With so many decades making a comeback, it’s hard to stick to one solid trend. Mod hair, for instance, is the star this season and many designers are recreating their own version of the popular trend that took over the streets of London years ago. Although mixing decades is no crime, today we take a stroll down memory lane for hair inspiration from the true pioneers.

Peggy Moffit
When we consider the impressions and ideas that we have of the hairstyles of an era, it’s all about the people that made them memorable. The brave adventurers who embraced new looks and introduced them in magazines, films and on the street. In this sense, Peggy Moffitt certainly made a statement in the 60s with her asymmetrical five-point cut, her signature look.

Twiggy
A skinny kid with the face of an angel. With her boyish hair cut, striking eyelashes and small figure, Twiggy created a style that has inspired short hairstyles over decades.

Brigitte Bardot
The french model, actress, singer and even animal rights activist taught us to embrace big hair. A look that has done as much good for fashion inspiration as bad for the reputation of blond women (sorry Brigitte!).

Jean Shrimpton
Considered by some to be the world’s first supermodel, her look is undeniable: big, feminine 60’s hair, cute bangs and Audrey Hepburn grace. A little fun fact for you: she also takes credit for launching the mini skirt into popularity in 1965 by wearing a piece that was a 10 cm above her knee, pretty shocking at the time!

Edie Sedgwick
Best known for being one of Andy Warhol’s superstars, Edie Sedwick was the first to be called an “It Girl” and was “Girl of the year” in 1965. It is said that Edie cut off her long, brown locks when she joined the Factory crew and dyed her hair platinum blonde. Does this punk rock iconic style ring a bell?

And yes, Goldie Hawn!
