This decade can rightly be called legendary in the fashion industry. Fashion trends radically differed from the style of the 50s, characterized by sophisticated glamor. Mini-skirts that made a real sensation, high-waisted dresses, double-breasted jackets, vinyl boots, overalls, zippered jackets, bright ethnic prints quickly burst into the world of fashion.
The new expressive style required new hairstyles - the letters and even curls faded into the background. In the 60s, the trend is graphic clear haircuts created by hairdresser Vidal Sassun, unusually stylish, modern and, importantly, easy to care for. For the first time, the bob haircut was demonstrated at the Mary Quantum collection, which introduced revolutionary mini-skirts to the whole world, and the ultra-short Pixie cut was created specifically for actress Mia Farrow. "Page" has become a favorite hairstyle of Mireille Mathieu, a kind of visiting card of the singer.
Jacqueline Kennedy, the wife of the president of the United States introduced the fashion for a variety of "bean" - voluminous "flip", a mega hairstyle popular in those years. From the classic "bean", "flip" is distinguished by the length of the hair (they should reach the shoulders), as well as the way of styling the ends (they are twisted not in, but out).
Today, "bob", "squeaks", "page" are at the peak of popularity, and many stars use the volumetric "flip" to exit onto the red carpet.
An alternative to short geometric haircuts was lush voluminous hairstyles, which became incredibly popular after the publication of the painting "Babette Goes to War" with Bridget Bardot. Charming sexy blonde with carelessly whipped hair and fleece made a splash. Despite the fact that the creation of such a hairstyle took a lot of time, the owners of long hair wanted by no means to be like a seductive French film actress.
If clear graphic haircuts reigned on the catwalk and in the film industry, being very popular with models, film actresses, singers, then in real life, girls had closer feminine hairstyles with combed hair a la Bridget Bardov in various interpretations. For extra volume, hairpieces were often used.
curious, that the creator of the geometric haircut, Vidal Sasun, did not at all consider hairstyles with bouffant bad taste and made them expertly.

Indeed, without the varnish, which was in short supply in the USSR, it was impossible to fix the hair, so enterprising fashionistas used sugar syrup to fix the fleece and did not comb their hair for several days.
"Babette" is created on long curls, both with bangs and without it. The principle of implementation is as follows: an intense pile is done on the hair, after which the strands are combed back and collected in a careless roller. At will, the hairstyle is decorated with ribbons, original hairpins, bows. The ceremonial option is the use of a diadem, crown, sparkling hoop and other exquisite accessories.

4. The resulting "babette" is divided into two parts, each of them is secured with invisibility.
5. Comb each of the two parts and stab with invisibility in the center, forming a bow under the roller.
There are a lot of variations of Babette. For example, an undivided voluminous tail, fixed in the form of a high roller on the crown, will add style and charisma to the image. “Babette” looks feminine and romantic, in which only part of the hair is collected on the top of the head, the remaining strands flow freely onto the shoulders.
To the elegant hairstyle of the 60s looked neat, you need to spray hair with varnish.

So, a classic hairstyle is suitable for girls with an oval face. Owners of a rhomboid or triangular face need to choose the option with a bang that starts at the very top of the head.
