Sixties Hairstyles for Spring

Thanks to Madmen Season 5 the fashion industry and the general public are going for Madmen styles. A good example is the egg shaped low ponytail that was featured on the runways of designer Marc Jacobs.  This was an egg shaped hairdo with a lift at the back but with very flat side-swept bangs on the front.  The length of the hair is tied back into a ponytail. This is a look that looks great with heavier eyebrows and very white pale lips.

 

The bouffant look was also translated to a shorter cut. The hair is teased on the crown with whispy bangs in the front.  A hairband is tied from the back of the ears and up to the crown to make a bow.  The hairband used should have a demure flattened bow and pick up a color theme in the blouse or shirt you are wearing.

 

If you want to go for a Kitten With a Whip look then you can do what designer Moschino did and bouffant your hair up and tie it into a half-pony. Make sure that is parted on the side. Make sure you have heavier brows and heavy mascara to go with this look if you want to look a great deal like Ann Margaret.  This look is also similar to the half-up Brigitte Bardot hair style in which a the hair is parted in the center and the bouffant is at the top.  Simplest of all of these looks is the 1960s ponytail which is made with a bouffant at the top with the tail of hair pulled tightly at the nape of the neck.

 

As hard as it is to maintain it seems that the classic Holly Go Lightly beehive will never go our of style. Volume and style is given to this look by twisting the hair on top of the head.  Oscar De La Renta livened up the bouffant by adding a very bright streak of magenta pink color into a blonde do.

 

These looks are very easy to achieve with a bit of back brushing to give the crown the lift it needs to look fashionable. Nowadays you can buy root lift products that are much easier and nicer to use than the aerosol hair spray products that women from the fifties used to raise the height of their hair into a sky-high bouffants.  These root-lift products that are made by most major companies like Bedhead and L’Oreal are also easier on the environment.
