People have always been extremely dedicated to their appearance, and nothing exemplifies this better than 1960s hairstyles. Whether it was the “beehive,” the “bouffant,” or just the “oh my God, look at that thing,” fashionable hairstyles of the time all had one thing in common – they were huge, often larger than the woman’s actual head.
