The famous French actress of the 50s and 60s paved the way for other starlets, but was easily recognizable in a crowd thanks to her penchant for HUMUNGOUS hair, from big beehives to boisterous bouffants.
#3. Raquel Welch
This 1960s bombshell is so famous for her massive mane that a quick Google search reveals there are several lines of wigs and hairpieces named after her…I guess a lot of women are STILL trying to achieve Welch's signature waves.

Country queen Dolly P was sporting big hair before she was big and famous! "Everybody has their own idea about how they look the best and in my world, I always wanted to be glamourous…so I like to wear a lot of hair."

Perms and chemical processes used to be the norm, but Ms. Grier was one of the leading forces in a widespread movement to reclaim African heritage and culture with her bold and beautiful look.
