Dancing Hair, the iconic 1986 La Coupe Collection, was inspired by Ginger Rogers dancing with Fred Astaire in the famously romantic 1935 movie, “Top Hat.” This hair by the King of Chic Chignons, Antonio da Costa Rocha, couldn’t be more elegant, more romantic or more flattering. It’s not just a braid wrapped around the head. To see more versions and how to do it, click here:

Dancing hair by the great Antonio da Costa Rocha of La Coupe has never dated, although it was created, with huge success, in 1986. False hair was braided, twisted and twirled to wrap around the head for a romantic, elegant evening, giving flattering height and width to the head. Some of the braids had colors entwined. So many great photos in the album, a how-to, and the video that inspired the iconic style.  More Dancing Hair, click here:
