Hollywood Hair Buzz: The Beehive

By CC Staff

It’s no surprise that the beehive is back. A. Simp first started it with the small bang pompadour a few years ago. Ever since then, the beehive has just been growing…literally.

The beehive, donned by the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Marge Simpson, has made an appearance on some of our favorite troubled musicians. Amy Winehouse is known for the ‘do with Britney and Lilly Allen following her lead. Even Scar-Jo took the look for a test run at the Louis Vuitton runway show in Paris.

I should have listened to my grandmother a few years ago when she told me that big hair was making a comeback. Even CNN documented the return of the hive in 1997 (hello, 7^th grade). Apparently, it just took a few celebrities to take the trend to the top (haha).

If you’re feeling daring, try the beehive for yourself. Hell, even guys—albeit not straight ones—are trying it out. There are plenty of instructions out there to help you along and plenty of stylists willing to make your hair go sky high. But really all you need is dirty hair, hairspray, a few bobby pins and maybe the movie Hairspray for a bit of inspiration.

Personally, I enjoy a good beehive to quell my early morning bad hair days (usually the result of an incredibly late night). They say the higher the hair, the closer to God. Hey, at least I’m doing something religious…right?
