One black 60s flick-up wig with pre-styled outward curls

This Womens 1960s Black Flick-Up Wig delivers instant retro transformation with the decade's signature hairstyle — a shoulder-length bob with full bangs and those iconic outward-curling ends. The voluminous crown and teased silhouette capture authentic bouffant styling without the hour-long blow-dry session your mum remembers from the era.

The synthetic fibres hold their shape and sheen straight from the packet — smooth black with a slight gloss that photographs well under party lights. Thick fringe sits just above the eyebrows; ends flip outward at shoulder level in that classic go-go dancer curl. Elastic cap band keeps it secure whether you're dancing to The Supremes or striking poses at a themed photo booth.

Perfect For

1960s Themed Parties: The natural choice for mod events, Austin Powers costume parties, or any decade dress-up where you want authentic mid-century hair without the commitment.

Halloween & Costume Events: Pairs brilliantly with shift dresses, go-go boots, and bold geometric patterns for vintage TV hostess, retro rock-and-roll singer, or swinging sixties party girl costumes.

Theatrical Productions: Ideal for school musicals, community theatre, or any performance set in the 1960s — the pre-styled curls stay put through quick costume changes and stage lighting.

How to Wear It

Tuck your natural hair flat under a wig cap first (makes all the difference for a smooth crown). Adjust the elastic band at the nape for a snug fit. Pair with dramatic winged eyeliner and bold eyeshadow for full 60s effect — skip modern contouring, this era was all about graphic colour and thick lashes.

FAQs

Q: Will this fit over thick or long hair?

A: Yes, the elastic cap stretches to accommodate most hair volumes. For best results with long hair, braid it flat against your scalp or twist into a low bun before adding a wig cap, then the wig. The cap is forgiving but works best when your natural hair sits as flat as possible.

Q: Does the wig need styling before wearing?

A: No — it arrives pre-styled with the flick-up curls set into the synthetic fibres. Shake it out gently, adjust the fringe if needed, and it's ready to wear. Do not apply heat (straighteners, curling irons) to synthetic wigs as they'll melt.

Q: Can I wash this wig?

A: Yes, but sparingly. Hand-wash in cool water with mild shampoo, rinse gently, and air-dry on a wig stand or over a rounded object to maintain the shape. Avoid wringing or brushing while wet. The curls should spring back as it dries.

Q: How realistic does this look?

A: It reads as a costume wig rather than natural hair — the synthetic sheen and set curls are deliberately retro-styled. Perfect for themed events where you want obvious 60s hair, less suited if you're aiming for subtle everyday wear. The thick fringe and voluminous crown photograph brilliantly.

Care: Store on a wig stand or in original packaging to preserve the curl shape between wears.
