C.    Hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, who went on to become an international name in hair care, died Wednesday. He was 84When Sassoon picked up his shears in the 1950s, styled hair was typically curled, teased, piled high and shellacked intoplace. Then came the 1960s, and Sassoon's creative cuts, which required little styling and fell into place perfectly every time,fit right in with the fledgling women's liberation movement.
    "My idea was to cut shape into the hair, to use it like fabric and take away everything that was superfluous," Sassoon saidin 1993 in the Los Angeles Times, which first reported his death Wednesday. "Women were going back to work; they wereassuming their own power. They didn't have time to sit under the dryer anymore."
    His wash-and-wear styles included the bob, the Five-Point cut and the "Greek Goddess," a short, tousled perm inspiredby the "Afro-marvelous-looking women" he said he saw in New York's Harlem.          Sassoon opened his first salon in his native London in 1954 but said he didn't perfect his cut-is-everything approach untilthe mid-'60s. Once the wash-and-wear concept hit, though, it hit big and many women retired their curlers for good.
    He worked with Mary Quant, the superstar British fashion designer who popularized the miniskirt. He also often workedin the 1960s with American designer Rudi Gernreich, who became a household name in 1964 with his much-publicized (butseldom-worn) topless bathing suit.
    Growing up very poor in London, Sassoon said that when he was 14, his mother declared he was to become a hairdresser."I thought I'd be a soccer player but my mother said I should be a hairdresser, and, as often happens, the mother got her way,"he told the AP in 2007.
