Amy Winehouse (Associated Press)

OK, so, Amy Winehouse isn't exactly a style icon. But you gotta give the girl credit, she has a signature look, thanks primarily to that high-post, high-altitude beehive.

Besides Winehouse -- who sports her hair hived most of the time -- the popular style of the late '50s and '60s is mostly seen these days at Halloween parties or on starlets seeking to sprinkle retro flavor onto the red carpet.

But that doesn't mean people don't love a good beehive, or at least gawking one.

Here's how to build one:

-- Use five or six medium rollers for the front; start rolling above the left eye.

-- Turn the hair to the right and end these curls at the right ear.

-- Set three forward pin curls close to the hairline on the left side. Then set one medium-sized roller with the hair curled toward the face.

-- For the crown, use four jumbo rollers turned towards the face. Set the remainder of the hair on medium rollers turned diagonally toward the left.

-- To comb out your set, brush your hair out wildly. Use mousse, hair spray or other products that make the hair shapeable.

-- Separate the front, crown and the sides. Pin the four sections out of your way.

-- In the back, leave about 1 1/2 inches of hair free. Roll the rest forward to form a large roll. Spray.

-- Brush the rest of the hair in back and pin it going toward the right, leaving the ends free. Spray.

-- Comb the left side section back and work it into the roll with hair pins. Spray and repeat on the right side.

-- Back-comb or tease the hair at crown to make it stand tall.

-- Brush the front hair to the left, dipping it slightly to form the bang and blend ends smoothly into the roll. Spray. Spray. Spray.
