Hairdressing students of Southampton Technical College swept to victory in an organised competition.
The contest - an informal, friendly one - was held at Southampton's Central Hall and attracted a large audience.
Each team created women's hairstyles for day, evening and "fantasy" wear.
Judged by a panel of three experts, students of Southampton Technical College won all three sections.
The competition was the brainchild of Mrs D Sellick, head of the General Studies Department of Southampton College.
The compere was Mr HC Rumble, and Mr AW Nobbs, principle designate of Southampton Technical College.
Judges were Mrs B Laming, chairman of the Southern Area National Hairdressers' Federation; Mrs C Robinson, past president of Portsmouth Incorporated Guild of Hairdressers; and Mr H Craig, chairman of the Bournemouth Are National Hairdressers' Federation. Scrutineers were Mrs EM Luxton and her son Mr M D Luxtom - both Southampton hairdressers.
These pictures were taken at the event on March 3, 1969.
