Among the various trends popularized by First Lady Jackie Kennedy, one of the most well known was the bouffant hairdo. The hairdo dated back to the late 1950s when Life magazine profiled the aristocratic European look. Although its popularity during the early 1960s was immense, it was also a problematic, difficult style to wear, taking a great deal of preparation and a great number of tools.

The style faded out around 1964 after the assasination of President Kennedy and the end of "Camelot" in the United States. Although the hairdos demise was linked with tragedy, women across the country were undoubtedly delighted that the time consuming ritual had come to an end.
