What’s been your most iconic hairstyle? In our latest survey with Vitabiotics, we looked into the top 50 most iconic hairstyles.
Our study of 2,000 adults saw the dark, slick-backed style worn by the singer (Elvis) during his rise to fame in the 1950s and 1960s top the poll with almost a third of the vote. Second place went to ‘Back to Black’ singer Amy Winehouse’s famous beehive, followed by Bob Marley’s dreadlocks.
Almost two-thirds of respondents admitted that having great hair improves their mood, saying compliments on their hairstyle makes them feel happy, uplifted and confident. In fact, 69 per cent went as far as to say a compliment on their hair has the power to ‘make their day’.
Almost three quarters also said having healthy hair is important to them, and more than half claiming that going to the hairdresser to sort out their style improves their mood.
Perfectil Hair Crush’s spokesperson added: ”There is a lot of information out there about how to keep our bodies healthy in terms of diet and exercise. But there’s surprisingly little that tells us how to keep our hair looking its best, from washing it to having the right nutritional support.”
Our research supported our sister company 72Point’s news generation campaign which featured a quiz to test knowledge on famous hairstyles.
