Expert Answer

Make sure that your hair has a lot of texture! If your hair is straight, this hairstyle isn't going to work. Start out with a regular or volume-boosting shampoo when you're in the shower, and use lots of volumizing and thickening products while you're blow-drying your hair.

Do I have to wear hair extensions?

Community Answer

Not as long as you have hair that is long enough for the style to be done.

Question

What does it look like in the end? I find the end of the instructions confusing, and there is no final photo.

Community Answer

Do a Google image search for "beehive hairdo" and you should get the gist. If you can't get it to look right, check YouTube for tutorials so you can watch someone else doing it.

Question

Does my hair need to be dirty or greasy to do a 1960s beehive hairdo?

Community Answer

It doesn't have to, however, having slightly dirty hair (1-2 days since washed) can help it stay up. Really clean hair won't work as well as slightly dirty hair.
