Beehive 60's hair

In the 60's the beehive was a popular hairstyle, and it was also featured a lot in the modern film of Hairspray based in the 60's. There are a few ways you can go about doing a beehive, but for my hair type (fairly thin) this method is the better option as my hair tends to fall flat quickly after backcombing.

If you do have thick hair, or if your hair seems to work well with backcombing, you just simply part your hair into sections at the front of your head, and back comb them all. (Backcomb a lot for a more dramatic beehive). Then you smooth it over by combing all the sections together and setting them in place with hairspray and grips. Youtube video can be done on beehives if requested.

Another way to create a beehive is to use crepe hair.

Here i parted the hair so that there were pieces separate from the front and back, and behind the front section i placed a little wad of crepe hair, and used hair grips to keep it in place. I then flicked the front section of the hair back, so that the crepe hair was hidden, and left two sections of hair at the front of the face in a middle parting. I then smoothed the beehive over with a comb, and pinned it at the back so that it was secure!.

With the back of your hair you are then free to do whatever you like, ponytail, bun, or even just left down and curled. I have just left the hair at the back as to how it was before i started on it, as i was only showing off the beehive.
