Fashion is forever repeating itself. It comes as no surprise that the 60s are once again knocking on our wardrobe doors and popping up in our make-up bags. Here’s a look at a backcombed style for XXL volume. Spotted at Marc Jacobs.
 
The sixties trend. With each season comes a new set of trends. But it’s not unusual to see a decade from the past as a source of inspiration. The decade that has been the most prominent in Spring-Summer 2013 collections are the 60s. A mixture of swing cuts, geometrical prints, bright colours and mini-skirts. As for beauty, eyes are painted with black eyeliner and hair is pumping up the volume with this handy backcombing technique!
 
How to create the retro quiffed style. First and foremost, apply a styling mousse to damp hair to add texture and structure. Next, blow dry and straighten your hair using straightening irons or by blowdrying your hair with a hairdryer and round brush for a more flexible result. Then, use a comb to backcomb your hair on the top of your head only. Start by creating a side parting for an asymmetrical separation. Backcomb the inside of the hair so it’s not visible. Finally, tie the lengths into a smooth, low ponytail.
