Then & Now
Aside from Chuck Taylors, which never go out of style, cool is always evolving. In this issue of Willamette, we check out hairstyles trending on campus today and also a few ’dos from back in the day. Happy convergence that the musical “Hair” celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2015; AGSM celebrates its 40th this year. Check out the link below to see some classic looks, including a few then-and-now images of AGSM faculty.

THE BEEHIVE Fifty years ago, this look had coiffeurs all abuzz. With Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn embracing this vertical masterpiece, it’s easy to understand why so many “swarmed” to the style.
THE CHOP Not too long, not too short, just right. This low-maintenance style means less effort to look great. Perfect for walking the red carpet like Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence or racing to class in Eaton Hall.
THE BEATLES CUT The band’s “Love Me Do” was No. 1 on the charts, and did fans ever love those ’dos. Suddenly, the mop-top was a global phenomenon. Fast forward a few years, as the Fab Four stepped up their game by adding moustaches. Facial hair madness followed.
THE UNDERCUT Short on the sides and back, longer on top, this style is omnipresent. Spotted daily on the Quad, it’s also the look of choice for David Beckham, Brad Pitt and Rihanna.
