most important hair trends that influenced the 60s and are still
around with a modern twist.
60s Bouffant Hair
Bouffants are probably the biggest hair legacy of the 60s, adding
height through volume. Teasing the hair created new looks for stars
like Brigitte Bardot, Jackie Kennedy and Raquel Welch.
The pulled-back bouffant is probably the most resilient hairstyle
from the 60s. To get this iconic look, you need to backcomb the
front and back sections of the hair across the crown, followed by
pulling back the bangs and securing them with bobby pins.
Gaining the extra volume is simple if you apply a styling lotion
while your hair is still wet after washing. You can use rollers to
create the perfect locks or keep it wavy for the texture that
created volume. A strong-hold hairspray is needed for most bouffant
looks, one of the popular 60s hairstyle trends.
60s Beehive
Brought back by Amy Winehouse, the beehive has plenty of
variations, but it's another hairstyle defined by volume and
height.
Using a teasing comb, you can create your preferred style of
beehive, whether you decide to opt for a cleaner look, with the
back sections of your hair secured to the back of the neck, a style
sported by Jennifer Lopez, or leave your locks hanging after
creating the extra volume on top.
60s Flip
Another of the 60s hairstyle trends that stuck around is the flip,
a long bob hairstyle with the ends
flipped outwards. You don't need a high-maintenance haircut to get
this look, especially if you plan on giving volume on top with a
teasing comb, before using rollers one the lower sections of your
hair, creating the iconic bell shape.
Pixie Cut
Popularized by Twiggy in the 60s, the pixie cut doesn't have the
volume or height of 60s bouffant hair, but it retains the same
femininity. Sported by celebrities like Michelle Williams, Anne
Hathaway, Carrie Mulligan and Rihanna, the
pixie haircut is the easiest way to jump on board with 60s
hairstyle trends without choosing a high-maintenance look.
