Wigs came back in style in the 1960’s because everyone wanted to have the amazing hairstyle that Farah Fawcett had, with the flip front and long thick straight locks.  It was a difficult style to copy but it was so popular that everyone wanted to have it and to look just like Farah.  It was easy and affordable to buy the new fun fashion wigs that had copied her look; tuck your hair up underneath, and you are all ready to go.   Also, during the 60’s there was a trend to wear these acrylic wigs in colors that matched your outfit.  Pink, purple, bright yellow and red wigs were worn with pride and considered very stylish for about three years, which is considered to be a “life-time” in the fashion world.
