The 1960s flip hairstyle was a popular fashion statement for that decade. Women with shoulder length hair could easily curl the ends up and out for a fun and sassy look. The early 60s brought about the bouffant which could be incorporated into this style as we see here in this photograph taken in about 1968. An off center part gives way to a bang-less forehead. The top back portion is back combed and smoothed over to add lift and fullness. For how to information on how they got that bouffant, check out that link.

Looking for a great way to turn a bob hairstyle into a retro hairdo? Here is a cute look using a headband. This is a very short version of this time-less and popular "do." Hair is cut at chin length and bangs are cut straight across just hitting the eyebrow and then graduating slightly at the sides. This is a great style for a narrow face bringing width to it. The strands on the top are back combed with the top layer smoothed over to get the look of a bouffant and then a wide headband is placed. What a great way to turn a simple bob into a retro 60's look.

Women of the 60's who wanted a more conservative version of the big bouffant opted for a tamed down puffy hairdo like this one. In the 40's and 50's many gals pulled their locks up in the back and this practice carried over to the 60's for some. Ratting the top portion and then smoothing over the top layer gave height as we see here and then the back was secured into an updo. Lots of Aquanet hairspray was used to keep those strands in place.

The shag hairstyle began in the late 60's and was strong into the early 70's. This photograph was taken around 1970 and shows the hair and fashion that was hot during this time with men and women. This young woman's hairstyle has the typical hourglass shape that came from the transformation of the bouffant which was full and round on top. Then, the fringes of longer pieces that came down the neck and flipped up, just like the Florence Henderson hairdo from the Brady Bunch, made the shag just that.
