1960s hair style was just stylish whether it was long, straight, surly or fuzzy hair the main attention was paid to getting just the best and right look.

Although there was more flexibility in length even then hair styles were controlled. In early sixties the style of hairs were touching the shoulders and flipping up with a hat.

After this hat fashion the bubble came into fashion known as the bouffant hairstyle. In this the hair was clipped shorter on the bottom and became longer as worked way up. The longest section of the hair was in the crown and the top area for height.

For having long hair this bubble style has one way to accomplish this that it was to backcomb the hair until all of the hair was like a birds nest close to the scalp. After that in the 1960s hair style the term backcomb developed a slang name known as teasing.

The sixties also ushered in the era of very short, sharply cut hair for men and women. This era showed that short hair could still be very wonderfully cut and styled, and some women favored cuts that were formerly reserved for young boys.

The 1960's hairstyles also saw the use of larger rollers to create hair that was extended away from the face, either in a large gentle curve, or a series of curls that began below the ears. Large rollers took the place of tight rag curls, and this elegant breezy style was considered quite glamorous.

During the 1960s, younger women also experimented with leaving their hair long and loose, with bangs that were straight cut across their forehead.

Girls of this era would get the curls and kinks out of their hair by ironing it straight, resulting in the long, sleek and lovely locks that we soften associate with this era.

If you are curious about trying to iron your hair and getting the wonderfully sleek fall of hair that was so common in the sixties, all you need is an iron.

You can simply wet your hair and put it on the ironing board underneath a towel; this will protect your hair even while heat is being applied and it will allow you to skip the split ends that were such a problem with straight ironing and enjoy 1960’s hairstyles.
