Big Hair, Bigger Personality: The Voluminous Styles of the 60s


The 1960s were all about making a statement, and nothing screamed “style” louder than the era’s gravity-defying hairdos. Women back then didn’t just do their hair – they engineered architectural masterpieces on their heads, held firmly in place with enough hairspray to puncture the ozone layer. While today’s women might throw their hair in a messy bun for yoga class, these glamorous gymnasts proved you could stick the landing and keep every teased strand perfectly in place.

This photo captures more than just hairstyles – it’s a time capsule of an era when women brought full glamour to every activity. These athletes didn’t let backflips or splits compromise their impeccable updos, showing a dedication to style that makes today’s “athleisure” look downright lazy. The 60s might have been about freedom and rebellion, but when it came to hair, discipline reigned supreme.
