The Beatles changed rock and roll as we know it today. Twiggy succeeded in the creation a new dimension in the fashion industry. Marilyn Monroe bravely sang an unprecedented version of "Happy Birthday" to the President. And, baseball was (and debatably still is), America's favorite pastime, as Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris keep the country's eyes glued on the television as they competed to beat Babe Ruth's home run record. The 1960s were hot, and the hair styles were hotter. And we may just have hit the "repeat" button; the 'doos from the sixties are finding their way into mainstream manes. Be ahead of the trends by taking a look into the past, as we re-discover the sexy sixties styles....

Inspired   by   episodes   of   the   Mod    Squad, this
look  captured  young  hairs  everywhere. More likely
to be seen on teenagers and women in their twenties,
this  mod  look  is still wearable today, as seen on the
likes  of the   average  girl  to  celebrities like Beyonce.

Cleanse   hair,   and   with  towel-dampened   hair,   apply  a
dime-size  amount of  styling gel evenly  from scalp  to ends.
Blow-dry  hair  with  a  medium  round brush; work from front
hairline  to  a forward motion. In the front, begin to define and
separate  the sections surrounding the face with shaping gel.
Finish with a light mist of shine spray, and you're good to go!

The  British  were  coming   in  the  1960s,  and   they
brought their short styles  with  them.   Influenced  by
supermodel Twiggy, this style has managed to cross
decades and become one  of the most popular short
cuts this side of Beverly  Hills, (see Keira Knightley).

Wash  hair and spray roots with   hairspray.  Secure  top
sections  of hair  away with clips. Begin with underneath
sections  and blow dry with a brush to smooth  hair.   Lift
the  layers at the top away  a little from scalp as you dry
near  roots.   Blow-dry   hair    to  one  side  with  a  part.
Follow with section-by-section flat ironing. Finish with gel.

One  of the more  Americanized hair  styles  of  the
sixties  was this fussy-style. It took women a lot of
work and time to accomplish this style, which  was
described as hair that  "falls freely in a deep tumble
of  waves."  Alyssa  Milano  tried   this  style  below.

Use hairspray evenly on damp hair. Give curls at the bottom
of hair a scrunch with a diffuser until hair is completely dry.
Clip  top  portion  of  hair  flat.   Use  gel to finish this style.

In the sixties, attention to detail was the key. Curly hair
was all the rage -- especially deep ones,  like   pictured
above.  This  'doo, from a hair color advertisement, was
described as "a tumble of pale blonde tendrils." Britney
Spears  gave  this  style  a  spin   in  the picture below.

Start by  towel-drying hair by squeezing, but not rubbing, hair
and apply  gel. Hair-dry on medium/high heat with  a   diffuser
attached.  Lift  the  hair gently with palm of hands as you dry
underneath. Let hair drop into diffuser as you dry it with head
tilted to the side you're drying.  While  drying hair, twist front
sections  away  from  the  face  with   your fingers. Finish by
gently  scrunching  hair  with hands and using a light spray.

Another common  look  that's   never  really  faded,  this  pulled-
back look  was a smash in the sixties. The style was to sweep
the top layer of the hair straight back at the crown.   Hollywood
uses  this  hairstyle  for  the  red carpet and the everyday, a la
Lindsay  Lohan  and  her   re-creation   in   the   picture  below.

Cleanse hair and towel-dry. Apply pea-sized amount of styling gel
evenly from scalp to ends. Starting in the sections  in   the  back,
blow-dry  hair  smooth  with  a vent brush. Flat-iron all of your hair
beginning  with  the back and working with small sections. Use a
dime-sized amount of styling cream and rake fingers through your
hair to give it definition and texture. Complete the look by pulling
front  sections  into the back of hair and clipping, and you're set!
