Fall trend #4: The beehive

This fall, the 1960's beehive is back! According to The New York Times, the modern version is sexy and tousled, and the ears are covered for a pretty profile. (Here's a how-to.) Would you try it?

  12. I'll have to revise this one for short hair... but you know what they say- "the bigger the hair, the closer to God"! {I'm from a small southern town... at least that's what they say}

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  18. I love big hair! Using my Bump It makes it even easier. Love this look!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love it. But I'm not sure I would look as good as this girl:-D

    ReplyDelete
  20. I have always loved this look. I have crazy short hair so it's a no go for me but hope you all give it a go!

    ReplyDelete
  21. oh totally. i love the poof (just not too guidette).

    ReplyDelete
  22. Would love to try this look-- think it's the next step, now that bump-its have been embraced by more than just Amy Winehouse and Flo in the Progressive commercials?

    I actually love just about any retro look, except my hair is way too short to pull something like this off. Sad.

    ReplyDelete
  23. See the clip below from Coffee & Cigarettes...the actress looks extremely sexy with a beehive...very retro chic but I'm sure an updated version would look great..

  24. i would try it if my hair was longer than six inches :(

    ReplyDelete
  25. when I was about 5 I saw a photo of my mom with a beehive and asked her how she did that to her hair. She spent the next 3 hours setting, teasing and spraying my hair into a perfect beehive and it was awesome!

    Well, awesome and kinda itchy.

    the updated version looks fab.

    ReplyDelete
  26. yes yes yes. i absolutely would try it! its so french. so bardot. oh i love it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. love it! so relaxed and romantic.

    ReplyDelete
  28. My girl friend can pull off this look beautifully...I am really bad when it comes to making my hair all pretty and nice but I am so going to give it a try:)...There is always a first time,right?
    Kisses,Joanna

  29. I adore this look. And I think it would look amazing on a bride!

    ReplyDelete
  30. LOVE it! Though I'm from Texas where big hair is always in style :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I do this now...i LOVE my hair like this...retro is awesome..my mom rocked it back in the 60's and I'm grateful i inherited her crazy thick hair..perfect for teasing.
    that was a great how to link as well.

    ReplyDelete
  32. im always so worried about teasing my color treated locks :/ im gonna try it though maybe just not as big? or heavily teased

    KeepItFvncy,

  33. I'm loving this look - it makes me feel very Bridgitte Bardot!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Love that hair - I'm growing mine so I can have a beehive, though I'll probably end up looking like some sad old sixties throw-back!

    ReplyDelete
  35. This look is all over Sept Vogue - love it, as it reminds me of pictures of my mother in high school and when I was a little girl. Not sure I'll try it though...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yikes! I'd like to say yes, because if I could do big afros in the 70s I should be able to do this! But truthfully....No. I'll leave this one for people more adventurous than me! ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love love the hair and make up from the 60's - would love to give it a try!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I like it! Not sure if I'd be able to pull it off though. Maybe a moderated version... thanks for sharing the "how to"!

  42. I am so into the bee hive. I have been doing a lot of posts on big hair, but I have yet to try a real bee hive look! I think I need to!

    ReplyDelete
  43. abigail, that is awesome!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yet another hair trick I'll try (probably unsuccessfully) to master...

    ReplyDelete
  45. I totally would if I didn't have curly hair haha...hey maybe it would work anyways...?

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm not sure about this. There are some people who could rock this look, but if I tried it I'm sure I would end up looking like Snookie.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I would love to don this! I'll have to give it many practice runs as I fear it could easily turn the Snookie route...eeks

    ReplyDelete
  48. I've been rocking the beehive for months, and feel no shame in that, (at least not at present).

    ReplyDelete
  49. I don't think it ever went OUT of style! It's really adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  50. joanna, if you try it, do post photos!! :)

    I love this! She looks beautiful!

  52. i love this look! it is refreshing for fall!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Unfortunately, for me it's a resounding no! I'm going to leave the beehive look to elvira, the B52's and more recently snookie! haha

  54. HUGE fan of this. I'm wearing it a lot lately! Along with a messy bun- flawless!

    ReplyDelete
  55. molly, i'm so impressed!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Can't wait to try this with the 60s style dress I just purchased.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'm wearing this on the 16th & 17th to events. Going to have it done first by hairdresser because the last time I did it, you want to talk about a rat's nest?

    To those who think it smacks of snookiness,etc....think of a little,eentsy lower version & Julie Christie. That's why my hairdresser brought it up when I had the Times in my lap & she saw the pix.

    If you don't dress in "costume" & don't shriek nonsense at people, it can be very cool.

    cheers

    ReplyDelete
  58. Unfortunately I think Snookie has forever ruined any type of bee hive...cute or not. Aw Snookie - What. What. What are you doing with that bump-it!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I wear a modified bee-hive most days to work (in a pastry shop!), a little smaller, but still soft, and I tie it off with a droopy bow :D

    ReplyDelete
  60. It's darling!
    But I can't stand all that gunk in my hair!

  62. I do the bee hive all the time! I even went so far as to getting those Bump-Its (they don't work). Teasing is the only way to go :) xo

    ReplyDelete
  63. I would definitely try it...so pretty!

  64. I'm loving every fall trend thus far! Only, it's sort of hard to follow any trend here in Hawaii. If only running around in your swimsuit with salted curly locks could be a trend!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I saw a girl rocking this look on my way to class this morning and surprisingly loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  66. i love it. always have. always will. but i don't think i could do it to this extreme.

    ReplyDelete
  67. It's such a sexy retro look. Yes! Of course I'd try it! The only problem is I don't know how to do it :O(

    ReplyDelete
  68. I actually really really DONT like this look. I won't be sporting it.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I love beehives! I actually wear them all the time for special events. (I'm into all kinds of retro hairstyles--victory rolls, the flip, etc.) I kind of wish it WEREN'T coming back in style...I dont' want everyone else looking like me! ;)

    Alright so NY Times thinks it's making a comeback, but visit most smaller mid-west cities and it will be apparent that those with unconventional "good taste" have been rocking this doo for a long time. They also seem to don overly tanned skin and low-rise jeans. just sayin'.

    ReplyDelete
  71. i love the beehive...so sexy and chic!

  72. Definitely been sporting one lately!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I love the beehive look and totally plan on doing the look.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hmm.... maybe a small one! I prefer the natural and loose look.

  76. This makes me wish I had long hair.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I love it! Do you watch Mad Men, Joanna? Oh how I love that show. =)

    ReplyDelete
  78. oh i love it! i think i'll give it a try and channel my inner Mad Men. something has got to work with this unruly mane, so my hope is on this look.

    ReplyDelete
  79. this reminds me of the jersey shore...

    No! It looks like hay...
    natural soft glowing like yours is a keeper trend :-)

    ReplyDelete
  81. believe it or not, i wore my hair kind of like this the other day! maybe not so poufy on top, but if my hair is on the dirty side - this is such an easy style to pull off. i love it, and i think you would look fabulous - totally try it! :)

    ReplyDelete

    If I looked like her, then yes I would try it lol

    ReplyDelete
  86. I like her hair... but without the beehive on the back. I love the tousled pony tale look... not so much the beehive for me.

    ReplyDelete
  87. It would be so fun to try, but I can't even curl my own hair so I know I couldn't handle that.

    ReplyDelete
  88. I love this. I would do it in a minute.

  89. totally jersey-licious!!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. hah! i would totally try it if my hair were a bit longer...like ten inches or so longer....
    it's pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  91. I LOVE that hair. So sixties/Bardot. If only I wasn't cursed with curly hair.

    ReplyDelete
  92. oh yes that looks fantastic!!!

    ReplyDelete
  93. adorable! I won't be trying it out, though, as I just had my own hair bobbed for fall.

    ReplyDelete
  94. gorgeous!! im thinking of doing a 'mad men' themed for my upcoming40th birthday bash...this is a style that would be perfect for my hairdo!

    ReplyDelete
  95. i love this look! unfortunately, i could never pull it off. not only is it just not my style BUT my hair could NEVER have that much volume. now, the flat and lifeless look, my hair is great at that ... never disappoints :)

    ReplyDelete
  96. I love this 60's look too!
    got long hair, not so dfficult to build them up!
