How Do You Be Retro Like Amy Winehouse?
Singer Amy Winehouse rocketed to the top of the charts in 2006 and 2007 and many believed her iconic style helped the cause. Known for retro touches such as beehive hairdos and throwback accessories, Amy Winehouse is said to have inspired several designers, including Karl Lagerfield. If you have been searching for a new look that is both distinctive and familiar, you may find some satisfaction in these tips. Tease the hair on the crown of your head into a globe or pin in a so-called “rat” made of synthetic hair instead. The point is to create a bolus of hair that will act as the foundation for the retro beehive to come. Clip off sections of the hair on each side of your head in diagonal lines leading down and back from the temples. Fold each section over and pin it or spray it into place. Continue wrapping sections over the crown until you have created a freestanding mound that can maintain its shape. Clean your face and exfoliate so the heavy make-up to come won’t irritate your skin.
