Okay, lets be honest here—don’t you secretly wish that you were born in another era?
While it’s great to have the opportunity to experience 2015, it can be hard to fight the temptation to look back into the past and see how people lived their lives back then.
Sure, maybe you don’t really want to return to a time before indoor plumbing, but the aesthetics and styles of times past are so enticing and so different. After all, I’m happy to have missed Prohibition, but some of the haircuts from this past century that these dancers model? To die for!
Of course, when it comes to retro style from the past 100 years, the flapper era of the Roaring Twenties was cool, but it’s the 1960’s that really take the cake. Absolutely everything changed in the sixties, from the fashion to the music to the beauty routines.
Most of these have kind of gone out of fashion, but there are definitely a few retro hair-‘dos that could use a revival! One of my all-time faves is the beehive; that bouffant look that gives a short lady like myself a generous boost in height, while also looking delightfully vintage!
To recreate this lovely look, all it takes is patience, bobby pins, and a very high tolerance for backcombing. If you don’t mind a whole lot of extra volume in your hair, then this is the look for you!
And if you can’t wait to take the beehive out for a spin, please SHARE on Facebook for anyone who yearns for the wacky style of the swinging sixties!
