Many men and women had their hair exceptionally long and straight throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Women used scrunchies to hold their hair back in the 1980s. Punk haircuts were popular in the 1980s.
Historical periods
People have worn their hair in a broad range of ways throughout history, which are usually influenced by the trends of the culture they are a part of. Indicators and indicators of socioeconomic class, age, marital status, racial identity, political views, and gender attitudes are hairstyles.
Some individuals may choose to completely or partially cover their hair for cultural or religious reasons. Women in Islam wear the hijab, married women in Haredi Judaism wear the sheitel or tichel, married Himba men cover their hair except when they are in mourning, Tuareg males wear a veil, and baptized men and women in Sikhism wear the dastar as notable examples of head covering.

Razors were recognized and used by certain men throughout the Bronze Age, but not on a regular basis because the technique was uncomfortable and needed resharpening of the tool, reducing its durability.
Earlier times
Women's hair was frequently ornately and skillfully styled in unique ways in ancient cultures. Women colored, curled, and styled their hair in a variety of ways, including ponytails. They used wet clay, which they dried in the sun and then combed out, or perhaps a jelly made of quince seeds soaked in water, or curling tongs and curling irons of various sorts, to set their hair in waves and curls.
Women in Imperial Rome wore their hair in intricate fashions between 27 BC and 102 AD, including a top-heavy mass of curls or rows of waves pulled back into ringlets or braids. The hairstyles of noblewomen eventually became so intricate that they needed to be maintained on a daily basis by numerous slaves and a hairdresser. The hair was frequently lightened with wood ash, lime that hadn't been slaked, and sodium bicarbonate, or darkened with leeches that had been marinated in wine and vinegar, copper filings, or oak apples.
