Describe a few of the favorite hairstyles of your youth.

Long hair with curls bringing the end of the hair flipped back up, however it was only on the girls until the late sixties when the flower children, hippies, started wearing it long on the boys and the girls. The boys hairstyles were neat and kept somewhat short and well off the collars and out of the eyes. Then in the summer it would be buzzed as short as the clippers could shave it without actually shaving our heads. It was much cooler for the summer but required wearing a cowboy hat whenever we were outside to avoid getting the tops of our heads sunburned. The girls styles look much lie the styles that today’s cowgirls are often seen still wearing with the hair ratted up above their heads.
