1960s voted the best hair decade
The Sixties have been crowned the most stylist decade when it comes to hairstyles – according to a new poll.
The survey, conducted by ECigaretteDirect.co.uk, asked 800 people to name which decade of the last 60 years they believe had the most desirable hairstyles.
The decade, famed for styles such as the Twiggy bob and Audrey Hepburn’s beehive, topped the poll with over a third of the vote (34%).
The retro styles of the 1950s like the ‘Marilyn’ and the ‘Pompadour’ – sported by the likes of Elvis and James Dean - came second in the survey with just over a quarter of the vote (26%).
Just under a fifth (19%) believed that the 1990s had the coolest coiffeurs, with nearly all respondents citing Jennifer Aniston’s ‘Rachel’ as the decade’s defining hairdo.
