Another thing that was being sold in the late 60s-early 70s were full-head wigs, for the dudes who wouldn't cut their long hair in high school.

I had a friend who did that for his National Guard duty

Remember Rod Stewart and Ron Wood of the band Faces (formerly Small Faces)?
They had a distinctive haircut. Best way I can describe it, almost a point at the top, then feathered in a sort of a shag cone.
An entire social fraternity at my Midwestern ag school aped the look, TKE I think. One of them would walk by and the jocks and cowboys elbowed one another: “Check out that fag!”

‘Teaks’ really weren’t fags, and I liked ‘old gravel-voice’ but didn’t want to look like him.

"My hairstyle was the one on the top right..."

Just like John Hinckley, Junior.

A reason I miss the 80s, one among a great many.

Those first ones like extras on a Streets Of San Francisco episode. A favorite show of mine.

I’ve been using a Flowbee since 1993. Never had a breakdown or glitch not dull blades. Still works like a charm. Only issue is using electric clippers and backing up to the BR mirror while hold a small mirror and then telling my brain which way I need to hold the clippers to get a straight cut across the bottom of the hair line. I’ve been asked a number of times who my barber is. This gizmo has paid for itself many times over.

One of my greatest fears is that a picture of me wearing bell-bottoms surfaces. I sleep a bit better knowing that the flood that inundated >80% of the town might have destroyed any evidence. (^;

Middle '80s I had rather long hair. Had to cut it for work, and the girlfriend immediately dumped me. How superficial is that?

She hooked up with the guy who must have been the inspiration for the line, 'heavy metal goldilocks, tryin to look tough'. I just laughed.

I did a stint in the army and a stint in college in the front end, then grew my hair to my shoulder blades, picked up a guitar, and it was party time!

Just google any picture of Karen Ann Quinlan and you’ll see every ‘70s girl’s hairstyle.

I was in high school and college in the seventies, but had the Offutt cut during that era.
