By 1968, many outlandislciiihairstyles were in style. Young women were wearingfheehives, andbuffonts. This hairstyle was achieved by teasing hairfwith :fine tooth combs, and using a lot of hairspray Hset the style. ing place. Young men were wearing pompadours and flat tops, and usually greased their hair back. But when you think about itfsome of today's hairstyles far exceed those of the 60fsflinaexaggeration.Q i C0Wb0Y Mania In 1981 the ever popular and sexy, John Travolta, again inspired the fashion world with a style that swept the country like a raging fever. No longer were the flair-bottom slacks and silk shirts that he made famous in the late 70's the ultimate thing in fashion.
