Dev Anand: The lover boy of Bollywood
Ask your grandma and she'll tell you how girls used to die over this hairdo. Dev Anand's puffed hairstyle was a rage back then. And with those eyes and that boyish charm, we don't quite blame anyone for falling in love with him.
Dilip Kumar: The rugged God
There was a certain mature sexiness about this man. The side style of hair, which was either slicked back or tousled, made everyone drool over Dilip Kumar. So many guys have tried aping this style at some point or other.
Manoj Kumar: Tragedy King
The king of emoting, Manoj Kumar had this aura that transported the audience into his world of on-screen tragedies. Though his dressing sense was simple, he set the trend with a flock of rough curly hair that sat neatly in the middle with trimmed sides. It was indeed a classic 60's look.
Shammi Kapoor: Royalty personified
May God rest his soul in eternal peace. Always a ladies’ man, he'll forever remain one of the most enigmatic actors ever. Those magnetic light eyes, that dazzling persona and swagger look! Shammi Kapoor's ducktail hairstyle with an edgy side fringe became a big style statement among the then-young generation.
Amitabh Bachchan: The undisputed Shahenshah
It kinda hurts to call him a yesteryear actor. The legend is unstoppable and still at the top of his game. The superstar wooed women with his 70s long, middle-parted hairstyle (and lots of it) with thick sideburns in movies like 'Anand' and 'Zanjeer'. Have you ever got your favourite celebrity-inspired haircut? Maybe a celebrity-inspired look?
Our minds get flooded with images of thick, extended eyeliners, coy expressions and lots of adaa, the moment we think of yesteryear Bollywood actresses. There was something so special about them that even with all those high-profile designers and makeup artists, today’s divas cannot possibly recreate that magic. And what comes into our minds when we say handsome Bollywood hunks of the bygone era? Charisma, retro moves and iconic hairstyles. From donning long flocks to side curls, from unkempt hair to mullets, Bollywood actors have done everything! Their mane was so popular that hairdressers at the salon had a hard time trying to recreate those looks at the behest of thousands of besotted gals and guys.
