The beehive hairstyle made a major comeback in 2011, appearing on runways from Jean Paul Gaultier to Nina Ricci. This retro-inspired look, originally popularized in the 1960s, brought height and drama back to the fashion world with a modern twist.
Designers like Bottega Veneta and Ruffian showcased updated beehive styles that felt fresh while honoring the classic silhouette. The key to modern beehive styling is creating volume at the crown while keeping the rest of the look polished and contemporary.
Creating a beehive at home requires backcombing for volume, careful smoothing of the top layers, and plenty of hairspray to maintain the shape. This collection includes photos from top fashion shows as well as a video tutorial to help you master this iconic style.
