In the 1960s, American youth spawned the hippie movement: Flower power was hip and an alternative way of life, which expressed itself in nature, a peace movement against the war in Vietnam and consumer criticism. This was accompanied by an unconventional style: one flowing mane, bell bottoms and hair bands belonged to the common image of the hippies. If you want to recreate the hippie look nowadays, you will find inspiration for the most beautiful hairstyles here.
Hippie hairstyles: ideas & inspiration
Open hair
- A flowing mane with or without bangs, curly or smooth – that comes close to the hippie look. If the hair a little bit fuzzy look, then it doesn't matter at all! Plus Feathers and colored ribbons in the hair or a narrow headband, which holds back the hair, and the hairstyle is perfect!
Half open
- Open hair looks great, but can quickly make you sweat in summer or annoy you if you keep falling on your face. The alternative is called "half open": Take the top coat together and tie it into a braid at the back of the head. Alternatively, you can also take two individual strands of the front cover hair back and pin them with hair clips.
