1963—Long Bangs and Layers
Here we have once again the formidable femme fatale Brigitte Bardot, known for her iconic movies such as And God Created Woman and Love is My Profession.
1963’s most popular hairdo was long bangs and layers, and here we see Bardot modeling long sleek locks with effortless style and panache.
This time also saw Bardot expanding her movie repertoire to a more international audience, starring in the French drama movie Le Mépris, directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and fully cemented her status as the ultimate 1960s bombshell.
1964—Geometric Cuts
With the advent of bangs and sleek styles came a slow turn into shorter haircuts, modeled here by 60s style icon and fashion designer Mary Quant.Quant was credited with ushering in a new era of style and chicness in the 60s, moving away from the over-the-top and ultra-coiffed styles into a simple, chic, less-is-more kind of vibe.
1964 was the year of the geometric cut, introduced by the iconic celebrity hairstylist Vidal Sassoon. Here we can see Quant modeling the sleek cut, perfectly complementing her signature suaveness.
