wig beat black

The black beat wig is a short men's wig with spiky, layered locks and a long fringe that falls to the eyebrows. The hairstyle evokes the beat bands of the 1960s, when boys first started growing their hair over their foreheads instead of combing it back. For men going to a 1960s party or a disco party, this is the wig that instantly sets the right period.

How the beat wig is constructed

• The cut is short, with protruding, spiky points all around and some looser tufts at the neck.
• The fringe falls diagonally across the forehead to just above the eyebrows.
• The locks are deep jet black and have a slight shine here and there.
• The wig is made of 100% polyester.
• The washing instructions are: do not wash, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron and do not dry clean.
• You only receive the wig; sunglasses or clothing are not included.

The 1960s beat hairstyle

In the early 1960s, British beat groups swapped the greased-back quiff for a fringe that fell over the forehead, and that hairstyle became the hallmark of beat music. Later in that decade, hair became longer and messier. This men's wig, with its volume and loose points, is closer to that rougher side than to the tightly cropped early look.

What costume do you wear under the beat wig at a 1960s party?

With a collarless jacket, a narrow tie and pointed boots, the beat wig turns you into a recognizable band member from the early 1960s. If you want to portray the looser side of that decade, choose a denim jacket with a white T-shirt and round sunglasses with a thin metal frame. If you are going to a disco party, the wig also suits a shiny shirt with a large pointed collar and wide-flared trousers.

Order the black beat wig and walk into the next 1960s party as the drummer or singer of your own beat band.
