history
The beehive hairstyle was invented in 1960 by the American Margaret Vinci Heldt (1918-2016) from Elmhurst (Illinois) . Heldt, who owned a barber shop in downtown Chicago, had won the National Coiffure Championship in 1954 and was asked by Modern Beauty Salon magazine in 1960 to create a new hairstyle that would reflect the zeitgeist of the new decade. The hairstyle was created as a variant of the highly teased hair that was popular at the time . It was en vogue in the 1960s, especially in the United States, but also in Europe. Towards the end of the decade, the beehive went out of style.
