Some of the best, reproducible vintage hairstyles for Women from the 60s, specifically for short hair, are as following:

Comb your thick bangs to one side and let the rest of the hair to taper down to the ears in a modern, tousled look. Or you can make a full side part, tuck the pixie ends behind the ear, and put on the hairspray to temper the sticky hair.
