subject: Film Hairstyles [print this page] The best place to learn about the latest and greatest styles is in films. Whether you are watching the most recent sci-fi spectacular, or toning it down with a timeless classic, you can be sure that time and effort has been carefully spent to make sure that the hairstyles are in fitting with the time setting of the film. Thats why we have dug up some of the most well-known films that made specific hairstyles as famous as they are today.
One of the most everlasting hair style memories to come from a film has got to be that of Holly from Breakfast at Tiffanys. Audrey Hepburn made her name as the young socialite way back in the 60s, appearing as the beautiful young star. Hepburn made up-dos her trademark when appearing as Holly, with her hair styled beautifully in a neat high bun, secured with a stunning silver grip. This is a look mirrored today at high flying events by both stars and mere mortals alike.
Moving on to a film slightly later in time, Grease was the next big thing to make hair styles famous. Male or female, everyone wanted to be someone from Grease. John Travolta came onto the big screen as big shot Danny Zuko, with a hairstyle as major as his ego. The greased look, as it was, was taken from legend Elvis with jet black hair slicked with as much hair gel as you could get your hands on, twisted and quiffed at the front to the highest height possible. Keeping the sides combed, this was the smoothest look of the 1970s!
For the girls out there, it was a must to look like Sandy whether it be good girl or bad. Olivia Newton John started out as good Sandy, with her beach blond hair cut neatly into a blunt fringe with the rest hanging delicately to her shoulders, sometimes secured back at the sides with Kirby grips. To make sure she kept her squeaky clean image in tact for the beginning of the film, Sandy tied her hair up for the cheerleading bonfire with a pretty red bow. Bad Sandy however, was having none of that! Bad Sandy is as well-known as good Sandy, with her full-bodied head of curls standing far from the face. The hair got bigger and blonder, and the fringe disappeared as bad Sandy came on to the scene!
