Throughout history, hairstyles have spoken volumes about a persons heritage, social and economic status and personality. Forms of stacked and inverted hairstyles span several decades, including classic examples such as the beehive from the 1950s and the mod bob of the 1960s. Many modern hairstyles have used these vintage and classic stacked and inverted looks as inspiration. Three of the most popular stacked and inverted looks include the bob, the bun and the poof.

Inverted and Stacked Bobs

    The bob first originated with Louise Brooks in the1920s. The inverted bob features a taper around the perimeter of the style so that hair lays with the shape of the head. Hair around the neckline is kept close and should be straight to wavy. The crown of the head has more fullness while the back of an inverted bob has a more tapered and stacked look. Stacked bob hairstyles are slightly more versatile than the inverted bob, as they can be worn with any hair type.

    The stacked bob resembles the layered bob without a distinct shape or precise angle cut into the perimeter. Sections of hair appear stacked on top of one another, which adds volume and weight to hair. The stacked bob can be cut to emphasize certain features or elongate the neck. It can also add more volume to thin hair or control difficult hair.

Messy and Classic Buns

    The classic bun involves gathering the hair into a ponytail, twisting it into a coil and winding the coil tightly around itself until it forms a circular shape. The messy bun is less structured than the classic bun but involves the same process. The messy bun requires the hair to be gathered into a ponytail, but doesnt require the hair to be coiled before winding it around itself. The messy bun is loosely arranged while the classic bun is sleek and tight.

    Pull thin strands of hair loose from around the neck and face to complete the messy bun. For the classic bun, slick back any stray hairs to create a smooth, polished look.

    Both buns can be secured with pins or elastic bands and worn on top of the head or at the nape of the neck. Each style is appropriate for casual and dressy occasions.

The Poof

    The poof gained popularity in the 1950s and 1960s and is a common style among runway models. The poof involves adding height to the hair on the top of the head through teasing or adding a support clip. Poofs can be combined with a ponytail, slicked back sides or be left alone. The poof is the basis for other hair styles such as the female faux hawk or stacked up-dos. The poof may begin mid-crown or at the bangs or front hairline. It may also be asymmetrical or include only half the head and vary in size and volume.
