Bob Dylan wore his hair all messy. However, he still has natural curls. For him, it wasn't just a fashion—he also wanted it to be understood as a protest.

The mop tops from Liverpool 12 years ago: Today, some parents would be happy if their sons were content with such short hairstyles like the Beatles here.

BRAVO shows you how hairstyles made history using the example of 26 famous pop stars.

ROCK & ARCH

It all started with the Beatles in 1962: The four from Liverpool created a new hair fashion. And young people all over the world joined in. Long, longer, shoulder-length—lately, more and more pop stars and fans are discovering a completely new way to style their mop tops. But the hairdresser. Turn the page

With Jimi Hendrix came the Afro look – hair teased into a wild mound of curls. Girls, in particular, adopted this fashion. Boys often didn't have the patience to spend hours tinkering with their hairstyles.

Frank Zappa rediscovered the man: He cut his hair to shoulder length and grew a beard. In doing so, he made this facial adornment popular again all over the world.

Who singer Roger Daltrey has only been wearing his hair this long for about two years – he wants nothing to do with the short fashion.

The Stones were always a bit wilder, louder, and crazier than the Beatles. Their hair was too. They were the first group to wear it shoulder-length. Back then, there was a lot of trouble about that.

The gentle rock angel is called Robert Plant, and that's exactly what he looks like with his shoulder-length, curly blond hair, which he cares for with devotion. It's his trademark

Status Quo have the longest hair - about 40 cm. Hardly any other band has mastered the art of head shaking on stage like they do. The hair has to fly - how long will it last?

Alice Cooper sits in front of the mirror for almost two hours every day, teasing his hair. For him, this is part of the image of the

public terror he loves to play.

Many Stars and Fans Are Parting with Their Manes

Long, thin blonde hair gives Yes star Rick Wakeman a girlish look. At concerts, it becomes a curtain behind which Rick's face can no longer be seen that's it

Alvin Stardust styles himself like Elvis in the early 1950s

Marc Bolan loves variety—his hairstyle is now only half-length—but still curly. This costs him a lot of time and patience with curlers

Germany's pop stars' hair only grew down to their shirt collars. On Rex Gildo and Roy Black, it looked very well-groomed

The craziest "hair star" at the moment is Roy Wood of Wizard. He not only wears his hair chest-length with a wildly overgrown beard - he also dyes it. Sometimes black with green streaks, sometimes fiery red.

If you like this medium-length haircut, let your girlfriend touch your head! After washing, part your hair and start by cutting one half of it. The top layer is pinned up, and you determine the length of the cut through the undercoat. Then you pull the top layer strand by strand and match it to the undercoat.

David Bowie takes a hair artist from France with him on concert tours. The hairdresser ensures that the typical Bowie look - short in front, long in the back - is maintained.

Now move on to the side section. The top hair is pinned up again. The trimmed underhair must run in a diagonal line from the chin to the back hair. The bangs are shortened to eye level. Then level the top hair with the underhair. Finally, pull out individual strands and check whether the hair ends are aligned.

The Beatles again: Paul and George (photos outside) like it medium-length today, while Ringo and John prefer it short. Will they make it fashionable again like it was twelve years ago?

Clean-parted, oily, neat, millimeter-short, and bare ears—these were the only ways a boy could wear his hair. Until 1962! Because then the Beatles came along, and their mushroom cuts became a bone of contention among adults. Millions of young people suddenly discovered that they, too, could stand out and make a show with every inch of their hair. Back then, there was no funny teenage fashion like there is today, at most, discarded hair

or hideously practical things to wear. What could be more natural than to make a little more of one's face and hair? The girls painted themselves with makeup, and the boys, like the Beatles, began to compete with their girls to see who had the longer curls. And the hair just kept growing. Of course, the Beat and pop stars experimented the wildest with their hairstyles. They could afford any unusual look

they wanted. For a normal boy who went to school, the office, or an apprenticeship, however, it was difficult to stand up to his Afro, his shoulder-length curls, or his ponytail. Some wanted to protest against strict parents or superiors with their "hippie look," but most just enjoyed doing something that didn't cost a penny and yet made them a funny guy: simply letting their hair grow

But now hair is supposed to get shorter again. The days of angel curls and lion's manes are numbered. And once again, it's the Beatles who are giving the signal. Ringo Starr and John Lennon are wearing their hair pencil-short, and with them, many stars and thousands of teenagers are beginning to part with their manes. Until we're back where we were before the Beatles: with the good old slicked-back cut.
