Beehive

A tall, rounded updo built with backcombing, shaped like a traditional beehive.

Also: B-52

The beehive is a high, cone-shaped updo built by setting the hair on rollers, backcombing it heavily and smoothing the surface over a tall dome, then fixing it with pins and hairspray. It was created by the Chicago hairdresser Margaret Vinci Heldt in 1960 and became one of the defining looks of the 1960s, worn by girl groups and film stars. It returned in the 2000s and remains a choice for vintage and retro looks.
