Straighten your hair with a large, round brush and a hair dryer, or wear a wig with long, straight hair and bangs.

on 11/22/2005 after looking thru our resources we discovered: lots of big flowers, lots of pink, orange, yellow, lime. Don't forget peace signs and afros for curly haired ladies!

on 11/22/2005 It'll look really good to have big hooped earrings, they'll also emphasize the straightness of your hair. Baker's Boy caps were stylish back then, too. Check out Biba, one of the top designers from the sixties.
