UNIQUE AND MEMOEABLE HAIR STYLES OF BOLLYWOODS RETRO ACTRESSES

'Old is Gold' proverb is true when you look back into our age old Bollywood films. Not only films, people even now value our ‘Old' Bollywood heroines as Gold. They are such divas that actresses from our generation mimic them and UNIQUE HAIRSTYLES....

Sadhna Cut

This hairstyle, which is popularly known as ‘Sadhna Cut’, marked a massive storm in the industry. A tight fitting Churidar, with a fringe in the front, was a style statement of 60’s. The hairstyle was inspired from Audrey’s look in Hollywood. Sadhna’s front fringe gave her a sweet and seductive look, in the famous movie- Waqt. Many others (including our grand moms) tried to get this look, but no one could match the style that Sadhna carried herself.

Bouffant

Our beautiful Bollywood queens loved to add extra volume in a bouffant and strands of hair, falling on the sides. This was a remarkable hair- do of the 60’s. From gorgeous Waheeda Rahman to elegant Saira Banu , Asha Parekh no lady could resist a bulky bouffant.

PIN AND PROPER

The hot and happening upcoming young stars of the 70s preferred to keep it cute and simple by sporting a middle parting with clips on either side.
