As they came along, more men were seen with long hair. It was never common to have hair longer than the ears, but soon enough, men were becoming shaggier and shaggier. Men would even ask their hairdressers for the 'beatle cut' to look like them.
By the 1970s, long hair, such as the mop top and beehive, became popular and standardized for men. Because of their influence on hairstyle, there became a production of Beatle-Wigs that could be worn at all times by anyone. This hairstyle brought in the hippie style, which was all about long, messy hair.
Women would also put their hair up, laying out the sides, rocking the bouffant hairdo. Basically, every man and woman was going crazy about their hair, messy or not, they wanted it, and they
got it.
