The 60s are back.
The 60s are back.
If you’re the kind of person who likes to stay on top of trends, this should come as no surprise. The Beehive is a classic style that has been popping up lately–and it’s not just because we’ve all decided that Beatlemania is cool again. The truth is that the ’60s were an era filled with incredible fashion moments (think bell bottoms and tie-dye), so it makes sense that some of those looks would make their way back into our wardrobes. But what exactly does the term “beehive” mean? Is it just another name for an updo? Or do you need something more specific than just “a hairstyle” when talking about this particular look?
If you want to channel your inner flower child but with a modern vibe, try these tips:
Go for a retro look
For a retro look, there are many hairstyles that can give you that 60s vibe. A beehive is one of the most popular styles from this era and has been making a comeback recently in modern fashion. To get an updated look, start with voluminous hair (it doesn’t need to be straight or curly). After adding mouse for hold, blow dry the top with a big, round brush. For extra hold and shine, add some hairspray! If you want even more volume than what comes naturally from having thick locks, try using a curling iron on certain sections of your mane first before putting them up into an updo; this way, they’ll stay put better than if they were just left loose around your face when tied off at the nape of your neck.


Accessorize
Give that decade (1960’s today) a modern touch. A mix between the 1960s and today.
Update your looks by inspiration throughout ANY decade to create updated iconic looks. How fun to recreate some of these looks with a touch of today, right? Giving some beachy waves to the bouffant beehive vibe with new hair accessories like THESE or THESE to make your 1960s look more modern – don’t you think?

Thanks – see the movie!! 🙂
Your hair looks SO good! I love that accessory in the back!! So cool! 🙂 I still haven’t seen this movie and NEED to! I’ve loved this series and will be sad to not see your take on the 70s and 80s with a modern twist ;).
Thanks, Vicki!! I think as we get closer to 2015 its harder to merge the 2015 with a recent time. We do so much in our styles today anyway that mesh the ’70’s or ’80’s that I really enjoyed more of the challenge from the older time periods. Thanks for your thoughts!! 🙂
How pretty is that hair accessory!!! I love that. Your makeup looks really pretty as well. It’s been fun to follow you through all these hairstyles!
