The Beehive (the fashion style)

The Beehive hairstyle, popularized in the 1960s, is a voluminous updo characterized by its structured, rounded shape that resembles a hive. It involves backcombing or teasing the hair to create fullness, then sculpting it upward and inward to form a domed, tightly packed style atop the head. The look conveys elegance and sophistication, often paired with bold makeup and fashionable outfits of the era. The Beehive became a symbol of 1960s fashion, embodying a glamorous and eye-catching aesthetic that emphasized height, volume, and meticulous styling.
