Ah, the 1970s. Way back when we guys all wanted to look like Mark Spitz.

No desire to look like Mark Spitz, that was just the style back then. Came from Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in 1969. Spitz just jumped on the band wagon with the rest of us.

Best,

It was a bit too long. Hid the mutton chop sideburns. 🤣

Yes. All that hair. I recall it came into vogue at around the time of the Munich Olympics, which would be 1972. The men's hair salon I went to at that time in Toronto - that now long-chopped long ago era when I still had hair worth reckoning with - immediately put up its prices by 50%-100%, and according to my hair cutter the cash rolled in.

It looks rather, well, unnatural now. But it was THE fashionista look in 1973 when I left Toronto for New Mexico. In Santa Fe I soon got rid of my flared jeans and had my locks shorn to the popular NM short cut. Real men in Santa Fe and Taos didn't go out looking like a male model in the '70s.

These days many of us would be happy to half half as much hair. And black not out of a dye bottle.

Hairspray. Men used it as much or more than women back then. But it wasn't much use in the New Mexico wind. Hairspray was nasty stuff. And hair gel. That stuff would harden and you became a helmet head. "Unnatural" is putting it mildly. But we did it for vanity.
