If in The '50s, hair was properly structured to signal postwar prosperity and scientific progress, in The '60s, hair was done the same, but to new heights.
Considering the zeitgeist of the decade happens to be The Space Race, and much of science fiction is fixated on that, for hair, the sky is literally the limit, so much so that even the extreme hairstyles of 20 years later look quaint in comparison. There's even a quote that originated from The Deep South, that says "The higher the hair, the closer to God," that fully embraces this trope.
While there is no definitive hairstyle during the decade, as hairstyles rapidly changed throughout the whole decade, the constant staples include "getting high" and "letting loose". Hairstyles of the early parts of the decade had carryovers from the previous decade, with added height and volume, and a more streamlined look; the middle of the decade had Mod-influenced coifs with carefully-trimmed bangs, with some styles opting for geometric trims; and the end of the decade let all hairstyles loose for both sexes, with men sporting facial hair, and African-Americans started to sport their natural hair in reaction against previous hairdressing methods.
Note: Kindly provide examples of works after the 1960s, or period pieces and sci-fi settings made in the 1960s and beyond that have this type of hair. Instances of "[1960s work set in the 1960s] has 60s hair", except for very special cases, would state the obvious.

Many female characters in The Far Side feature beehive hairdos, usually paired with cat eye glasses. In the world of the strip, these are a universal signifier for mother figures and frumpy housewives, and are found on women of all species.

The Mighty Thor: Thor in his early days was known for his long hippie locks that In-Universe some flower children complimented him on◊, he's had his hair greatly shortened since then (excluding the brief period in the 90s where he got full on Barbarian Long Hair). Lady Sif had some bombshell hair◊ back then too.

Josie and the Pussycats: The early years had Josie start out with a tall bouffant with a little flip and a bow in the middle (later becoming less bouffant and more pageboy as the years went by), Melody with Jean Shrimpton-esque bouffant and flip, Alexandra with her hair up in an updo with a scarf and later long hair, Valerie with an afro, Alexander started with a sidepart and soon grew his hair out from a Beatle cut, and Alan gets a very grown out sidepart.

Mad Men (set during 1960-1970) has a host of varieties of hairstyles from the period: Joan's Beehive Hairdo which later had relaxed into a curly artichoke, Peggy's flip hairdos a la Jackie Kennedy, Betty Draper gets bouffant hairdos similar to Ladybird Johnson and Pat Nixon, Sally Draper's hair clips and headbands, Megan's flip and long bombshell hair, most of the older men continued with their '50s Hair looks, young men like Ken (who had a sidepart) and Harry let their sideburns grow or used the new "Dry Look", Pete Campbell gets a receding hairline where his gelled sidepart used to be. Season 4 Newcomer Stan Rizzo goes from a Jock-like sidepart to growing his hair (and beard) out.

Ant-Man: Janet Van Dyne aka The Wasp's pointy bubble flip that's she managed to hang onto for decades throughout the earlier Avengers comics. The only modern changes Jan has ever gotten is to either have slighter longer hair or Boyish Short Hair (she looks good with both). Strangely Nadia Pym is given a very similar hairdo◊ despite not being related to Janet at all* Granted her mother Maria Trovaya was an Identical Stranger to Jan .

The Flintstones mostly had '50s Hair with Fred, Wilma, and Barney. But Betty sticks out with her hairdo that was clearly inspired by Jackie Kennedy.

Star Trek: The Original Series:
Yeoman Rand has a Beehive Hairdo and Uhura has a pixie cut before sporting a bouffant in the later seasons.
The character of Pavel Chekov was introduced in season 2 in response to the popularity of The Monkees, and his actor Walter Koenig wore a moptop wig.

Spider-Man: Betty Brant similar to Janet has a pointy ended bubble flip that hasn't changed◊ for nigh on 60 years now. There's also Gwen Stacy's fipped hair◊ likely inspired by Brigitte Bardot◊ (along with the black hairband) though it later became more straight like MJ's hair. The most noticeable male example would be Doctor Octopus and his Beatlemania bowl cut that he's kept ever since.

As things like pop culture are slow to changes in rural Oklahoma in 1965, The Outsiders still has that late 50s and early 60s carryover of greaser hair, but with a bit of a touch of Messy Hair.
