1960's

Everybody here has short hair. Mom has a typical curled style that was most likely set on rollers the night before. The bangs are brushed straight up and back for height and she sides are curled under right at the ear. The little girl has a pixie cut and a most hysterical expression showing missing teeth, the older sister has a bob with a touch of curl at the ends, and the young boy has a short crew cut. Button up shirts from plain white, to checks, to patterns were popular along with rolled up jeans. And we must not forget those unforgettable cat eye glasses. The year was about 1966.

This picture was taken in 1964 and is a great example of what types of hairstyles you might have seen on women and girls. The woman standing in the background is in her early 20's and is sporting a bouffant without bangs. Her hair is pulled up into an updo with much height and fullness that was accomplished with ratting the strands and products such as Dippity Do and Aquanet. Her eye make-up is dramatic with dark liner that extends past the corners. The mom has a bleach blonde poof doo. The child has a pixie cut and back then parents usually cut their kid's hair which is obvious with the uneveness.

What a great example of a typical 60's family and their hairstyles and clothing. This picture was taken along side a pool in the backyard and shows a mom with her short softly curled hairdo with the top being ratted for the bouffant effect, the dad with his flat top crew cut and heavy rimmed sunglasses, and the kid with her typical pixie cut that was done by her mother and very chopped up.
