The swingin' '60s: A decade defined by free love, Beatlemania and of course, some of the biggest updos ever seen. Long before Marge Simpson sauntered onto our screens with her massive blue coif, she had a long line of '60s gals that came before her, ones who embodied the old adage of "the higher the hair, the closer to God."
From sky-high beehives to poufs that required no less than one (1) can of industrial-grade hairspray, here are 30 '60s chicks who entirely stole Marge Simpson's big-hair vibe.
