This picture shows three generations of women and was taken back in the early 60's. The young lady in the middle is a teenager here and we see the bouffant hair which was just beginning to make an entrance during this time. The woman on the right is the mom and she is still sporting a more conservative 50's hairstyle that is styled more closely to the head and not as full as the younger generation was wearing at the time. The woman on the left is of course the grandmother and she looks like she is wearing something in between the two hairdos. The ladies are wearing peddle pushers which would be similar to today's capri pants only fitting close to the leg. Patterned fabrics were popular back then as well as 3/4 length sleeves and boat necks.

A trendy men's hairstyle is what we have here. This teen has a 60s-ish haircut with the full bang that is combed forward. Take a look at this post here and see the similarities in style. Back then the sides were generally shorter so as to expose the ears, but this picture shows a modern edge to this retro look. This is almost an inverted bob for guys. If you are the sort who likes to stay up on the latest, then this may be for you. It works well with straight and even fine locks.

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.
