Girls like ease
of
The fro . . . the perm . . .
the curl . . . the blow cut
. . . to the fashion-conscious
these terms continued to
describe some of the more
popular styles. of hair that is.
Long hair remained a favorite
with some girls . especially
with its ease of being twisted
into a knot atop the head.
The Farrah Fawcett look
which required a precision cut,
blow drying, styling, and
rolling, diminished in popularity
as the '70's diminished. The
more flexible and easier to
manage hair styles seemed to
accompany the fast-paced
introduction to the new
decade.
Girls were not the only
ones concerned with the
appearance of their hair as the
fellows no longer went to get
a haircut; instead, they made
appointments for a hair style.
With their increased interest in
their appearance came
increased costs of maintaining
~
hairstyle, since the usual cut
required more frequent trips to
keep it shaped. Average costs
for the cut alone were in
excess of $10.
The curly look, referred to
as a fro, or an afro, or simply
a perm, was a natural for
some people, while others had
to have a permanent to
achieve the short, curly look.
Whatever the choice, the
youth of the 'SO's seemed to
prefer a soft, comfortable look
that required little attention to
keep it looking well-groomed.
