Tips for 60s Hairstyles

1960s hair got bigger than in the 1950s, except for the mod looks. Back-combing and hairspray are key elements of the big looks while shine is the key for mod cuts.

Bouffant

Jackie Kennedy popularized this hairstyle.

1. Set hair in big rollers. Brush out using a boar bristle brush.

2. Backcomb at the roots, focusing on the crown .

3. Use a fine-tooth comb or boar bristle brush to smooth the top layer of hair.

4. Turn up the ends.

5. Use strong-hold hairspray.

Beehive

The beehive took the bouffant one bigger. You can wear the style as a full up-do, or half-up, half-down as Brigitte Bardot did.

Up-do

1. Backcomb the crown . Leave the front smooth.

2. Use a fine-tooth comb to smooth the top layer of hair.

3. Secure the back of the hair in a low twist using pins, about midway down the head. Leave the bottom smooth.

4. Secure sections from the smooth hair using pins, maintaining the twist. Leave a bangs section.

5. Use strong-hold hairspray.

Brigitte

1. Set hair on medium rollers. Do not brush out.

2. Backcomb the crown . Leave the front smooth.

3. Secure the crown in a twist at about the middle of the head.

4. Use a fine-tooth comb to smooth only the crown.

5. Secure sections from the front using pins, maintaining the twist. Leave long bangs.

6. Tousle the remaining curls.

7. Use medium-hold hairspray.

Mod

Mod looks were the polar opposite of the big bouffant and beehive. A mod cut must be very precise. It should include sharp angles. People with curly hair can wear this look, but they'll need to blow dry the hair straight.

1. Use gel and shine products to make the hair smooth and sleek.

2. Use a fine-tooth comb to arrange the style.

3. You can wear this cut combed all forward or swept to the side.
