Beehives and buns are two popular hairstyles. A beehive is a tall, conical hairstyle that was popular in the 1960s. It is created by backcombing or teasing the hair and then shaping it into a tall dome shape. A bun is a hairstyle where the hair is gathered and twisted into a knot at the back of the head. Updos are similar to buns, but they are more elaborate and involve more styling. Dos is a shortened form of the word hairdo, which refers to any hairstyle. STINGS are thin strands of hair that are used to create intricate designs in updos and other hairstyles.
