Hair Styles

I find it fairly amusing to flip through old magazines when I find them.  I enjoy checking out the hair styles in the photographs.  For a stretch of time in the 1960s, girls with super-straight hair were all the rage.  The hair on men grew longer and longer as the decade went on.  In the 1970s, afros came and went.  In the 1980s girls teased their hair into something big.  Today, for men, bald is a sure winner.

Conversations about hair have also changed.

At one time, an exchange between two young men at a bar might sound like this: “Which girl do you like at the corner table?  The blonde?  Or the brunette?”

These days such a conversation may sound like this: “Which girl do you like at that table? The one with purple and yellow hair or the girl with green hair?”
