The 60s Beehive & Backcombing

Equipment;

• Pin tail comb
• Heated rollers
• Roller grips - metal or clips
• Hairspray
• Grips
• Thin open grips
• Sectioning grips

Method;

1. Turn on the heated rollers.
2. Part the fringe into a side parting and section it off from the rest of the hair. 
3. Use brick work, and start in the middle of the top of the head. Place in the first roller, make sure its tight without any lumps when going into the roller. Use your pintail comb to help this along.
4. When you feel the back of your head, you can feel where it comes out then dips back in and down into the neck. You want to put all the hair into rollers up until it starts to dip down. 
5. With the hair on the side of the head, angle to roller round so it gives that curved effect for the beehive to fall naturally. 
6. The fringe need to be put into rollers going towards the ears.
7. With the back of the hair, the rollers need to be going into the middle of the head with two on each side. 
8. Let it all cool.
9. Take out all the rollers and they will all naturally fall into place a flow backwards.
10. At the roots, gently push down with the pintail comb to create the backcomb, wrap it round and pin it in place with a grip. 
11. With the bottom of the hair, pull to the opposite side of which the top of the hair is pinned, and place two grips in a cross to secure it tightly. Wrap it into one and then pull it the other direction so it flows naturally with the top half of the backcomb.
12. The fringe with the larger section needs to come round and fall neatly into place with the back of beehive. 
13. With the other section of the fringe, I place it into a round flower shape for a bit of decoration. 
14. Look at the hair in the mirror once finished and with the pintail comb, pull the backcomb out and into place to perfect the beehive.
