere to achieve the look. They had to have a lot of time on their hands as the process took four to eight hours to complete. It wasn't cheap either - $25 to $50 an hour.

Customer Brenda told News 8 it was worth it because she could wash it and let it go. Some opted for a modified version.

Wonder what our reporter Paula Zahn would have looked like with the "10" 'do... no reporter involvement there.

Nobody gonna mention that black lady or blasian lady actually sitting there at that white salon letting this woman braid her hair? They must’ve paid her to make an appearance

This is what they do. Always. This white woman got credit for creating the hairstyle. At the time white women were praised for it and black women were sent home and even fired for it!!!!

Bo Derek was the most gorgeous, natural and truly a "10". Blake Edwards was lucky when she walked in the door. She looked better in those cornrows, than anyone/everyone. "10".

Why the hell is she braiding like that? She’s gonna rip that woman’s hair out. You’re not suppose to pull like that
