As others have mentioned, some really way out hairdos.

Not having lived through these days, I can definitely say both the styles and the narration are terrible.

OK, this one was great. Some nutty hairstylist in San Francisco was doing uh, rather UNUSUAL hairstyles on her clients. I really liked the taillights design. THAT would look cool actually, The tiger one looks ok, The #9 hairstyle, complete with, yes, a #9 in your hair is ridiculous, but the absolute worst is the feather creation. Lets just hope its not windy. A RIOT!

This newsreel clip shows us a San Francisco hairdresser who specializes in weird dos involving the addition of things such as parakeet feathers, furs, and metal numbers. These are really weird hairstyles, folks, presented in a creepy, scary manner. Especially ÂThe Leopard, which is downright Evil. One of the weirdest newsreel clips IÂve seen.
