For hippies, it was a part of the counterculture - much of the youth was sick of the materialism and homogeneity of the 1950s, and rebelled by being as free-flowing as they could - including their hairstyles.
it was psychedelic, man
how did the music in the 60s change people
in the 60's the styles were amazing. Socs (rich kids) woar plad or designed shirts. Veryy classy or som like Greasers (poor kids and/ or troubled kids) woar slick back hair and leather jackets with some like flooding pants. these styles are most loikly for males in the 60s
the 60s and 70s hair is like puffy not afro but like in the middle of afro and normal. If you dont think Im right then just look up 60s and 70s on the web.
Crimped hair was not particularly popular in the 1960s; instead, the decade was known for styles like beehives, long straight hair, and bangs. The crimping trend gained prominence in the 1980s, aligning with the bold and voluminous hairstyles of that era. In the '60s, the emphasis was more on sleek, structured looks, often influenced by icons like Twiggy and the mod fashion movement.
An 'Afro' was and is a hair style popularized in the 60s and 70s by black people. The style called for fairly long hair that was teased out into a large ball shape, not unlike a dandelion puff.
It was an ad campain for Clairol hair colouring products.
Hair color and texture can change as we age due to a decrease in melanin production and changes in hair follicle structure. It is normal for hair to become more coarse and curly with age, as the number of pigment-producing cells decreases over time. This can result in darker, curlier hair in your 60s even if your hair was originally gray.
My vote's on either the psychedelic influence on music or the acceptance of guys with long hair, or in a broader sense, the acceptance of people who are as different as guys with long hair were in the '60s.
I think the beehive or "poof" top look was in in the 60's. http://hairstyletwist.com/blog/category/60s-hairstyles/
There are many radio stations that play music from the 60s. Examples of radio stations that play music from the 60s includes Live365 Internet Radio and the 60s Radio at TuneIn.
BMX bikes weren't around in the 60s.
