1960s men’s hairstyles were a continuation of what the 1950s era had produced. When it comes to hairstyling, the 1950s era was very conservative. However, the next decade saw a transformation of men’s hairstyles from old-fashioned to free and more fashionable hairstyles.

1. The Mop Top

Without a doubt, the most radical and iconic hairstyle for men in the ‘60s. This men’s hairstyle was made popular by the band The Beatles. Further, the hairstyle was championed by rock groups of the time such as The Doors, The Rolling Stones and Herman’s Hermits.

A mop-top featured long fringe styled perfectly slightly above the eyebrows. The hair on the sides reached the ears, and that at the back hang down to the shirt collar. The mop-top came to limelight in 1961, when Paul McCartney and John Lennon were walking in the streets of Paris and saw it.
