Mushroom Head: The Comeback of The Trend Hairstyle

The mushroom head is back – and looks cooler than ever! Here you can find out what is important for a trendy hairstyle and how to style it.

Mushroom head – The trend from the 60s

In the 60s a new hairstyle was established: The special thing about it was that the hair in front and at the back of the head was the same length and was combed straight down. This was a very accurate cut, which in its silhouette is not at all dissimilar to a mushroom head …

The Beatles first made the mushroom head famous as a man’s hairdo. Later the short haircut became established also with women through a photo of the actress Janet Leigh with a mushroom head wig. The model Peggy Moffit or the fashion designer Mary Quant later made the cut popular.

So you style the mushroom head

• From the long fringe to the back of the head the hair is cut to the same length. The mushroom head is therefore ideal for straight hair.
• You can comb the hair straight down or, to get volume in the hair, style it into shape with a round brush and a hairdryer. Afterwards some hair gel (alternatively wax) provides for individual accents or a light fuzzy look.

Extra tip: The mushroom head is also ideal as a transitional hairstyle. So if you plan to let your short hair grow out, the mushroom head is a perfect solution! Just make sure that the tips need to be trimmed every one or two months.

Mushroom head: With these advantages the short haircut scores

• The mushroom head looks very casual and stylish at the same time – and that’s why it’s so popular in the blogger scene.
• The short hair length directs the eye to the facial features as well as neck and shoulders, which supports a feminine touch. At the same time, the hairstyle also has something bold and courageous about it – it’s not without reason that in the 60s and 70s short hair was a symbol of the emancipated woman!
