Women and Other 1960's Divas and Their Unforgettable Style

| FROM
SOUPCAN SIZED ROLLERS TO THE GEOMETRIC HAIRCUTS OF VIDAL SASOON During the early 1960's, women went to bed with huge rollers pinned into their hair. Once they were removed, the hair was teased or backcombed to create one of several styles -- the beehive, the bouffant, the flip or the french roll. Backcombing damaged the hair but women of the 1960's were willing to sacrifice healthy hair to be in vogue -- until the genius of Vidal Sassoon changed the way women viewed hairstyles. Many, including Edie Sedgwick, opted for the slick mod cuts being churned out at Vidal's Madison Avenue salon - a trend that would spread around the world, along with the mini-skirt, pop dresses with cutouts and long zippers, boots and flat-heeled shoes. |
