The easiest option that was readily available were wigs, which were made from real hair. Wigs were so popular in the 60’s people didn’t even try to pretend that it was their own hair. It wasn’t a secret and women proudly bought and wore all sorts of wigs. It was quite popular to own a couple of different wigs, all with different hairstyles. Wigs were made in cap shape, so you can easily put it on, almost like a hat and wear it.
Hairpieces were also quite fashionable. One might think it was a slightly more subtle way to add width, height and volume to your hairstyle, and perhaps you could get away with people thinking you just naturally have a lot of thick hair. But really, 60’s were not about being subtle. Size really did matter when it came to hairstyles, ladies.
