I/ Choose the best answer :
Hairstyles are not just about looking smart we also use them to do/cause/make/give statements about ourselves. We can wear/support/hold/carry our hair longer or shorter than other people to give the thought/meaning/design/impression that we are different or we can style our hair in imitation of a pop celebrity and propose/hope/wish/suggest that people will think we are fashionable. In the UK in the early 1960s, the Beatles' “mop-hair” style was copied by boys who, on the whole, wanted and required/expected/supposed/anticipated to shock their parents. Later, middle-class “hippies” let their hair grow long to explain/create/perform/show their commitment to an alternative lifestyle. In the 1970s, “skinheads” shaved their heads and allowed/admitted/claimed/said to represent the working class; and for those who felt themselves part of a multi-cultural society dreadlocks were in/with/at/onfashion. In recent years, though, men's hairstyles have been more dictated by fashion icons like the footballer David Beckham who changes his look every few months, borrowing/using/lending/operating from styles anywhere in the world.
