Those Sixties Hairstyles!


Another episode of 'Down on the Farm' the story of my husband's childhood!


Those 60’s Hairstyles

"This must be around 66 or 67, I would be around 10 or 11, the yard had been concreted, but unfortunately, my dad still cut my hair with, believe it or not, the electric cow clippers, which I am sure had exposed cable hanging out the back. Despite my protestations about wanting a Beatles haircut, it always looked like this. I think this was taken shortly after such a haircut.

I'm sure my sister's was the height of fashion at the time, not sure about mum's though, but at least she was wearing her nylon coat which she used to go into the henhouse to collect the eggs and then clean them ready for collection."

  3. tracy - As it's a digital LO there isn't anywhere else to put the journalling, but I'm beginning to think I'll have to make some 'real' pages for these photos and the journalling, there was another half page of writing that went with this photo!

    Tracey - that's it for this week, so there wont be any posting tomorrow, hope you are not too disappointed.

  7. Cattle clippers - now there's a thought! Probably just the pre0-curosr of the electric clippers you get these days for beards and hair - maybe it's where the idea came from! Love the LO but I think you're right - paper and hidden journalling spots required for some of these for sure!

  11. Oh those boy-hair cuts that were called "Pixies"! I had one, too. My mom argued that it wasn't a boy-haircut, but when I look back on the pictures, people wonder who the cute little boy was!
