If in TheFifties, [[FiftiesHair hair was properly structured]] to signal postwar prosperity and scientific progress, in TheSixties, hair was done the same, but to new heights.

Considering the zeitgeist of the decade happens to be UsefulNotes/TheSpaceRace, and much of science fiction is fixated on that, for hair, the sky is literally the limit, so much so that even [[EightiesHair the extreme hairstyles]] of [[TheEighties 20 years later]] look ''quaint'' in comparison. There's even a quote that originated from TheDeepSouth, that says "The higher the hair, the closer to God," that fully embraces this trope.

While there is no definitive hairstyle during the decade, as hairstyles rapidly changed throughout the whole decade, the constant staples include "getting high" and "letting loose". Hairstyles of the early parts of the decade had carryovers from [[TheFifties the previous decade]], with added height and volume, and a more streamlined look; the middle of the decade had Mod-influenced coifs with carefully-trimmed bangs, with some styles opting for geometric trims; and the end of the decade [[LettingHerHairDown let all]] [[ShakingHerHairLoose hairstyles loose]] for both sexes, with men sporting facial hair, and African-Americans started to sport their natural hair in reaction against previous hairdressing methods.

If in TheFifties, [[FiftiesHair hair was properly structured]] to signal postwar prosperity and scientific progress, in TheSixties, hair was done the same, but [[UpToEleven to new heights]].

* The 1962 film ''The Counterfeit Traitor'', a loosely based tale of an American-born Swedish spy [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Erickson_(spy) Eric Erickson]], has much of the cast sporting early 1960s hair instead of the period accurate UsefulNotes/WorldWarII era dos. An example is Marianne, played by Creator/LilliPalmer, who sports [[https://counterfeitwriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/counterfeit-traitor-holden-palmer-apt.jpg a bouffant]] in the film compared to the actress in [[https://i.pinimg.com/474x/9a/a0/c3/9aa0c3f4fd436baccb8be9fd220a45ae--lilli-palmer-lace-gloves.jpg the 1940s]].
* Post-makeover Eliza, from the 1964 film adaptation of ''Theatre/MyFairLady'', has her sporting [[https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f3/88/69/f388697d289e935d4f06548072d8db0c.jpg a 1960s take]] on [[https://www.hairfinder.com/hairstyles12/vintagehairstyles.htm late Edwardian coiffures]], especially at the Embassy Ball.
* The 1965 film adaptation of ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic'' has Maria donning a bowl cut, which would be considered out of place in late 1930s Austria.

* As things like pop culture are slow to changes in rural Oklahoma in 1965, ''Literature/TheOutsiders'' still has that late 50s and early 60s carryover of greaser hair, but with a bit of a touch of MessyHair.

* An interesting case is the [[Creator/PatrickTroughton Second Doctor]] from ''Series/DoctorWho'', who, despite saying that was against his taste when he was the First Doctor, wears a moptop (with touches of bowl cut) anyway, just like Music/TheBeatles.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': Yeoman Rand has a BeehiveHairdo and Uhura has a pixie cut before sporting a bouffant in the later seasons.

[[folder:Music]]
* Taking Music/TheBeatles as direct inspiration for their music, TheNineties BritPop band Music/{{Oasis}} wore (and some members still wear) moptop haircuts like the Fab Four.

* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' has the gang still donning '60s hairstyles for half a century, with Daphne wearing Jean Shrimpton-esque locks, Velma with a bowl bob, Fred with a prim moptop, and Shaggy with... well... shaggy hair and a stubble.

* JapaneseDelinquents use frondous pompadours and sideburns as part of their haircuts, being later known as DelinquentHair. This fad continues until today and had been inspiration for fictional delinquents ([[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything and wannabes]]) in JapaneseMedia.
* Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos is (in)famously ubiquitous with her signature beehive hairdo.
