Talking about hair trends of the bygone era, we can’t miss the legendary Sadhna cut. Inspired by her lookalike Audrey Hepburn’s hair, Sadhna Shivdasani wore the adorable pixie bangs in movies like Love in Shimla, and caused a sensation among women in the time when only a few knew and followed trends.

Hair puffed in an elaborate updo was popularised by the leading ladies of Bollywood including Sharmila Tagore, Hema Malini, Mumtaz and Helen in the 60s and early 70s. The bulky bouffant was often adorned with flowers and teamed with side curled flicks. Talk about OTT hair!
