Marilyn Monroe has been voted the greatest blonde of all time beating such famous beauties as Cameron Diaz, Madonna or Scarlett Johansson.

The second best was actress Grace Kelly, French beauty Brigitte Bardot was third, while Cameron Diaz came fourth.

A Clairol Nice ’n Easy – the company which commissioned One Poll to conduct the survey – representative said: “Marilyn Monroe has always been known for her iconic blonde hair.

“But it’s amazing to think that even now, almost half a century after her death, she has still beaten modern blondes to the top spot.

“Her hair is synonymous with 1950s glamor but it has stood the test of time against hair styles and colors which have come and gone over the years.”

Other stars to make the top twenty include Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry, Madonna and Gwen Stefani.

Elvira Mistress of Dark is absolutely the only female Halloween character that got such immortal fame and recognition. There are many traits of Elvira that contribute in her magical appearance as Mistress of Dark. Her exotic make up, sexy gown, her long black hair and the devil may care attitude adds to her timeless beauty. Elvira’s hairstyle was very trendy in 60’s and was named beehive as it look like the beehive.

After an ample research, unfortunately I failed to get a single hair piece or wig that exactly matched with Elvira’s hairstyle. There were many who claimed their wigs are similar to her but none came close like it. They were long black hair but short from front and few curls on top of them. Elvira Mistress of Dark has a very special and unique hairstyle. There are many online shopping websites that offer celebrity costumes, wigs, accessories and similar items for their fan followers. I came across one website that offered a wig that comparatively similar to Elvira hairstyle. It was dark black hair and bit fuller and volume on top. If you want to create your own fashion statement by making your on Elvira hairstyle. You can add more height and volume back combing is recommended. Back combing always give that extra height and volume to your dull life less hair. Elvira hairstyle needs some extra puff on the top and back combing will definitely help.

You can make your own Elvira hairstyle, by placing a knee-hi nylon or stuff some tissue paper or paper towel on upper part of your head and put back comb hair on it till it gets a half ball domed shape. However it’s best to get the perfect shape by placing it on someone’s head or some wig stand. It is recommended to secure your Elvira hairstyle by hairpins. These helpful hairpins will support the added lift or Elvira’s trademark crown of hair. Secure the beehive style by putting generous amount of hair spray after back combing and placing hairpins.
