Hairstyles of the 60s

In the ’60s, Jackie Kennedy popularized the bouffant hairstyle. This look could be created using “ratting,” backcombing, or other means and was often styled with cute bows for a charming effect.

Long hippie hair was also famous. Long locks were left undone with thick fringe in front to achieve this look. This hairstyle symbolized freedom from social norms.

Brigitte Bardot

The 1960s was a decade of social change and sensuality manifested in women’s style choices, particularly in models like Brigitte Bardot. She made waves worldwide with her luxurious lips, gorgeous figure, and seductive bangs – becoming one of the world’s most stunning women in no time!

If you want a taste of this decade in your look, try the beehive hairstyle featuring long side bangs that fall just below eyebrow level for an easy ’60s touch that pairs nicely with waves or curls – it doesn’t get any better!

For this style, pre-shampoo your hair and apply texturizing spray or powder. Next, section off the back and tease each part; keep this going until you achieve your desired look, and complete by spraying a light misting of hairspray for the final touch.

Jean Shrimpton

Jean Shrimpton was an iconic supermodel, youthquake icon, and the original pioneer of the bob. Her shoulder-length locks were styled into pert bobs that could be teased and flipped, featuring an eyelash-grazing fringe to complete her iconic look – perfectly representing the London decadence she frequented.

Women’s hair could be backcombed into a round bouffant or straightened for a sleek look; short geometric bobs like those made famous by Vidal Sassoon on Nancy Kwan were also very fashionable now.

Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull made an iconic impression with her full and choppy bangs, perfectly framing her eyes with their fullness and choppiness. Recreate this look today by wearing loose waves with side parts for loose waves. Combine that look with a smoky eye, top and bottom lash mascara application, and glossy lips to complete this stunning ensemble!

Jane Fonda

hair with flowing feminine locks and side-swept bangs was famous during the ’60s, often seen on actresses such as Jane Fonda or in Motown girl groups such as The Shirelles.

Long styles were also highly fashionable during this era, particularly those featuring center-parted, straight styles with plenty of volume. Natural tones like the afro increased in popularity as civil rights marches took place and African American culture was accepted more openly.

At a movie premiere, Fonda showcased an elegant yet simple look. She combined short formal hair, showy earrings, and an exquisite mimosa yellow dress. She styled it into a sleek pixie cut featuring well-defined layers and silver tint for extra dimension and added height. This style works wonders in adding size to women over 50 today, making their eyes pop even further!

Twiggy

The 1960s was an era of transformation. Women’s hairstyles became sleeker and streamlined while social movements emerged.

Lesley Hornby, more commonly known as Twiggy, became famous when her androgynous appearance captured the fashion world’s imagination, and she was noticed in the newspaper by the fashion editor. Her signature gamine crop remains iconic today.

This half-up bouffant style is easy to recreate: brush out and part your strands on one side before gently tucking strands at the front and pulling back behind your ears for this chic updo look. Add pins if necessary to secure it securely if desired! Finish it with some pale pink lipstick and thick black liner to make your eyes pop even further!
