Girls on Film: Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde

Girls on Film: Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde

There’s no doubt that the bob is a hair cut classic. Sported by many a fashion icon throughout history, our favourite bobbed babe and this week’s hair muse is Faye Dunaway from the American crime classic, Bonnie and Clyde.

Based on the story of armed robbers and outlaws Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow, the US urban legend was converted into a big-budget blockbuster in the late sixties starring Dunaway and Hollywood heartthrob, Warren Beatty. The film is considered a landmark flick by film buffs, as it broke down taboos and went on to become a pop culture classic.

Despite Faye’s bank-robbing, gun-toting escapades, the star miraculously manages to never have a hair astray, with her bob softly falling just under the shoulder. Those looking to achieve “The Faye” should start by selecting a natural, golden toned tint; your Glasshouse stylist can assist you in picking the best warm tone for your skin. If you’re serious about this look, perhaps don a beret à la Faye for an extra touch of frenchy, sixties flair - très bon!
