Beehive Trending - How To Style The Retro Rockabilly Hairstyle?

A beehive not only fits perfectly with the sixties look but also goes well with modern robes. We explain how you can easily touch up your hair at home.

Beehive: What is it and who wears the hairstyle?

The Beehive, which owes its name to its resemblance to a beehive, was particularly popular in the 1960s. Film icons like Audrey Hepburn and Barbara Streisand made it a cult with their mystical elegance. Even today, the beehive is an integral part of the red carpet – and since Amy Winehouse at the latest, the hairstyle has simply been part of retro chic.

The glamorous sixties look goes perfectly with upscale evening events, balls, and fine dinners - above all, the hairstyle can be complemented with glittering headbands or hairbands. The indisputable advantage of the beehive: Noble necklaces or eye-catching chandelier earrings take center stage with this hairstyle.

Jennifer Lopez, Penélope Cruz, Beyoncé, and Kim Kardashian see it that way: they wear the voluminous splendor with elegant and modern evening gowns. Even if they have long been stars, the Beehive still envelops them in the aura of a 1960s Hollywood beauty. With singer Adele, the hairstyle looks very natural and goes well with her diva look. This stretches your rather angular face and makes your forehead appear higher. Thumbs up!

Who can wear the Beehive?

Do you want glamor hair too? Unfortunately, the hairstyle doesn't work for every hair length: Your hair should be at least over shoulder length and, unfortunately, what you need most of all is a full head of hair.

If you have an oblong face shape, then you could run the risk that the hairstyle doesn't really flatter you. The Beehive conjures up more volume on the head and makes the forehead appear higher. This also visually stretches the face.

The hair color, on the other hand, doesn't matter: the Beehive always looks classy with blonde, black, brunette, or red.

You need this for the Beehive

To style the Beehive at home, all you need is a regular hair tie, two small bobby pins or hair ties, a tail comb, hairspray, bobby pins, and dry shampoo if needed.

Step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: To give your hair even more volume, you can spray the hairline with dry shampoo beforehand, leave it on for a few minutes, and then carefully brush out any residue.
Step 2: Now grab the tail comb. Section off your bangs and tie them together with clips or small hair ties. Now you can backcomb your hair in strands at the back of your head. Mist each strand with hairspray for extra hold.
Step 3: Now carefully comb the teased hair backward. The volume must not be lost in the process.
Step 4: Gather the backcombed section in the form of a ball at the back of the head and fix it with bobby pins.
Step 5: Slightly backcomb two strands on either side of the head, comb them backward and tie them underneath the beehive.
Step 6: You can now loosen the two strands on the front of your head and either pin them to the side at the back or twist them in with curlers and let them fall casually.
Step 7: Finally fix everything with plenty of hairsprays.
