Lois Maxwell (Miss Moneypenny) in "Dr. No" and 13 other Bond films
Fun fact: Although Moneypenny seems like the ideal British secretary; actress Maxwell is actually Canadian. (Source: imdb.com)
Get the look: Tease all over the top of your hair, starting at the crown, to achieve the height necessary for this updo. Then smooth out the top layer of hair -- or for a more modern take, leave the teased texture of the hair showing like this look.

Ursula Andress (Honey Ryder) in "Dr. No"
Fun fact: The producers of the movie offered Andress the part of Honey Ryder two weeks before filming started after only seeing a picture of her. (Source: imdb.com)
Get the look: For a wet look (without jumping into the ocean), use gel and pomade to slick hair back. This look works great on short hair.

Honor Blackman (Pussy Galore) in "Goldfinger"
Fun fact: Blackman is the oldest Bond girl; she was 37 years old at the time of filming. (Source: imdb.com)
Get the look: These waves look great on longer hair (shorter hair looks a little June Cleaver with waves like Blackman's). For a modern take; check out this Hollywood glam look.

Claudine Auger (Dominique "Domino" Derval) in "Thunderball"
Fun fact: To cover Auger's French accent, deemed too strong by filmmakers, Nikki Van der Zyl, who dubbed Andress's voice in Dr. No, was brought in to dub Auger's lines. (Source: imdb.com)
Get the look: One way to get enough volume for this '60s sex-bomb look is with hot rollers (see this hot rollers how-to video for help). After you take the rollers out, brush hair straight for mega volume. You can also tease hair at the crown for added oomph and finish by spritzing hair with hairspray to keep the look from falling flat.
